I agree I was told to wait 30 min after a meal to drink .

I know for me I was short tempered the first couple of weeks but I do believe that was because my hormones were out of wack but then I didnt take crap off of no one as my body adjusted and the weight came off my attude change, my self esteem grew and little things that I use to accept I no longer accept instead of me being invisible one in the one I became front and centered rather I wanted to be or not, so I demanded respect and did not take any more crap off of people. You will level out just remember to stay focus take one day at a time and exercise and sex help me relieve stress in a positive way. Good luck.

I am sorry that you have had so many challenges focus on one day at a time you can do this, never give up. Good luck my friend .

LOL I was the same way right after surgery , my husband and I have always had a great sex life but now its even better he is enjoying the benefits and so am I , with the weight lost I was encourage to try new things and everything has been great. I do not know if age has anything to do with it because I am 44 but I think with the weight lost gone your self esteem goes up, I know mine has.

Congrats on being healthy an welcome to the losers bench. I am glad it is smooth sailing for you remember to sip your water and ice chips and to blow in that machine and walk as soon as you can good luck and welcome to the new you.

I agree with the above statement why would you want to make your stomach bigger the reason behind the surgery is to make it smaller not bigger so that you can loose the weight you already know having a bigger stomach leads to obesity. Please discuss your fears with your doctor I am sure they would agree that you do not want to make your pouch bigger. Good luck.

I agree with the above statement trust in your doctor , they know what they are taking about I crush my pills two months after surgery then I could swallow them hold without any problems, I have a friend who share your same health issues and ignore her doctor and hit the sleeve now she is in the process of getting the rny do yo the sleeve making her gerd worse, I hit the rny and I'm happy I did I did not want to take the risk of experiencing the same problem and I only wanted to have surgery once I am 8 months post opt and loving life good luck , but I personal would listen yo my doctor .

Hi I had high blood pressed, I was a diabetic type 2 and high chloysetrial , the surgery saved my life, after two days after surgery I was taken off all meds and I'm doing great without them good luck just remember to exercise as much as possible and watch your carb and sugar intake .

I agree with the above statement it depends on how fast you loose the weight, where you hold the most weight s well s how your weight was distributed and of course your elastic in your skin. I work out 5 days a week and so far I'm looking great and I have lost 98 pounds so far and I am 8 months post opt. My skin Is handling the lost great so just try to exercise as much as you can and then you will know for sure . I am 44 years old so I think I look great so far lol.

Lol I agree your taste buds changed drama girly I too stock up and the unjury is still untouched now I just drink premiere protein and get the rest of my protein from food .

I'm sorry your husband does not support you but you have to be healthy for you as well as your family, I would take him to the se,one and all doctors appointment if possible then he would see. By no means is this the easy way out, this is a life style changed that is so well worth it because it changes the quality of your life . I am 8 months out and I am loving life you are so worth living for, I explained to my family when they were unsupportive at first how would they feel if I was no longer here oppose to me being here happy and healthy needless to say they got educated and they have become my biggest support system besides my husband and kids, and with the pounds falling off they see the results and how happy I am good luck. Please remember this is a choice that you need to make for yourself to be healthy first then your family good luck .

No ones perfect focus on one day at a time and chalk it up as a well learned lesson .
