its not only the embarrassing factor of it. its myself too. i feel like i cant lay down cuz i wont stop burping. its just really agitating to me! then its like i have to stay hydrated so i have to "sip" but the more i sip, the more i burp & the more i burp, the more i get annoyed! its just so frustrating. i mean, of course i want to lose weight but it makes me resent surgery.

idc about thestomach rumbling but the burping is getting out of hand!!!

ughhh!

6 months? omg!!!!! :'(

it really does come out of no where. people look at me like im nasty! its so unlady like.

i dont use a cpap machine so i dont get whats making me burp so much. its honestly embarrassing. i dont like to go out with friends because im burping like a man the entire time non stop! when will it stop

goodness gracious... over a month? i think i burp now more than i did then. its really aggravating.

god bless you & your family! dont give up on your dreams & good luck to you. <3

yay!

i was sleeved dec 20th & i now see why we have to sip because those pains are NO JOKE!!!! but my question is... will we have to sip for the rest of our lives or will we eventually be able to guzzle again?

makes sense. another good question... of course not right away but... what about drinking before & drinking after? like imagine going to a restaurant setting & u have a drink with a meal...will i eventually be able to sip before or sip after?

im praying thats not your case!!! im sorry to have scared you but im not one of those "tell you what it is you want to hear".. i like to be honest and fwd and let people know about things ive seen since maybe u havent. if you know what the insurance company is, go ahead & give them a ring & see what they say! if it is another year, take that year to prep yourself for whats to come. i had a 6 month process and i thought to myself, "omg 6 months is 1/2 a year!!!!" but it fleeeeew! i was sleeved dec 20th. hang in there <3

AMAZING!

why r u guys watering down the mashed potatos? as long as its soft, isnt it ok? lol. i had some today

welcome!! this place will be ur bestfriend for awhile!!! from research that ive done, you may have an issue. ive read before that u would have to be working for the company for a year to get the option to have bariatric surgery. now, that was that persons case so you should check that out. also, you will def need to start seeing ur pcp & as far as referral, u can have ur gyn release ur medical history & have ur primary write the letter. i believe it needs to be from ur primary dr.

im having a lot of pain today. i threw up after taking an antibiotic prescribed by my surgeon & that pain is nooooo F!%^*KING joke! how long was it before you felt some what recovered? like you could bend over with no pain.

wow thats great!!!

i think at this point, i look at shakes like i look at poop. the smell is bad but even if i didnt smell it, i know its still going in my mouth. i haaaaaaaate that i feel this way. but i really do. :/

im going to have to try it out!!

does jay robb have a smell?

im not a fan of chocolates or vanillas so its hard to drink shakes. very hard. im praying to get on mushies soon so i could start getting in some type of nutrients. :/

i am 5 days post op. physically, im good! getting down my liquids. maybe not as much as im supposed to but itsa work in progress. im not taking in Protein because the shakes are just gross! i know... i know! but im being honest. i do plan on experimenting on powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury soon. i do laps around my livingroom coffee table to help with gas. but emotionally, im down! i feel like im complaining all the time & i hate it but its because im so emotional. my usual "friends" barely call or text me. i do have sleeve supporters & im grateful but its not the same. i have my mom here but shes more to herself which leaves me to myself! pre-op, i always read that you need a support system & i never understood it! i always felt like people were just too emotional & just needed to go lay down & take a nap some where! but now... im definitely feeling it!!!! this is an emotional part of this journey that in no way was i prepared for! but im coping! sorry, just wanted to vent.

awww!!! im thankful that i can get my liquids down but the shakes r my enemy!

hey trish! welcome to VST!!!! im glad u made it here. im sorry about your loss but congrats on YOUR new life. im sure your husband would be happy & proud. VST is very supportive & loving. enjoy your sleeve!

it really does take an emotional toll. today i woke up feeling weak. im sipping on Powerade zero for some electrolytes to keep me hydrated. last night, i couldnt sleep much. i tossed & turned all night. pain meds stopped working & i couldnt find a comfortable position. its hard. im pushing through it tho.
