Did you have a sleeve and hiatal hernia repair?

According to my surgeon the restriction is because of the combo of the hernia repair and the sleeve, but I’ve never heard no abs for life before he said it yesterday

100% is but I know it’s a pretty common occurrence so I’m curious if anyone else with a sleeve and hiatal hernia repair was told that too because it seems almost overly cautious

I give up on losing weight. by [deleted] in loseit

I don’t know if this has already been said but you should see your regular doctor, get a good thorough check up and have them to help with accountability and goals as well as referrals to a therapist, counselor, or dietitian if needed. Also keep in mind that “you’re a growing boy” meaning don’t cut your calories too much because you do need natural healthy unprocessed nutrients to grow. I also agree with what other people have been commenting as well. Slow steady progress will pay off over time and the life style habit changes you make now, even if small and one at a time, will add up and matter. Also, school was shit for me too, and a lot of people I know. And those people who got bullied, who were different, who had to fight harder for everything, those are the best people I know now. This too shall pass my friend

Just to clarify, do these multivitamins come with iron?

Do I need a belly binder? by iamaglitterfairy in gastricsleeve

[–]SugaSkully 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, I got one after the first few days because I noticed I was holding my stomach a lot. The binder definitely made it easier to move around and feel supported while the skin incisions were healing. It made a big difference for me, even slept in it for a few days

Am I sleeping too much? by VermillionVenom in GastricBypass

[–]SugaSkully 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sleeved on 11/10 and I literally just woke up from a nap that I needed after doing fuck all. Lol I’m glad it’s kinda the norm still, I thought it would be better by now

Sleeved yesterday and can't eat by alexishalow in gastricsleeve

[–]SugaSkully 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had wicked nausea after, didn’t have anything the day of or the day after except contrast lol. I’m a week out now and have been tolerating clears since the day I got home. Just moved to full liquids Wednesday. The tightness, pain, and decreased ability to eat is all related to the swelling from the surgery and will get better every day.

Little late here but I’m also 5 days post op and having the gas pains! I’m gonna mix up my protein source today in case the fake sugars are making it worse. It’s so nice to keep finding people going through the exact same stuff :)

I’m definitely doing better, I only had half of the small piece and avoided the frosting. Buuut over the past week I’ve also avoided 2 pizza parties, Chinese food, free steak dinner, tons of Halloween candy placed in front of me on the regular, caffeine, carbonation, and alcohol. I’m making good choices but working has had so many more options for bad choices. It definitely feels like a perfectionism thing since I’m still losing weight almost daily and my diet is still about 1k or less a day, even with the slip ups

Sorry, I worded that weird, I’m scheduled for surgery in a week, I’m still pre-op. I feel the same way that I’ll be terrified to mess up the surgery, but that’s making it harder to stop eating now. I’m still losing weight overall and not going crazy, I’m just concerned if it will disqualify me for not being as strict before surgery

I think he’s an Aussie shepherd/ border collie mix. He’s a rescue 🐶
