I haven’t experienced this. Are you eating enough?

I am having about 600 calories a day. Do you think that is enough?

Hi @acruise28 we were both sleeved on same day, I have lost 24lbs since surgery and I do have low energy levels as well and also eating about 500-600 calories. Dr said it was normal at this stage. I see him again Saturday and they will start me on some exercise and I assume they will ask me to up my intake as I don't see how at this level I can do much at all besides walking. As for now they told me to just focus on getting about 30 grams of Protein a day. Hang in there and keep me posted, I'll do the same.

You are only a couple weeks postop, low energy is the name of the game this early. Took me about 3 months to feel 100%.

Oh, goodness! Did the doctor say how long he/she expects you to need the tube? What was happening before they put the tube in?

I go see him on the 17th to see if my levels have increased enough to take it out, but after my surgery i was just constantly throwing up everything that i consumed even when i tried to do i teaspoon every 15 minutes to the point i started to not being able to keep my Water down he ran so many test and couldn’t find anything til finally he did a scope and seen that the top part of my stomach is cut a little narrow than the bottom so it easily comes back up and i was throwing up so much it inflamed the lining of my esophagus and stomach so that’s why my water started coming back up so he have me some kind of medicine that coats my stomach so i take that before i put Protein Shakes and water down my tube i have had it for 2 weeks now@berry78

      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.

        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!
