kisha585 11 Posted November 12, 2015 Hello all! I'm kisha...25 yrs old..just had a sleeve 10/26...down about 28 pounds. Anyway just had a couple of questions for the experienced sleevers out there ???? So I'm wondering how long the gurgling and tightness of chest will happen. I'm currently in the puree and stage and only eating what the doctor has told me to (even though it's been extremely difficult ) and after one bite I get LOUD gurgling and my chest feels tight. It sucks to eat ????..it makes me sad at times.and I sometimes regret my decision. .but thankfully every day gets better (as far as emotions are concerned) sometimes I think I got this surgery too young...but anyways..does this uncomfortable feeling with eating food go away with time? Will I eventually be able to eat without experiencing this? Also...when were you guys able to eat 1 cup of food comfortably? Thanks in advance for your time.

Miss Mac 6,262 Posted November 12, 2015 Miss Tummy sounded like a dinosaur fight for about three months. I was able to eat a cup of food right around one year. At 23 months, that is still my comfort level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted November 12, 2015 I never had the gurgling and the only time I experienced tightness was if I ate too fast. I'm 14mths out and I eat between 3/4 and 1 cup depending on the food. I am simply no longer interested in large quantities of food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrankyG 1,450 Posted November 12, 2015 I'm about 11 months out and able to eat close to 1.5 cups at a sitting. The gurgling has not gone away however and I was told it might be permanent. I'm fine with that tho since it's a minor thing compared to where I was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kisha585 11 Posted November 15, 2015 Thank u everyone. I hope that the gurgling does go awat. It's extremely uncomfortable and makes me not want to eat or drink anything! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TammyDTM 391 Posted November 16, 2015 I am almost 9 months out and I can eat about 2/3 cup of food like spinach or broccoli florets, but only about 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, Beans, or Greek yogurt. I can eat 3 to 4 ounces of lean chicken and fish. I can eat about 2 1/2 ounces of steak and roast beef. And my stomach talks all of the time! Very embarrassing at times! I just laugh at it!

fldianna 8 Posted November 17, 2015 I had my surgery 10/28/15, 28 pounds that's impressive. I'm down 20, and I have the same issues. I don't feel like I'm eating enough, but it's all I can handle. I have no regrets. Hope you feel better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
