A temperamental sleeve?

[nails211 17]

Ok so I'm a Halloween sleever so just about a week post op and I can't drink anything unless it's heated like it has to be warmed up! Has anyone else had this issue and did it change? I really want to eat a popsicle lol!

I would get really bad heartburn the first week when I would drink anything too cold. I can't speak for everyone, but I'm 2 weeks out and that isn't an issue anymore.

It is moody... 6 1/2 weeks out. Hang in there.

Normal. Try herbal teas, warm.

I am 3 years out in Dec and now can eat anything, all tastes great.

For me everything has to be frozen or super cold. Anything warm I won't drink it.

I also had that. Room temp worked best for me. Even now, frozen things will fill be up way faster than warm or room temp food. I use that to curb eating sometimes, because at 2 years out, it's pretty easy to eat whatever I want!

What do you mean "at 2 years out, it's pretty easy to eat whatever I want"? Do you mean portion size (as in your sleeve can hold as big of a meal as what you want?) Or do you mean, you can eat any type of food without issue? I'm curious...I'm only 3 weeks out and I was under the impression that I would forever consume small portions for the remainder of my life.

i was really sensative post sleeve. first 2 weeks were a breeze, then bam! heart burn, nausea, sour stomach, dehydration. I couldnt keep anything down not even my Water i had to switch to a sippy cup, but it really did help. Now 12 weeks out i am doing sooooooooo much better.

When I say I can eat whatever I want, I mostly mean I can tolerate just about any and all foods. Things didn't taste right for a long time, but now things tastes like I expect them to. However, almost nothing tastes as good I used to think it did, and I remember that to keep from overeating.

As far as for the amount, that's a relative statement, because I got used to eating very small amounts. I always think I can eat a lot because I can eat more than 4 ounces, like maybe 8-12 ounces, depending on what it is. It is certainly way less than before surgery, but I do wish I didn't have that much capacity. I loved it when I could only hold 4 ounces. I do not think I stretched my sleeve - I've been very careful and followed the rules, but on occasion, I have eaten that much. For the most part, I restrict myself. When I "go off the rails", my sleeve will restrict me, but I can do some caloric damage before it does. If I allowed myself to overeat, I'd gain weight.
