I tend to worry about food to a point, but not to the point i do not want to eat. I do, however, fear of getting sick/too full when I am out or will be going out that I stopped eating or ate very small amounts during a meal (1oz). This past weekend I fainted twice! This was after not eating more than 300 calories for about 5 days. This was the first time I have ever fainted in my life, and I never want it to happen again! I was lucky to have been with someone who was able to catch me. I'm lucky that I wasnt alone and hit my head. Our bodies, whether we feel hungry or not, cannot survive on too little food. Of course, just saying you need to eat to live (and lose weight) is easier said than done. I just do not want to see anyone go through the same experience I have had from not eating enough.

Im so glad to hear you had awesome nurses. Congrats on your surgery! I hope you are doing well.

My mother had the bypass surgery about 9 weeks ago as well. Before surgery, no matter her weight at the moment, ran very warm. Since surgery it seems she cannot find enough sweaters and blankets. She recently went back to her surgeon, and the doctor insists that it is common and nothing to be concerned about. The doctor explained that there is still reminants of anesthesia in her body and this is the cause. It sounds odd to me that it could be in her body that long, but maybe this is the case?

Hey I had my surgery on march 4th. I'm 20. To give you a complete honest experience.... It has been a bit tougher than I expected. . I found that a lot of nurses hesitated to give me the pain meds and even tries to talk me out of it. My opinion is that I'm young and they think us youngins just want the drugs (maybe I'm just cynical?). They cannot refuse the meds to you, so just say you want them. Also, I did have a few poor me pity parties at first and may have shed a few tears.... Ok quite a few. But honestly I'm only on day 5 and I feel soo much better and I dont in anyway regret my decision to get sleeved. I hope this didn't scare you because you will not regret your decision. If you have any more questions, just ask. I promise to be completely honest. Good luck! And congrats!!
