Long story short...sleeved march 5th 2013...12 weeks out, 55 lb lost, and I'm in agony dang near EVERY day. Going for my 4th egd with dilation Tuesday...have stomach strictures, now gerd and ulcers from the constant vomiting. Have been hospitalized 4 times since surgery for dehydration because my stricture won't allure anything to stay down...no food...no liquid...i haven't eaten in weeks...i want my life back...dr. talking splint or revision surgery...i regret having this sleeve done every day. I'd rather be fat. That just the honest truth.

Ok I'm 4 weeks post op...my stomach still feels so small...i can't eat more than 2 bites of anything and then i still sometimes throw up...I'm all for smaller portions and I've lost 30 pounds but WHEN will my stomach stretch enough to actually eat something? At this point, I'm wishing I'd never done this to myself...if i could just eat even a half a normal sized portion of anything I'd be happy...when does this end?

Thank you...114lb...that's awesome...I'm just very frustrated...this is just way more than i bargained for i think...

Things are looking up...getting misty of my fluid and protein...sleeved march 5th, down 18 lb as of this morning I'm afraid to advance my diet cause i like losing 2lb a day...may stay on full liquid diet a little longer

Help...I'm one week post op, only lost 12 pounds...I'm starving, starting to mourn the loss of food...thinking about what i could be eating if i had not done this....the thought of never being able to eat the 4 courses at my favorite restaurant, the melting pot, again...EVER....or eating much of anything ever again...has me depressed...thinking to myself, omg what.have.i.done. This is irreversable...this is my life now...almost makes me want to cry. I know this sounds so lame..but i love food...what can I say?

So I'm in the full liquid diet phase...I know we can eat cream soups strained... I'm wondering can that any kind of soup strained of any chunks? Like broccoli cheese soup without the broccoli? Or only "cream of" soups. Is, cream of chicken,mushroom, etc

Thanks guess I'm just anxious to get this going:)

So when i checked in day of surgery,3 days ago, i weighed 245. When i left the hospital today i weighed 251...gained weight from iv fluid i guess...I'm discouraged because I'm reading other peoples posts who have already lost 10+ pounds just a few days post op....im heavier than when i went in! Anyone else go through this and how long did it take you to start seeing real results?

I was sleeved the 5th also...I'm still in the hospital from minor complications but should be going home today...I've gained 13 pounds since I came in the hospital...I'm assuming from all the iv fluid...I hope it goes away quick... uh m ready to see some results

Has anyone had bradycardia post op? Was sleeved Tuesday, My heartrate is in the 40s and has been since surgery??

Yes I've made my dr and nurses aware..no one seems to think it's s big deal but me...my bp is ok...running 95-105 systolic...also my oxygen stations are dropping and am now requiring oxygen...don't understand what's going on...

Hi everyone...i was sleeved yesterday...surgery went well...quite a bit of pain though...I'm having to stay an extra day because IM having trouble keeping any fluids down...

Hello everyone, thanks in advance for your help...I'm getting sleeved on Tuesday. I'm supposed to have been on an all liquid diet for 2 weeks now...nothing but carnation instant bfast and sf popsicles. I have cheated several times, I've lost about 4 lb and am starving! I'm scared that my liver won't shrink enough and surgeon will get in there and see my liver and not do the surgery...I'm 5'4 and weigh 240....did anyone else cheat on their liquid diet and what happened come surgery day?

Thanks everyone! This is so hard but I'm so excited for Tuesday...thanks for the words of encouragement

No, I've never been told i have a fatty liver...i was just told that was the purpose of the liquid diet, to shrink the liver for surgery...i know alot of people have no pre OP diet at all...except for clears the day before...that's why I'm wondering if it's a big deal
