I was sleeved on 2/12 and I've noticed that after I swallow purée food because that's the stage I'm on now I feel like a cramp I guess that's the best way to describe it but it feels like its at the bottom of my stomach I thought I was eating to fast but I've been timing my bites and using baby spoons until I get the hang of it I've been waiting a min of two minutes between bits I'm worried I have a leak or stricture for those of you who have had these problems what were your signs and symptoms ? What made you thinks something was wrong? When I had a lapband my port flipped and had band slippage and my symptoms were different from what my doc said and what I researched so I would love to hear from others experiences

I was sleeved on Jan 10th one week form surgery I developed a leak I was taken by ambulance and stayed 5 days in hospital .They did not have to go back in but I could not eat for 2 days and then they put a pic line in .If you have a leak you will know you get the most horrible pains up your shoulders and get very clammy and weak .I turned gray and my blood sugar shot way high and pulse went way low .Good luck to you as of today I still feel kinda crappy after I eat but it is getting better.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
