@@Skinny Steps I know the feeling. I was saying in the hospital room "I made a huge mistake". Now I am 18 days out and feel completely normal now. I have little moments where my stomach spasams but that is going away. I promise you will feel better soon. The first week was just "YUCK"

I have heard of this before. I dont know why this happenes. The only thing i could think of was losing weight in your feet. Its just a theory.

@@Babbs I love Babbs!

Prilosec is the only thing that works for me.

@@stacy458 Very cool. I am glad you feel better. Its always nice to know that things are normal.

It gets so much better. You are still dealing with the anesthesia. Once that is out of your system things will be back to normal

I brought something to wear home...PJ's and I didnt use anyhting else. I brought a tablet for my mom to use while she was waiting but honestly, I needed nothing.

@@sharonintx I'm proud of you. What you truely did was set an example by being the wonderful you are. Always be the one that smells like a rose.

Its the most under-rated instrument of all time. I instantly become happy playing it.

playing ukulele and crocheting

Im so excited for you! Keep us updated. You'll do great.

@@stacy458 Yes, To me it felt like a spasm. It still happens once in a while but not as bad. I kept feeling like it was hunger. Very strange feeling. Then came the acid stomach. If you do start getting acid stomach call the nurse right away and get something for it cause it will wake you up at night.

Awesome!

Yes. Contact your insurance company and ask them the requirements though. Any insurance requirements I have read say that if you have a BMI of 35 and under you must have atleast 2 comorbities. You can even google that information for your insurance company.

I have one video and will be posting a new one on Friday. I havent posted in a month but it was before my surgery. So unbesleevable is the channel. I promise to start posting frequently

I know the feeling. It was so freaking hard. I was so tired of clear liquids and the sugar substitute. I wasa getting this gross foamy sweet crap in my throat all the time. I got to a point I didnt want anything anymore. I was upset and angry about not being able to get full. This was just my experiance. I am sure it is different for many others but now being over 2 weeks out i am finally feeling better. I feel your pain and soon it will be over with. i promise. Just follow the program and focus on hydration.

I havent seen it but I stopped watching "reality tv" years ago. I cant stomach the scripted crap. The reality of "reality tv" is they needs ratings so they set it up so you keep watching. People love watching train wrecks and that is how the show makes their money. The best thing to do is turn it off and tune it out completely. I like positive uplifting stories about people that have overcome lifes struggles and I also cant stand the fact that people make money off of other peoples hardships for the sake of entertainment.

My mother has UHC choice plus and is trying to go through the process to get approved. What were your requirements?

@@LisaPunkinHead Oh my gosh! The Pizza! Is it just me or do you now notice that we are bombarded with pizza everywhere we go? I never realized how much influence pizza has on us until now.

I know how you feel. I had my surgery on the 10th. I have just been trying to keep my eye on the prize. I am not giving up and i will not allow myself to fail. You will be fine. Once we are eating regular food we will feel satiated. i get 90g of protein a day and sometimes i need more than liquid in my stomach. I feel the grinding of hunger and it sucks but I know that once we are allowed to really eat that will go away. You are in my thoughts. I feel your pain. Keep your head up.

Speaking from my experience, I felt terrible right after surgery but that was because of the morphine. I then received toradel and I was fine from then on. I am 2 weeks out and don't even feel like I had surgery. I am also surprised at how much liquid I can have in my sleeve. I barely have restriction and when I'm full I lose the desire to continue eating unlike my old stomach. Good luck.

Same boat. I know how you feel. Soon it will be a distant memory.

Oh by the way I was 3 lbs heavier yesterday and 4lbs lighter today, That goes to show you the scale is a big comedian.

Today is my 2 week anniversary too! I have also been losing steadily. I was at a stand still a couple days ago but that changed quickly. I took my measurements and i have lost 9 inches all over so far. Dont worry about the number on the scale as much as you can feel the difference in your body and clothes. I have noticed less pain in my back and I can sit indian style without my big belly being in the way.

I like them. They are good for a crunch. I have not had them again since my surgery. I have a while before I'm allowed to eat them but when i tried them they werent that bad.
