  1. 2 years have passed since you registered at VerticalSleeveTalk! Happy 2nd Anniversary carlouv!

  2. Thanks for all replys and the help, I will definitely talk to my doctor about it again. Everytime I ask him he seems to think its normal. I take the calcium citrate chewables and they are 250 mgs each so to take 3500 mg a day I have to take 11 of them. I wish it was just 2 a day but I am just following doctors orders. Oh well I will take some of things here in to account and try them out. I am praying that it works. Thanks again for all the help and I feel a better that I am not alone in this
  3. Hi everyone, I was sleeved about 7 weeks ago and from day 1 I have felt sick. Its nausea all the time. For the first 3 days after coming out of the hospital I was throwing up all day and now its just the nausea feeling I get every time I have to drink my Protein shake, I do 3 a day because thats what my doctor told me to and I am taking an army of pills, I take 2 Iron pills, 2 Vitamin D, 3 Multivitamins and 11 Calcium citrate pills a day! the doctor said I have to drink 3500 grams of it so that totals 11 pills, and on top of that I have to take 2 omeprazole for acid reflux as well! I just feel like its too many pills and I just cant get enough Water in me. Try as hard I only do about 50 oz a day and even that makes my tummy feel sick. I have started to eat soft foods and that doesn't make me hurt and it actually makes my tummy feel better. I also have a real hard keeping down the Protein shakes, I have tried so many different flavors and none have worked! On the plus side I have lost about 38 pounds and I am very happy about that, I guess I am just ranting cause I didn't think it was going to be this hard! If anyone has any ideas on what protein shakes worked for you I would appreciate it or just any advise please I am desperate.
  4. thanks for the heads up, I am still not able to keep anything down and that includes my supplements, I also cant drink enough water to keep my hydrated. I hope it goes away soon
  5. Ok so I had my surgery dont 2 days ago and now I am not so much in pain when I have to drink something. When I drink anything hot or cold I get this really hard pain on the top of my abdomen and it doesnt go away till I burp a little. Is this normal? did anyone else have this happen to them? and when will it go away? anything you can guys can tell me to help me out a little cause I am miserable and my doctor wants me to drink at least 80 oz of water/ juice per day but its hard to do with all the pain that comes along with it. Please help anyone

  7. Hi everyone, I am having my sleeve put in in 2 days. I am so nervous about it and cant stop being nervous. I have been on a liquid diet for 8 days now and even though it was hard I toughed it out. I am looking forward to my new life and cant wait to start losing all this extra weight. Thanks to this sight I have an idea of how it will be and I know it will not be easy but I am ready for it. Can anyone give me any ideas on what things to take on my overnight bag? Anything will help and any kind of support will be appreciated. Wish me luck:crying:
