Got A Little Cocky With My Sleeve Today



Recommended Posts

hehehe, just sayin' Try to stick with "slow and steady progress" and do not rush. That said most experiment (once). I did. BOY was that no fun!

When your sleeve says 'no', there will be slimies, and discomfort for a couple hours and nausea and vomiting. SOME FUN!!

Mouse, I have the same experience, especially with scrambled eggs. I don't know why. Keep it to one or two eggs and just stop. You might feel full eventually. (I'm four weeks out.)

Also, your nerve endings are probably still healing so you may not have that full feeling yet.

Woo happy it's not just me. I'm only eating one egg a day.

Six months out and cannot eat any reheated eat unless it's in Soup or a casserole. No way, no how. And cold meat? Nope.

I hear you!

One's not quite enough. Two is pretty much too much, or close. I'm still experimenting. I mean for a while there I completely forgot that I could have one egg, and something else.

Oooh! Oooh! Also, with eggs I can't stand them cold. So I know I'm eating them too quickly. I mean, I'm not chugging them or anything, but I'm definitely not taking longer than 5-10 minutes. More to work on.

Mouse I was exactly like you I felt there was very little restriction.However I am now 3 months out and my restriction seems to be working full force now. It seems as as time goes on I get more restriction. I have a hard time with 4 ounces of soft fish now, where as before no problem. I hope yours works like mine. I am down 51 pounds in 3 months and my Dr says I am above the curve in loss. Yay.

You live and learn! I think it is all part of the process. I do eat slower now and smaller bites. But I too had to learn the hard way as most of us do. Why........Because eating fast and larger bites seems to be a common problem we all have had pre op and need to learn the new way by what else........Trial and error. Best of luck to you!! :)

      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?
