I've noticed that when I'm getting full I get a runny nose. Have you felt anything like that? My friend says she sneezes when full. Weird this never happened to me before the surgery.

I'm glad it went well. I was anxious to hear how it went. What does the 34 mean? Did he not take the 80% off the stomach? Did he examine you or just answer questions? Sorry for all the questions I don't see my dr. Till Friday.

I noticed this happening a couple times and didn't really pay attention to it until I payed closer attention and yup it only happens when I'm full.

Hope you feel better.

That sounds sooooo good! I still can't have anything that is not pureed.

Omg! I don't know what happened. I was eating a popsicle and all of the.sudden I felt pressure on my chest almost like a balloon going up my throat but painful, the pressure was bad and then burping and pain close to the heart... Was that heartburn? I'm scared. I walked around.burned and it went away.

Yea I think I over did it with the pills and protein... I thought I had waited a ling time before I had the popsicle. Thanks. I was sleeved on the 13 th.

When was your surgery?

You know you are right. I actually took all my vitamins at once. I'll slow down or at least take them thru out the day. Do you still get that feeling when you eat? I hope we don't experience this again it's scary. I thought it was a heart attack.. thank God it passed.

I drank my protein and took my pills. I'll be out 2 weeks on Thursday. Should I be concerned?

While I was eating it. I had taken a sip of water then started eating the.popsicle

I felt the same way just to learn it was head hunger. It will go away. Drink your fluids.

How is everyone doing this morning? I went to work yesterday and wasn't so bad.

I'm with you um 165 and wear a 14 in pants. We are just built differently. Hang in there ad long as we feel good and look good the clothes size shouldn't really matter. We will get down, slowly but we will.

Maybe I'll try the crystal light. Sound better than plain water.

OMG! I just realized that I don't like the taste of plain water. Which is weird cause before surgery I would drink up to a gallon of plain water a day. The taste makes me almost throw up. What I've been doing is I make tea and drink as much possible. Wow never thought I wasn't going to like water. Is anyone going thru the same thing?

My surgery was on the 13th. I see the surgeon on Friday and I hope he advances me to the next stage. I've been good not cheated once so you can imagine how I feel. Lucky you that you are already on stage 3. I guess all dr.s are so different.

Boy I have to say I've been struggling with head hunger as well. But last night my lil family and I went out to dinner with some friends and I was tempted to order mashed potatoes, but instead I had turkey broth. I thought I was gonna die if I did have real food but then I thought to myself that there will be plenty of time to eat what I enjoy. I was a big chicken to try anything that is not on my full-liquid diet. I'm afraid of having complications, I hear we can get leaks even after we are released from the hospital. I am in hopes that I progress to the 3rd. stage Kaiser offers by Friday. I'll be 2 weeks out on Thursday.

For the past 2 days the tip of my tongue feels numb. Wonder what this could be. Any of you experience this?

Yes drink too much or to fast will cause pain. I do real good if I drink tea. If I want water I'll heat it up just slightly and that does the job.

It took 3 month for me. I was suppose to be in the hospital over night but has some small issues and stayed 4 days. I feel good now, like everyone struggling with head hunger but feeling well. Where are you having yours done?

How are you preparing your home for your return from being sleeved? Are you freezing meals for your family? Do you plan on having someone help you, if so for how long? What about food, liquids, shakes for yourself? I have a month before my surgery but these are all the things that I worry about. How are you handling this. Thanks..

I tried the egg soup and my tummy started hurting. Good luck.
