  1. And I'll sound like a crazy person, but I regret the sirgery at the current time. I wouldn't, if I could figure out how to manage this hypoglycemia. I feel like I'm going to just pass out and I am supposed I get the kids ready for school. I'm only 9 days out so I can't just whip up some cream of wheat. And how he heck do you STILL get your 64 oz liquids with all the waiting? I feel like I'm living by the damned clock and like I could pass out at any minute. At this point, I can see the future. It looks pretty good. But right in this very moment, the one where my tummy feels right because it didnt agree with something, it's been an hour and I don't think I'll be able to fit in Water now because its throwing a temper tantrum. My entire existence is sleeve. My temper is short, I have SIX children to care for. I'm failing that and I am scared of his hypoglycemia. How do I get it under control? So today? I regret it. At least this afternoon I do. Never thought I'd say that. Please hug me, send prayers etc. I keep crying (hormones I know) and I feel weak physically and psychologically.

    I hate to admit it

    Okay, I hope I'm not speaking too soon, bit I THINk Ive reached a small turning point. I seem to be feeling good after eating this fudge sickle (thank you fudge sickle, for filling my My tiny tummy a little bit) and I've felt really good today. It got warm outside and I hear the children playing out there because the windows are open. <3. I see the light.

    Lying about Weight Loss Surgery !

    I don't know how I'm gonna handle this as I'm only 12 days out. I really REALLY don't want my in laws knowing and thy know a lot of people so of I tell anyone it's gonna get back to them. Basically I'm not a big small talker and I don't feel like answering a billion and one questions about it umpteen times to people I dont even know.

    My liquid multi has alcohol?

    Post op march sleevers

    Soon2bmzthin, you still reading? Please tell me how you're doing? I'm sorry we never got to go to Walmart, I was just so tired and Pam had a migraine. I was sleeved march 2nd and my biggest problem is the acid. I just can't get it under control. I've had a couple crying spells, which is hormones and life both. I have 6 young children to care for and some days I wonder what the heck I was thinking, doing this when they still need mama so much. When I wake in the morning I feel so weak and I really have no choice bit to get them ready for school am get the little 2 fed and diapers changed. Sigh. Thank goodness for glucose tablets. I'm actually drinking "regular" drinks instead of low cal, drs orders. Fine with me, I HAVE to have energy. As long as I have a little protein in my day, it seems to be working for me. This is just plain hard!? Did any of you feel as if it would be easier than this? I'm not craving specific foods, I just feel like I need substance in my tiny tummy. My stomach hurts near constant from what I'm going to call hunger. Not head hunger, bonefied HINGER. maybe it's acid bit it feels like hunger and I feel like I'm starving.

    regret?

    I lost 11 lbs my first week and thought that was great, so... I'm a week and a half out and I have thoughts lily these. Fortunately they are temporary and i can think rational after that. I LOVE food. but that's stupid. My love if food is what got me to this point. So I also HATE FOOD. because I have no self control over it. These first few weeks are hell. I'm having a hard time getting my liquid in and I've had to go back to Clear liquids because shakes hurt My sleeve. No sense in regret. This is where we are and we gotta soldier on. It will get better.
  11. amytug

    This is it!

    Same. Lissa, what did you do? I can't stand the unjury Protein. Everything is sweet, Gatorade, Vitamin Water, chewable antacids, Iron, glucose tabs. I have to choke everything down.
  12. Also, if you forget once and have the pain I did, you'll likely NEVER EVER do it again. And I'm still on liquids. "/ I had a tiny amt of cream of chicken Soup and turned around and drank something out of habit. I got the heart attack feeling too. I'm actually still recovering, 2 days later.
  13. It's the famous 3rd week stall. I've seen it mentioned. Very common. Chin up friend, the weight WILL come off. And 16 lbs the first week is crazy!!
  14. Dr. Put me on 60mg dexilant for a ppi today and it isn't helping. Does it take a while to kick in? Nothing wants to stay down or when it does it hurts and I feel like I'm going to vomit. I'm going back to Clear Liquids for a day or 3 to see if that helps.

    Oh! The acid!

    A week or so!? I'm positive I'll die before then. Hissyfit

    I'm having a hard time too. Actually went to the er last night and found out I can't eat any fats (cream of chicken soup) because my pancreas is having a hard time with it right now. Sigh This too shall pass

    I hate to admit it

    Thanks for reaching out friends. I really dislike being the whiner and really never thought I would be, but I guess noone is immune. I KNOW I will get better and I'm positive that I'll live my sleeve once I'm in a better place. I'm just scared. Especially with not getting my fluids in now because sleeve is aggravated. I get migraines fast when I don't drink enough. I do not need a migraine. Sigh. Hopefully things will look up tomorrow. And I'm going to have dh get glucose tabs after work tomorrow. Thanks again. (Hug)
  19. I'm beat. My body is exhausted. My mind is slow. Others (not that I'm comparing, of course, and uh. Stuff) around as far out as me have crazy clean all the things energy and I want mine!! I eat good. Get plenty if calories, try to get my Water and Protein in..... Vitamins. Ps- I'm not complaining. At all. I'm thrilled to be finally ridin the sleeve boat.
  20. I'll wait til a good sized group of people raise their hand and I'll share. It's pretty gross and I'm thinking "buh bye"
  21. Thank you for all the replies ladies and gents. Laura, I wish I could. I have a toddler to chase and a preschooler at home. I WILL NAP today if I have to tape them to the wall. (they actually nap at 1 and I'll be with them) I woke up late this morning because I just. Could. Not. Wake. Up. Doesnt help that I was up for an hour in the night drinking Water and a little juice for hypoglycemia. I was cranky had so little energy. It's like I'm only getting 300-600 calories or something. . I cried a couple times just wondering how the heck I'm gonna do this for another month. I'm not just tired. I feel like everything is heavy, Kwim? I knew this wasn't gonna be easy bit I have to say its at least 5x harder than I expected. Still don't regret it. I'm only 9 days out now, butter. Send some prayers my way ease.
  22. I think I have to stop them for a few days. . I think my tummy doesn't like them yet. They do feel heavier and that doesn't bother me so much but sleevy just grumbles and rumbles and tries a temper tantrum. Or maybe I'll do only one a day (I don't even drink the whole thing) and see if that makes it better. Sigh, I'm not sure what to do. I love my drinks and I like feeling like I actually ate something. Woe is me Edit to add: I'm 1 week out today, started them on day 5. Had permission to start them day 4. The chicken broth powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury does NOT tickle my fancy and the unflavored, I add a TINY amt to my G2. I don't need to go getting weak. I has stuffs to do.

    Regrets

    Or duodenal switch
  24. This is against the grain but I'm actually juicing (and still straining) leafy greens, fruits and veggies all together to make a green drink. It's about all i can stand. Gatorade is so fakey, don't like Jello, never have. Protein drinks are ok, I'm drinking a room temp premier for lunch but still juicin for bfast and dinner. Powdered Protein drinks tick me off. If you shake them in a shaker they separate. If you blenderrr them they turn to froth. I'm putting them up for a whole and I'll try again in a few months. Oh plus most of my samples say things like "do not take I'd you are pregnant or considering, etc" and I'm thinking that doesn't sound very healthy.
  25. Which should I get if I can't. Move?
