Just got sleeve 3 weeks ago



Recommended Posts

I just got the sleeve 3weeks ago my highest weight was 441 when I had my surgery weighed in at 421 after 2 weeks post op I was 390. I have to admit its a little harder than I expected it to be the hardest thing for me is that I'm a big drinker of Water and only being able to take sips drives me nuts I don't get hungry but sometimes I wanna eat what I see other people around me eating but I do have control I just feel at times I'm really tired and don't feel like myself anymore .

You are doing great! One day at a time with the Water...you'll be gulping it down before you know it.

Hang in there. It gets easier and eventually you'll be able to take normal swallows.

As everyone else has stayed, just hang in there, it does get easier.

Just remind yourself when you find yourself wanting something that isn't on your plan that it won't taste very good.

You are doing great!

The unflavored works good for me mixed with a flavor pack like hi-c or lemonade. I try to stay away from adding milk, to keep my calories down. I also do yogurt which gives you about 8-15 grams depending on what kind. sugar free Protein Bars. There's quite a few foods and drinks that'll get you there. You always have the community here to help!☺

It gets easier once you can eat more.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
