November 2018 Sleevers!?!?

[Miss_Kee 23]

Through all the sickness last week I’m down 5lbs. Does anybody else have any trouble keeping their food down? My doctor told me to take my medicine and my upper gi test came back normal. Maybe my body just ate food now🤷🏽‍♀️

I don't have any trouble with food (sleeved 11/26), still have trouble with liquids though

7 weeks out as of today, and 27lb.s down. Combined with the pre-op weight loss, that is 47lbs.! I am beyond thrilled and I wish I had done this a long time ago.

I am really sorry Miss Kee you have been through the ringer, what did you dr. suggest with your plan? I know that it is common for the nausea to happen for up to three months out so having that Zofran on hand can be helpful! Also, what are you taking daily, Vitamins? do you have to take any type of antacid? what are you eating what stage are you in, your a little over a month out so I am guessing puree or soft foods? what does stay down what feels okay liquid wise? how much food are you putting out for yourself? I know it is a lot of questions, but I would sit down and make a list of foods and liquids you have tried and what is successful and what is not. What it all feels like after. Then I would also make note of what times you are taking your vitamins and what you have eaten already, and antacids and Protein Drinks etc. Your body is still pretty swollen and recovering this early on, and adding to many things at once can set you into a tailspin, always remember one new ingredient a day until you build up what you can have and handle. Remember if you are struggling at your current phase go back a phase for a day or two and try advancing later. Then I would have a talk with your DR. again, your Dr. seems pretty receptive already and willing to try and assist you so that is good. Hugs I know you must be feeling frustrated.

I do have issues with chicken and all types of lunch meat.. it’s super random, but manageable, too. I have lost a total of 53 pounds! 31 since surgery.

so my doc said I need to up it to 60 minutes a day... I am not there yet, currently doing between 30 and 45 minutes, but building steadily since given the green light to start, I did get the fit bit charge 3 and loving it. I also downloaded the fit bit workouts, they are ten minutes some of them... I have bought anything on it, but it is not bad for before my workout. I mainly walk and elliptical. I have Ehlers danlos syndrome so I have to be careful not to dislocate a joint so I am pretty low impact. I am going to start joining in on the neighborhood workout sessions as well, everyone meets up on Saturday mornings and does an hour long workout it is a lot of fun, so I will be excited to get back to that!

Thank you for responding. My team did not give me a workout routine and I didn’t want to overdo it. I went to the gym and 30 minutes on the treadmill I felt weak afterwards but I’m trying to do more each day I go!

I really have been through it. Better days are coming. Im on the soft foods stage. My doctor is amazing. She calls every other day to check on me. One thing I didn’t mention was that when they did the biopsy that they found out I did have H.pylori. My doctor said she doesn’t want to treat it right now so I wonder if that’s causing some of the issues. I’m still taking the medicine they prescribe for heartburn and stuff and I’m doing over the counter vitamins. My nutritionist gave me a list on what to take so I got those one. I think I answered all the questions if not let me know.
