Hello every 1 hope all is well i was sleeved on 3/8/11 and i wanted to ask a few questions regarding the after effects of the sleeve 1. is it normal to still have to sip while drinking fluids or should you be able to consume a little bit more 2. is it normal not to be able to tolerate mash potatoes 3 is having indigestion normal at this point (i feel like after every sip i have to burp) also i would like to know at what point will i be able to enjoy food ,No im not saying i want to go to Mc donalds and get a number 2 , i just want to be able to enjoy a meal without worrying about bringing it back up , (not all foods that i eat come back up) i spoke with my doctor in 4/7 for my follow and he told me everthing that im am currently feeling is normal and that i shoukd keed in mind that i just had a major surgery , and with time things will get better HOW I FEEL im feeling as if i shouldnt have done the surgery ,and i feel very depressed he told me i should stop taken the reglan and perscibed me ativan , idont know its just one of those days were i feel down , i come to vs cause i know in some way we all are connected and are family , so i just wanted some imput from someone . my husband was totally againist the surgery he didnt take me to the hospital the day of the surgery nor did he come vist me the 2 days i was in the hospital ... and you shouldnt eveven have to ask if he picked me ( if your wondering no he didnt ) he just waiting to see me vomit ( which he never has) so he can have something to say. he doesnt even acknowldge my weight loss so far ON A LIGHTER NOTE im off all my diabetic medication both pills and insulin as well as my blood pressure medication i went from 254 down to 210 as of today

<br /><br /><br /> thank you so much for you imput hopefully 1 day he will come around but i cant say forsure i will be there , cause its hurts and it plays in my mi d day after day . but like im am learning i need to focus on myself not saying im going to stop doing my duties as a wife cause thats all i know ive been with my husband since i was a teenager so he like the only man i know . but im just going to pray about it .......and what will be will be thank you again for listening to me and offering me your advice i will keep intouch and let you know how this progress /degress..lol

thank you so much you just put a smile on my face

i asked him if he felt threatened by me having the surgery and he said no , i dont want to leave me husband but i refuse to be put down and hear his little remarks about my surgery ....we were scheduled to go on a criuse (family ) the ending of may and once i told him my surgery date 3/8 he canceled the cruise and told me he is not going on a cruise with someone who is going to be throwing up in a bag . as far as his feeling i dont know how he feels what i do know is when i can home that thursday evening he went to work the next day knowing i was not fully capable of caring for y 4yrs old son , so to be honest i dont know . i really dont like holding on to things but ths is something i cant seem to let go . as far as it being a burden on us the surgery was 35,000 and my insurance paid for it i only had to come out of my pocket 10.00

yes he is a big guy , , since ive been home from the hospistal the whole situation plays in my mind over and over again , i mean what type of person does that to his wife he was very nasty about the whole thing , telling me its just a quick fix called me lazy , i mean it was a reall mess ,but through it all i just let him talk and decided not to engage into his nagative conversations cause i knew at the end of the day i was doing it for me , having my eyesight taking away from me for 2 months due to diabetes was no joke and i have a 4 year old . a part of me feels that maybe is just scared and the only why he knew how to express his feeling was with negative talk /then the other part of me feels like drop his butt off at the nearest bus stopp cause he is the devil, i mean really who abandons there wife like that in thier time of need wether you agree with them or not , he didnt take me to the hospital didnt come see me nor did he pick me up told me to find me why there and back and dont use any of the cars that he pays for ...check that out smh

thank you so much for taking time out to reply , sometimes i just fell like i just need to talk to someone who is not going to judge me for the decision that i choose ,im a very private person and dealing with the diabetes reallly took a turn on my body , i lost my eye sight for 2 months cause my sugar was not controlled

thank you so much lisa for your imput , i hope things will get better , i have to just take 1 day at a time
