Sleeved 2/11, still cant eat much!



Recommended Posts

Is it still rough on consumption for you guys? I know I shouldn't complain since I started at 275lbs and I now weigh 228 and it has only taken 2 1/2 months. I just still find it very hard to eat, it actually makes me wonder if my sleeve has gotten smaller. For instance, I made a 3 ounce steak last night for dinner and 1.5 ounces of green Beans. I got about 4 bites down so like I always do, I packed it up for lunch at work. Well I ate it for lunch and got full then saved it for dinner. I still didn't finish it for dinner but only had like 3 bites left. So I made that steak dinner in to 3 meals and still had some left, threw it away of course. At this time you would think I could eat more but it seems like I eat less then I did a month ago.. Crazy! How is it for you all?

I am five months out and still do not eat red meat

It's just to hard on my stomach still. Is it just steak or all foods?

All foods, it doesn't matter.

I handle red meats fine though. Never had a problem getting them down.

It's been 10 months for me and although I eat more than I did when I was only a few months out, I still don't eat a lot. I am never hungry and I only eat because I have to. food lasts me a long time too lol! I can't eat ground meat. It makes me sick! Food is definitely trial and error though! Congrats on your journey!

That's a hard one... If your not feeling sick when you eat, like needing to throw up its probably fine but if you do start to feel like things just aren't going down it would be worth a call to the doctor to make sure there's not a build up of scar tissue

I just get stomach pains every now and then which is my fault for not paying attention. Thanks for the heads up :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
