mezanne1401 190 Posted December 8, 2012 I was sleeved Nov 12. Did really good for the first 2 weeks. Advanced per orders to soft. Couldn't keep anything down and slimed a lot. Regressed back to full liquids/pudding and I am so miserably full. I ate 3 small bites a scrambled egg and was full to the top. I drank some broth just now and it didn't stay down. I can't even force fluids like I need to. I was in the ER yesterday for a kidney stone and I don't know if I am just sick from all of that or what! Getting aggravated that I can't drink water! Anyone else go through this almost a month out???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShouldBlittler 89 Posted December 8, 2012 I STILL can't drink Water and I am 6 months out. What helps me is my morning smoothie. I blend a lot of ice in it. I drink it all day and it gets my fluids in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

minxie 13 Posted December 8, 2012 I was sleeved on 11/8 and had to go back in last Monday to get an endoscopy to stretch my stomach. I still get full after 2-3 bites. I'm eating 1 meal per day and drinking Protein drinks and Water through the day. I'm not supposed to be eating much yet anyway. 6 weeks is when I can start eating. The difficulty was that semi-solids (mashed potato, cream of wheat, thick soups) were getting stuck, and most times if I ate sitting down I'd get stuck and slime/vomit. I'm still eating slowly and doing lots of Soup and other soft things. Call your surgeon, get a swallow test, maybe ask about an endoscopy. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelergirl 135 Posted December 9, 2012 I thought it was impossible to stretch your stomach How did they do it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She ended up having too much scar tissue and didn't leave enough room for her to eat properly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mezanne1401 190 Posted December 9, 2012 There is a little part of me that wishes I could get my stomach stretched just a bit. I can only eat 1 oz of anything. Lot of slimes. This is so much harder than any diet I have ever tried in my life. Just praying that it will be worth it in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spieldose 14 Posted December 9, 2012 I couldn't imagine being able to eat one ounce of anything... I was sleeved November 12 and can eat about 3-5 oz, depending on how dense it is Sent from my iPhone using VST 1 ebonymorton reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minxie 13 Posted December 9, 2012 I thought it was impossible to stretch your stomach How did they do it? No idea - I was under sedation. I don't believe it involved cutting though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
