I went through it too!!! Trust me it will get better!!! Those first few days are filled with regret but little by little you will start to feel better. Try to keep up with your liquids intake its very important. in a couple of days I will be celebrating my first month post op!! I thought I'd never get better and I did!!!! Almost back to normal 100%!! (22lbs Down) hang in there it'll get better!!!!

Omg that's so scary!!!! ( god forbid) I'm sorry you had to go through that! But I'm glad everything is better now!

Hey everyone, so I'm 1week and 4days in and I feel so hungry!!! I'm sick and tired of liquids already!! I thought I wasn't supposed to feel hungry.. Does anyone else have this issue?

Aww that sucks!!! I have read there are alternatives for lasagne once you reach the purée stage! Trust me I can't wait to get there! I love applesauce and I can't wait to eat some again lol!!! Little by little I believe we will be able to overcome this, the beginning is always hard! Everything should be getting better soon

Lol! Maybe that's what's going on, but I feel the rumble in there lol!!! It can be mental as well since I haven't had food in over 4 weeks! I can't wait till I begin my purée stage!!! Lol thank you

Yes! That's exactly what it was, because I no longer feel that way! I began to take anti acids and feel better! Thank you

Lol! No I wasn't thinking that At all.. It's just so tough .it probably is all mental but it's driving me nuts! & yes it will pass! Hopefully soon!!! Lol congrats on losing those 42pounds!!!!

Hey everyone! So I finally got sleeved on 09/19 and omg! I can say that those initial 3 days were hands Down the worst days of my life! I'm just so thankful that I am alive and that evrything is ok. No complications occurred , but those gas pains were out of this world!!! I have a question for you all, thankfully I am feeling much much better , but, I've noticed that when I drink I feel very strange inside. It feels warm, bubbly , and somewhat painful , in a matter of seconds it's gone . It feels like heartburn but it occurs right below my breast, not the chest area .I was just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them.. If so, please share some info with me thsnks

Am scheduled to have surgery Tuesday September 4th. But on Thursday I got a call from the receptionist @ the Doctors office saying they have to cancel the surgery because I won't get approved by tuesday! I was confused since i had recieved a letter of approval from my insurance company a month prior to the surgery date and I SHOWED it to them when I went for my preop testing that previous Friday. She said she didnt remember so yesterday morning I re faxed EVERYTHING!!! I got a call from my doctor yesterday afternoon saying he will keep me on his schedule for Tuesday but pushed me back, to be his second case just in case the insurance company approves it that same morning! This uncertainty is driving me crazy!!!!!!! :_( :_(

I am *
