Im so thirsty all the time but I can't seem to get my liquids in. I can only take a few sips and then i feel horrible pressure on my chest. I wish I could just chug a huge glass of ice water! Even my protien drinks take me a while to get down. I was sleeved 2/14/13. Anyone else experience this? What should I do?

Sleeved 2/14 Down 43lbs

I have really long thick hair and I've noticed the past few days just a few hours after a shower its really greasy at the roots. Is this like a hormone thing related to surgery? Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks everone for your input!

I've been down too; I swear if it wasnt for this app, I might've lost my mind already. It really helps to hear from others going through this. My husband tries to be susupportive but he really has no idea. I was sleeved the 14th and honestly was not as prepared for this life change as I thought I was. I know that my 23lb loss is great, but Ive already platoed for like 4 days and feel like I should be down another 10 by now atleast! I mean really i'm not eating like anything!!

Hi. Im a new member. I had my vertical sleeve on Valentine's Day. So i guess I am 10 days post op. I have a lot of questions. At my 1 week appointment I had lost 18 pounds. I am now down 23 pounds. I haven't lost any weight in three days. I kinda feel on my own as far as diet goes. I got no real instruction on to how much of anything I should be consuming. I was just told to start on creamy liquids. Like soups ,milk, Puddings and things like that. I know im not getting in enough protien.? What should I be eating? How much liquids? For 3 days i had really bad diarrhea. Is that normal? Im also experienceing some new pain what feels like its under my rib cage. Is that normal? Healing pain maybe? Can anyone help?

So I was embarrassed to ask my surgeon. BUT.... How soon is to soon to start doing IT again?

Thanks ladies!

Im seriously scared of developing ulcers im my new little tummy. Is it really true that Advil or IB proufen cause them? Im alergic to asprin, Tylenol never neally did the trick for me. I haveva killer headache, whats safe?

Hi. I'm also from NJ and would love some local buddies who are experienceing the same things as me! My surgeon was Dr Noyan I was sleeved at centra state on 2/14.

Im Pretty sure it depends on the surgeons approach and the patients quality of health. I only had to do a 1 day liquid diet as well. Im 10 days post op and down 23 pounds!! Good luck to you!!

I hear you! easier said than done! I'm not supposed to be lifting my son but he dose not understand why mommy wont pick him up. and I feel like I'm constantly picking up toys, I've been drinking the Muscle milk protein drinks but it takes me all day to get them down. How do you like the Premier protein? have you tried any others that you like? I cant stand the Isopure. Thanks again for your help Laura!

Hi! How are you doing? Are you having pain on your left side too? I am currently a stay at home Mom so I did not have to take any time off of work. I'm just still not allowed to workout or lift my 18month old. How are you doing with your diet?

Thanks Laura! I figured the pain was normal. How long did it last you? I am defiantly not getting anywhere near the protein or water intake I need so I need to address that.
