I am 4 weeks out also and having the exact same experience! I am so glad to hear that you are too because I was starting to wonder. I burp all the time even just after water and my stomach just makes the strangest loudest noises! My boyfriend keeps laughing at me because you can even feel it! I guess its all part of it! Best of luck!

I am one week and 3 days post op, I am down 15 pounds.

Reading this makes me so happy because I am a week post op and feeling like "how will I ever feel normal again!" But I want this more then anything. Reading that you feel like eat normally makes me feel better. Good luck!

I am a week post-op and Im down 15 pounds and feeling pretty good. I had a little emotional melt down on Saturday night because I just felt frustrated and nervous. It was weird to be at a diner and having to ask for a to go cup for my soup broth. Even tho I feel full, I want food so bad it hurts. I want to bite into something. Im so tired of ice pops, shakes, water, soup... that's been my life for 2 weeks now and to think I need to do it 2 more kills me. I know I can do it but im just a little miserable. Its very hard. But the weight loss helps me to remember what I did this for.

So! I'm 4 days sleeved! Thanks for all the well wishes. I spent 2 nights in the hospital because I just couldn't manage my protein. I didn't throw up or anything but I just couldn't do it, Id fall asleep with the cup in my hand. I felt nauseous. It was hard and I definitely had some "buyers remorse" on Tuesday. I felt horrible once they pulled me off the pain medicine pump. I was allowed to go home yesterday and haven't had pain meds in 2 days. I'm about 75% better, trying not to push myself too much knowing it could set me back more. I'm doing my protein and walking and everything I should be and just hoping for the best results! Good luck all!

So I'm 4 days sleeved. I had it Monday and finally came home last night. It was rough. I had to spend 2 nights because I wouldn't do my protein. I just felt like I couldn't. I felt upset and down and second thoughts really filled my mind. Finally yesterday I pulled myself together and made it work. Now I'm doing my protein and water every hour like I was told. It still isn't easy but I'm doing it. I defiantly had some "buyers remorse" after the surgery, Tuesday was my worst day. But I'm better now. I would say 75%. Hurts to cough. But I'm trying to keep walking and be positive, and most importantly do my protein. Hope everyone else is healing and feeling good.

So I'm at the hospital! In my gown! Nerves are high but I'm ready... Mom and boyfriend are here with me. Waiting on my IV and finishing my registration. 8am surgery! Lets get sleeved!

My surgery is Monday! I'm 6 days into liquids, tomorrow I go to clear liquids. My boyfriend made me very finely mashed sweet potatoes for dinner and I'm so excited! I got ice pops and juice for tomorrow.... Then up at 4:00am on Monday to be at the hospital by 6am! Surgery is at 8am. I am so excited but it's becoming very real. I had to call yesterday to find out what time I needed to be at the hospital, did all of my preop tests and visited with the doctor on Tuesday. My nerves are starting to get to me. I'm trying to just deal minute to minute. I hope everyone's doing well!

Vit c! Lots of water!!

Ok! I am 4 days away from my surgery! I had my preop testing yesterday, everything went great. I have been on liquids for 3 days now. I have come to LOVE my little single smoothie blender! I use it for my soup, smoothies, I blend fruit juice and ice for like a slurpee kinda thing... its been great. I am down 4 pounds. I know it isn't much, but im excited!!! Im nervous but very excited. Still not sure what to totally expect but I am ready!

I need some help... After a 2 year fight with insurance and doctors my surgery was approved last week and I'm set to go for the 16th. I'm 24 years old and keeping it private. I've told my boyfriend (my biggest support), my cousin who will be at the hospital with us and my mother. My father is remarried to a horrible woman who has bad a problem with me and my brother since day one. On the other hand she holds my insurance. My mother told me this morning that she's so stressed out that I am not telling my father and if I don't tell him then she's going to! This is personal and I'm 24 years old! I told her she does not have my consent to tell him and that I will never trust her again (she's pulled this crap with me before). What do I do?! Can she legally do this to me? I'm so angry that she's doing this to me after knowing my fight! His wife can just pull the insurance coverage on me and then what? I'm so upset.

Im the 16th too!

Making my protein shakes with almond milk... Yum!!!

While I was told that I was approved last Tuesday at 4pm.... Today I got the approval in the mail from my insurance! It feels more real and is very exciting! Counting my blessings!
