Feb 2017 sleevers - how's everyone doing post-op?

[Olypie 41]

I was sleeved February 8th. Been experiencing diarrhea and nausea multiple times a day, every day for a week.

Is this normal as you progress your diet to normal foods?

Have you told your doc about the diarrhea? That;s a big red flag, especially if it's happening all day, every day.

I'm still on liquids, so I cannot tell you if this is normal during the progression, but it's not normal overall and you have to talk to your doc.

Hi everyone! Feb 21st was my surgery. I'm trying puréed now but it's been a bit uncomfortable. eggs seem to be the best for me. I seem to have gas 24/7. Gas x strips help but I think I could belch all day. Anyone experiencing this?

Hello all....Sleeved Feb 20th. Everything is going down well, seem like to well. If I didn't have the belly soarness I would swear nothing was done. I have that back pain as well. Have no idea what causes it but it comes and goes. My only problem is some Constipation. Nothing a little MOM can't fix or Dulcolax.

I read some surgeon cut 2-4oz stomachs and some 6-8oz which is why some lose more than others. I can say mine is not the 2-4oz because I can eat a full cup of yogurt or drink 4-6oz in one setting. Has anyone ever heard that?

Hello all! I was sleeved 2/28. I am feeling better, only having mild tummy pain when sitting up from a bed or chair. I am going on regular walks and enjoying Greek yogurt on my full liquid diet! My favorite Protein Shakes are Premier Protein or muscle milk banana creme.

I am 12 days post op and down 18 pounds from surgery. I am so grateful for my new tool!

I was sleeved on the same day. No pain, no problems whatsoever. I did experience some Constipation which Miralax resolved and some gnawing "hunger" pangs which Gaviscon helped with. I am following the program to the letter and have BARELY lost five pounds since surgery. You're doing very, very well. Congratulations!

I was sleeved on the 9th. I have not had any of these symptoms. I do know my surgeon told me if I had daily issues to make appointment to see him. I highly suggest you see your surgeon.

Congratulations I was late on that six and I had so much gas I could not even bear it. The first two days pre-op was the worst. I'm still having gas problems when I lay on my left side in my left shoulder. I'm happy that you did not have that problem. Congratulations and I pray for you a speedy recovery. And Speedy weight loss

Now I've been a week from surgery. Pain is much better now. Gas and bloating still a problem. It seems the Protein Shakes cause the most bloating. I'm having a hard time getting them down, but yogurt seems to be okay. Anyone else have problems with the Protein shakes? I've tried several brands and flavors, they all cause it.

Drinking and eating are not the same thing. Wait until you eat food to worry about how big your sleeve is. Liquids go right through.

I was sleeved 2/13 now that I'm on soft food I am full quick. Before I can drink any thing all day and not fill up either
