Having trouble swallowing ... I am three months out down 65 pounds however, within the last 5 days I have been experiencing pain when I swallow. It feels like a big lump. Makes me short of breath and nauseated. I have chewed my food to mush but still have troubles. I eat things like beans, scram egg, chicken. Has anyone experienced this? If so what were your remedies?

Ok thank you I am schedule to see him in Friday.

I was sleeved on the 5th but today was the first time I had "issues" with my stomach feeling queasy... I ate the normal stuff that I had been Greek yogurt, string cheese, oatmeal, chicken soup. Not sure what's happening, I'll try again tomorrow. I need to get with aNUT. Havent had the opportunity to work with one. I sttended 1 meeting a week before my surgery and I was given some papers to follow and I followed them to a T but not quite sure what to expect or do from here on out. My nut wasn't very approachable, so I was put off and did all my research on line and thru this site. I think I need to buck up and try to reapproach her. But I am down 40'lbs as of today. Not quite sure if this is the norm, but I am happy with it! It's been years since I was below 400. Day of surgery I weighed 421.9 and today 378.8

Thanks... I'll have to keep eating slow in mind... I was "monitoring" myself and noticed I eat fast. Looking for menu plans not much of a cook, ate out daily so need to be educated. Know where I can get menu plans...

No I am sorry it was the 5th of November, 2012.

What type of pain relievers can I take? I am 4 weeks out .

Thanks all, I went out and bought me some liquid Tylenol. But, also drank more water and the headache seemed to have subsided. Perhaps, I was getting a wee bit dehydrated. Rock on with your weight losses...

How's all the 5th'ers doing? That's November 5ths peeps? I am down 28.1. Feeling mt body changing, need to implement some exercise. But the skin is get loose, not sure if I can handle it.

Definitely a small world... He assisted with mine! How are you doing with the new life changes? I am not too sure if I am eating enough.. Need to see the Nut and get a meal plan.

I was sleeved in Las Vegas on 11/5. I naturally sleep on my stomach but haven't been able to since the surgery. With that being said I am not getting enough sleep but I do realize my stomach still needs a lot more healing. When were you able to sleep on your stomach?

Dr. Atkinson was my Dr. I had it done at Desert Springs Hospital.

I have been having shortness of breath when I shower and get real dizzy. Then when I do something as little as washing dishes my heart beats fast but calms after I sit and rest....

How did you discover your leak?

Slept on my stomach last night. I had the best nights rest since the surgery... Don't remember waking up at all during the night. I feel rejuvenated! It's great to have input from your experiences. Thank you

I too am having the same pain. It's on my left side, not excruciating but nonetheless a sharp pain as if someone is poking me. It's only better when I lay in it to some degree. I try to lay on my back as much as possible but with this pain I often end up on the left side.

I had the similar situation, I was sleeved on 11/5 and I wasn't getting enough water in. So, I was advised to get ice cubes and let them melt in your mouth 8-10 small cups all day long and that will insure your water intake. It seems to be working for me. Hope this helps!

I need help too with my liquids, not sure i am doin this this right way. I am drinking 1 fluid ounce with protein every commercial. Is this too much? I am third day out

Due to be at hospital in less than 1 1/2 hours excited but well rested. Looking forward to a better lifestyle... Can't complain about my life just my size... ELATED!

Yes very nervous on some days others I'm ok! Yikes!

9 days and counting... November 5th is just around the corner... Excited

Yay! I'm on the 5th too... 24 days unbelievable, huh! We can do it!

As I read this post and try to gather as much information regarding my sleeve. Pre-op, Post-op and otherwise, I hadn't read any stories on "morbidly obese" potential or current sleevers.. If your out there, I would like to hear your journey. I am 5'4" and 422 lbs scheduled for my sleeve surgery 11/5. Super excited but scared out of my wits.
