When did you first feel sleeve restrictions?



Recommended Posts

I'm 9 days post op and can eat a small Jello @ one time. I don't want to hurt my new sleeve.

2 weeks, when I started eating pureed dense Protein. During my full liquids, I could have light yogurt and could get down 5.3 oz single cup of greek yogurt with no isses. I can barely eat 2 oz of Protein without feeling like I got socked in the stomach.

I am still working with my sleeve to understand its signals.

When I started eating food.......the liquids went through easier.......I don't think you hurt your sleeve.

Congratulations, welcome to the losers bench!

Thank you!! I haven't tried a full yogurt yet. I take out half which is 3oz. I've heard so many people express how your sleeve is numb, don't want to chance blowing a staple. :)

It's profoundly unlikely that this would ever happen. You won't "blow a staple." In the beginning, with liquids, I didn't feel full or feel the "restrictions" the sleeve imposes. For me it changed as soon as I moved to pureed foods.

Plus, my doc considered Jello a clear liquid. Which it is, as soon as it hits your body it liquefies!

Soft foods are when you'll realize how restrictive that sleeve really is - I couldn't eat much more than a scrambled egg in a sitting for more than a year.

      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?
