    Need Positive Encouragement

    I think those feelings of unease are quite common after major surgery. I had a major drop in BP after my surgery and was convinced it was lights out for me. I was very happy to wake up in ICU a couple of hours later. The next day I was given more blood and couldnt control the feeling of dread whilst that was happening. Move forward a couple of days and I then had breathing issues. It sounded like I was hiding a mouse under my pillow. Again it was hard to control the feeling of fear and dread and doom. All these things are normal after major surgery. The GA and the procedure combined with the VLCD play havoc with your emotions. We tend to second guess what we have done especially as it was an elective surgery. But like most things this will pass. Make sure you are getting in your fluids. Take your vitamins. Take your prescribed meds. And if you have any real concerns call your medical team. Now if only I could shake this pesky light headed feeling.............

    4.5 years, water still an issue!

    Sadly, even 4.5 years post op I am STILL unable to stomach drinking plain H2O. This is an issue for many post op. I'm using sugar free powerade, unsweet tea, 'stir ins', any form of lemon/lime I can find, and a few other options. Anyone else here affected?

    Mouth Noises

    This has nothing to do with weight loss or surgery or anything. I'm self diagnosing here... I'm pretty sure I have something called Misophonia, which, according to WebMD is a "disorder in which certain sounds trigger emotional or physiological responses that some might perceive as unreasonable give the circumstance". Certain noises DRIVE ME NUTS! I can't stand mouth noises in particular. Mouth noises are lip smacking, throat clearing, loud chewing, etc...... It's the worst!!!! Of course, a coworker does all of these things, so I feel insane right now! UGH!!! I wish I could just not let it bother me, but that's not how this works.

    Passing Gas

    it's not a universal problem. I've never had issues with it. Some do, some don't. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones!

    Mouth Noises

    I'm the same way. I have to keep some background noise going on whenever possible.

    Try listening to music while you are working so you cant hear it. Good Luck

    Yes, I started 225 in March now I'm 120 doing the same as you, but sometimes I can't eat much. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

    I found sugar free hot chocolate or bariatric hot chocolate was a lifesaver when I couldn't drink water. Sugar free water flavorings help too, but beware the laxative effect!

    Water makes me sick at night?

    I find putting in a lime helps me heaps, and also sugar free cordial if it is days that I'm really struggling to drink. I have had to change my drinking habits completely as i was one who would skull water and drink at night heaps too. so my body is not interested drinking on 'my' terms at sipping so these things are helping me a bit
