I had the sleeve done 3 years ago and I keep having issues with eating. I have days where I have to go throw up everything I eat minutes after I eat it. It’s so bad this time around that I can’t even sip on Water. Nothing is staying down. Does anyone have this issue? What helps this?

I am not quite 3 years out and only have issues if I overeat dense foods (like chicken).

I would suggest calling your surgeon and getting checked out immediately. Something doesn't sound right.

When my gallbladder went to **** earlier this year, the only signs I had was that I couldn't keep anything down, including Water. Was just nauseous and vomiting everything back up.

I am four weeks post op and really having a hard time. Can eat, can't eat. Can drink some days, some days I can't. I've started to vomit this week with foods that are okay for my stage but I will also vomit what I drink. My incisions hurt sometimes and sometimes they don't. Bending over picking things up bothers me but I have to ignore the pain and keep moving. The foods that I should not be eating don't make me vomit. Peanut Butter crackers or Pasta stays down crystal light fruit punch causes me to vomit. Crystal light tea is okay as well as hot cocoa. I'm tired and stressed from trying to eat right and it is coming back up. Dr. tells me to go back to liquid diet but I'm hungry.

I'm 8 weeks out and now that I'm on soft foods it's a real challenge to figure out things that work for me. Crumbled sausage is ok but patty sausage is horrible. Same with ground beef, a hamburger patty cut up into tiny pieces was torturous but ground beef in chili is fine. I can also tolerate carbs pretty well but avoided them because I was made to think they were the devil. The only thing that helped me break a stall was adding some carbs, now that I regularly incorporate carbs my belly isn't as temperamental and I haven't had another stall. I also doubt you're physically hungry, it's probably head hunger at your stage, I still don't get hungry but my head tells me I am.

Y'all are scaring me...I'm getting rid of a lap band because of the same issues y'all are having with a bypass?

Am I trading one problem for another?

I wouldn't make your decision based on anyone. We all go through things differently and some of us don't go through anything at all besides the normal.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
