I have really funky breath and a bad taste in my mouth all the time. I get lightheaded. I think it's from too few calories.

Sugar free wouldn't deter them. But I bet the fit I threw will.

I sent my son to go get me some yogurts. The son that doesn't even live here. I didn't have him get me puddings Bc those are more likely to be eaten by others. I got so lightheaded n then really emotional. I just cried n cried.

I'm really fucking pissed. I've had a total of maybe 40 calories today and am light headed. I go to get me a sf pudding or a chobani yogurt and there are none. I can eat soup, yogurt and pudding. Three damn things and THAT is what everyone in this place decides to eat. We have all kinds of food. All kinds of stuff and I don't have jack shit to eat.

Thought I had one but come to find out I didn't after all.

It was light. I know it wasn't over 15 pounds. It was probably only 5 pounds.

I just had to take some Bc I was a dummy and lifted a box and strained my stomach muscles

Glad to see you're up and staying busy. Today I started packing and picked up the box of stuff. It didn't seem heavy at all but I started hurting. Now I'm gonna nap or something. Maybe I won't feel as sore afterward.

I haven't sharted yet, but I'm pretty careful. If it feels like it's gonna be a volcano I am over the toilet.

i wish I'd gotten my Rx filled before surgery so I wouldn't have to wait for them a day afterward. Also, I am glad I colored my new growth before I went in. It made me feel better about myself

I know Sherry, it was funny in retrospect. I so should've at least said "avoid the spicy ones" or something!!! I'm glad you're doing so great, we are gonna be totally different people a year from now. Mentally and physically. Stronger in both ways I'm excited for that change.

PB2 is heaven. I use it

Hang in there sweety. I know how that feels and I kept thinking "what have I done". I know you are probably tired of hearing this, but it really does get better each day. The first 3 days were some if the worst I'd ever experienced and it was really hard for me to remember why I was going through everything that the surgery put me through in the hospital. Stay strong and things will get better.

From what I've read on here, a large majority of sleevers suffer from both.

Are you taking your PPI acid reducer? I can't stress how important it is Bc acid mimics hunger.

Ohhhh. I misunderstood ya. I have to have help getting it on though. Thank goodness for Lindsay and Jolie. They've been a huge help. Jolie even changes my bandage over where my drain was pulled Bc I have to keep it covered for 5 days. They said it's a high risk of infection otherwise.

If it were my daughter, I'd take her to Dr. Alvarez. Look him up on YouTube. He has performed surgeries on younger persons and is very skilled. If I'd exhausted all options, as you have, I'd have no qualms about my daughter getting VSG. Good luck, and give your daughter a big (((hug))) from me. April

I woke up with it on and if I have it off I feel like my insides are gonna burst out of my incisions or that they are gonna pop open. I'm the opposite of SJ, I prefer to wear mine at night Bc I'm a side sleeper and without it I'm in a ton of pain rolling from side to side or getting out of bed. Also if you laugh or cough it keeps you from feeling like you're ripping your incisions and tummy open.

Girl, I'd try it. If nothing else you'll get rid of a ton of gas. Today my sis invited me to lunch (I just had a lemon water) at Rib Crib and all at once I had to go potty. Right then!!!! Of course there was someone in the stupid restroom so, just as I started to use the men's room instead of crapping in the hall, a kid comes out. I run in there n barely make it in time. But I had so much gas it was crazy. And loud. It was so loud I was feeling sorry for the table of people not far from the bathroom door. When I was finished up inside the restroom and walked past that table they all stated at my in disbelief. Yeah... I think I ruined their lunch. But I felt better n that's really all that counts. Lol

It's this stretchy thing that is wrapped around your tummy and velcros shut. It holds you in. Lol

I agree!!! Instead of taking 15 damn minutes to wipe it takes 10 seconds!!!! Lol On another note, my belly is so distended. I can neither suck it in nor pooch it out. It's just there all swollen. When I take my abdominal binder off I feel like my guts are gonna spill on the floor through my 4 incision sites. Lol I'm supposed to wear it til my 2 week follow up but I only wear it at night Bc it kills me during the day.

I had mine Tuesday the 18th and the full feeling was this tightening at the top of my tummy. In between my boobs. It was painful n I thought the liquids were gonna reappear.

I know!!! I'm not feeling like I'm dying every time I lower or raise myself off the toilet, which I was.

Ditto. Getting my drain out was like a total release of pressure. Plus a nagging pain under my rib cage disappeared immediately.
