Post surgery question



Recommended Posts

Hey all! I am one week and two days out, I had the sleeve surgery. I am still on the liquid diet and I have read from others that they get full of of two spoons of food... I don't exactly feel like this is the case for me. I can have a small amounts of food but I am not getting that 'I am so full I will throw up feeling". Is that normal? Did anyone else feel like they could take in more than they think they could? I am really scared this will hinder my weight loss. I have lost ten pounds during this first week and can't wait for more to come! Thanks!

@@Sapp28 You don't want to get the "I'm so full I could throw up feeling" that's a bad sign. I guess it all depends on what it is your eating. You may just be able to tolerate more food and that's ok if your eating the right things you aren't going to put on weight. It's probably too early out for you to know exactly how you will tolerate "real" food. Just take your time and don't push it. Good luck!

Your nerves are healing and numb. Just take it slow. Trust me, you don't want that "I'm gonna throw up" feeling, but you will get it and you may just throw up, which is absolutely awful. I am almost one month out and the other day I veered off my Protein path and have two bites of a brownie. Did it without even thinking about it. Just popped them in my mouth and swallowed like pre-surgery. Didn't wait a minute in between, just did it. Well, guess what....a few minutes later I was sick as a dog and ended up throwing up. I don't think I will ever look at a brownie with that longing feeling again! From now on, every bite that goes into my mouth I will have to remember to think first, because I never want to throw up like that again. Lesson learned. Think and chew, chew, chew! Good luck on your journey! It's actually pretty cool (aside from the puking). :)

      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.
