OOoooooohhhh can I relate!!! I remember being so depressed and thinking...what have I just done! It DOES get better, but it may take over 6 mo's to do so! Not going to say it goes away completely, cause it doesn't. I still have episodes that come and go, where I get too aggressive eating and it all comes right back up. I've found it's what I'm eating and have learned there are just some foods that I can't tolerate. Hamburger/pork/shredded meats...all come back up. Very small bites and waiting, even an hour before having more has helped...not drinking at all during any meals helps...and lastly, just stopping eating, even when I'm not full...helps tremendously! I was sleeved December 11th. I want to thank you guys for this. Reading your posts let's me know I'm not alone. I was thinking what is wrong with me. I have been feeling a little down thinking what the hell have I done to myself??!! My mother had the surgery almost 5 yrs ago and I can't help but compare myself to her sometimes. It doesn't seem like she had have the trouble I'm having. My Dr. did say that it is swelling in my new stomach and that it would get better. He told me to continue my Zantac and also gave me Carafate to help. I know that this is a process, I guess I'm just impatient.

I'm in the same boat. No caffeine products. I drink Water, grape juice, fair life milk, and my Protein drinks. I feel like nothing quenches my thirst. I'll try adding Gatorade to my liquids to see if that helps.

Hello y'all, newbie here. I was sleeved on 12/11. I'm still having pain in my left shoulder. It it's driving me nuts. I'm still having a hard time getting all my water in. I was having pain every time I ate or drank. My surgeon said it was swelling in my new stomach. He wrote a script for carafate. Now, no more pain while eating out drinking. Just taking it one day at a time. Good luck to everyone!

Thank you for the info because I'm having the same issue. It is getting on my nerves.

I'm coming all late to the party but, anyway. Hello, everyone I'm a newbie who has been lurking for a while. I was sleeved on 12/11/15.
