3 week out.. Wondering mind....



Recommended Posts

Hello I'm 3 weeks out and I'm wondering what are some food restrictions down the line. Of course this is a lifestyle change but just wondering will ever be able to eat a potato chip or frozen yogurt. Wondering if anyone who has has the sleeve has experienced dumping?

No, no dumping. Sliming, yes, but no dump. And yes, sadly perhaps, you will be able to eat chips and frozen yogurt without any problems. (other than self-sabotage)

That's the beauty of the sleeve, you will likely not have any food restrictions at some point. Lots of people report difficulty with different foods. Me....not so much. My sleeve will tolerate anything. Well, not that I've tried everything, but I've not yet come across anything I cannot tolerate. Makes it a slippery slope so I have to be vigilant about what I permit into my regular diet.

Experienced sliming, dumping and throwing up!!! Don't like none of them. I know that I am sleeved tight, meaning that I am six weeks out and still can't eat very much. An example is that I was only able to eat six small shrimp for supper. Nothing with it, just the six shrimp. The sliming and dumping was due to me trying to eat something that was very spicy! I have found that is a no-no for me. Also, certain foods no longer appeal to me or they have a different taste than before I was sleeved. Weird how this procedure affects all of us so differently. Best of luck!

I'm 8 weeks out and can only eat 3 shrimp. It's hard for me to eat other meat too. It's just too heavy on my stomach.

      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?
