Gina, don't worry it WILL get better! I'm 55 and had my sleeve on Nov 6, 2012, and am 3 months out now. I had a rough time in the beginning too. I had two hernias fixed at the same time, and I have Celiac, so can't eat any gluten. I thought in the first few weeks, did I make a mistake, because I felt like crap! All I can tell you is hang in there it will get a little better each day! I have lost a total of 89 pounds now counting my 6 month before diet I lost 50 pounds, and counting 39 pounds post sleeve! I can't wait until this summer to be able to do so many more things than I use to do! Keep on, keeping on!

Great post Cheryl!

Best of luck to you - I am still getting all the requirements together to have the Vertical Sleeve surgery myself. I truly hope that I can feel as positive as you are...

This is exactley why I am doing this. To regain control...not to be in a bikini by summer. For the long haul...thanks for the post.

What an awesome thing for him to say. You are doing great and have a great husband.

Don't be alarmed with all the gurgy noises going on when drinking....it will go away in a few weeks.

Taking a taxative a day or two before is a great help, totally reduced any gas pains for me afterwards. And you'll probably hear this a hundred times, but WALK WALK WALK as soon as you can. Totally helps! Good luck to you!

Ugh I dread my periods. TMI here, but I'm dealing with it right now. I always find I'm a lot tighter the first day or two of my period but by day 3 I'm fine again. Hang in there, you're not alone at all on this one.

Good for you! If it were me though, I'd be putting those cookies somewhere out of sight. I've already told my family that if they bring sweets home, they can't leave them out on the counters for me to see. And the ice cream stays in the downstairs freezer so that it isn't easily accessible to me. With your attitude, you will be a success story. Tonight, you already are. Sleep well.

Dee, this is an excellent post!!!! Since I know exactly what your saying, I have tears of joy for you. So proud of you girlfriend! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo I bet you could get that skinny little ass in bed with CJ and have snuggle time.lol. Really, really happy!
