I ate too much (not intentionally) and feel very sick. Food feels stuck in the back of my throat. Will the feeling pass soon or do I have to make myself throw up? Not a good puker

Thanks Starting to feel a little better. First time that had happened. I waited wait too long to eat then ate too fast. Learned my lesson lol

Hi I am an RN working on an inpatient rehab unit at a hospital in southeast MO. I was sleeved 2/28/13. I have been a nurse for 7 years. I also am the nurse educator for our floor and fill in for case management when needed. Love this group!!

I had horrible hunger and head hunger the first 4-5 days after surgery. It scared me because I thought oh no I didn't get fixed!! Lol But my surgeon said I was starving because I wasn't getting in my protein daily and I wasn't I have since been getting in my protein daily and the hunger is GONE!! Head hunger still a little there due to those dratted TV commercials but its getting better too I can't stress enough to get in the protein through foods or shakes. I prefer the soft foods because I'm not tolerating the shakes at all. I also drink part skim part vanilla soy milk a lot to get in more protein. I was down 16.2 lbs one week after surgery and have already lost another 4 lbs. since Thursday...feeling good

Having the same problems with my back. I start in the bed and end up in the recliner to sleep. I'm a side sleeper so this is hard. I have laid on my side a few times but I splint my stomach with a pillow and that seems to help. Others have mentioned a hearing pad for ur back too. Hope you feel better soon

Was sleeved 2/28. Anyone having trouble sleeping? I'm takings pain meds not really in pain during the night but I can't hardly sleep for more than 30 minutes at a time. Getting frustrated But I actually feel better today and am drinking more protein shakes...finally starting to see the brighter side of things

Doing pretty good today I think I've not had gas pain, been walking in the halls , had my swallow test (and no leaks yeah!!) and trying to get my liquids in. That's the hardest part, when the liquid hits my stomach it hurts or spasms. They said that's pretty normal the first few weeks. They did have to do a hiatal hernia repair that I didn't know I had but I'm all fixed up now Looks like I should get to go home this afternoon hopefully. Was sleeved yesterday

Out of surgery. Doing pretty good. Walked the hall twice, drank teeny bit and no gas pain yet (knock on wood), Very tired but pain meds are my friend right now

Will do. We got this!!

Well I'm headed to the hospital in a few minutes to get my sleeve. My surgery is at 7:30 this morning. Even though I'm a nurse and used to surgeries I am very nervous It's hard being on the other side of this and not having any control lol All will go well though Good luck and prayers going out to all those getting sleeved today!! TTYL sleeved and ready for our new journey

My surgery date got moved to February 28th. Anyone else going that day? Getting excited and nervous

Glad all went well I'm being sleeved this Thursday and getting very nervous

Good luck mine is Thursday We are gonna rock this out!!

Wow you look great!! Awesome job How long has it taken you?

Yes ready to get this done and get on our way

Yes we will all do great!! Had my pre-admission testing today One step closer and start liquid diet Thursday.
