  1. Yep I got mine a week after surgery as well after not having one in a year, and now today woke up to second cycle 28 days later, this morning. I didn't mark the calendar so the cramps two days before I thought was constipation guess it was my cycle. Have to say the cramps are horrible.

    its been rough

    I'm in the same boat except mine has been since after sugery on 11/18. By week 3 I was admitted and now have a PICC line and on TPN. Went to follow up today I will remain on TPN another 3 weeks. Seem my sleeve did not heal correctly that i have a bend causing all my nausea and vomiting, dr says it will get better with time. If not a possible bypass is possible. I do have regret because I miss my life. Being stuck at home and having homecare not my idea of perfect living right now.
  3. I had the same issue cleared up most of it still have only 1 or 2. My chin looked horrible i had counted 8 dots, looked like i broke out in chicken pox.
  4. So last week I was admitted to the hospital for my nausea and constant vomiting. My blood pressure was so low from dehydration and even the medications in the hospital weren't keeping me from vomiting. I am back home now after having a PICC line inserted at the hospital and receiving TPN at night. I hope it's not for long that I am on this. I do still regret this, my husband has to help me shower, set up my TPN every night and remove it. I should have tried harder on losing weight on my own. I am still on my 20s and should not be requiring home care.

    I am actually back in the hospital, I blacked out in the shower. So I called the dr he had me come to the er and get admitted. I can't keep anything down once I sit up.
  6. I try but all I do is get nauseous and end up vomiting I am on a 3rd medication for nausea and seems not to help either. I'm tired of trying to keep from being nauseous. I want to believe it will get better. But when I can't sit up long enough to drink water before feeling this way makes me just want to sleep all day so I don't throw up.
  7. Everyone tells me it will get better but I do regret it. I would rather be at the weight I was then to feel the way I do. Alway dehydrated and hungry vomit bile. I am 3 weeks post op, my husband has become so worried cause I'm not eating enough even the dr wants me to take in morr calories. The last 3 days I have not wanted to get out of bed. In 3 weeks I have gone from 214 to 182. I would rather be 214 and be myself.

    I'm trying but my husband keeps pushing protein on me and all I want is water or anything to keep me hydrated. I just can't seem to take in the isopure.

    I was sleeved on the 18th and so far nothing but hard time. I can't get any liquids down. Called doctor yesterday cause I was starting to get nauseous and feeling faint. He prescribed me something for nausea but all it did was knock me out the entire afternoon. I cried yesterday telling my husband I don't want to live anymore I regret doing this to myself. I miss being able to chug water down. Seems everyone is recovering great why am I having such a hard time.
  15. I been so sick and nauseous today. Started wondering I am 10 days post op and have gone from 214 to 193 in 10days is that normal. I thought it would be less then that since I wasn't much heavier person when I started. Goal weight is only 150. I still regret doing this I can just down a bottle water anymore and wonder will I have to be sipping for life. My dog eats and drinks more then I do right now.
