    Pain in the belly

    this is probably a little late. I had two types of pain, a gas pain that went away whenever I "released" gas in nay way. The other pain was this odd pulling sensation, it turned out to be a stitch deep in my body, which went away about a month out of surgery.

    Pickles and olives

    @@laylalayla I was sleeved on nov 9th of this year, and my nutritionist was okay with me having pickles two weeks post op. it was the only thing I could eat. I'd eat a pickle spear and take incredibly small bites. it was the only thing I could keep down. she said that it was fine as long as nothing was getting stuck in my throat or anything. Because they weren't sharp or crispy she wasn't concerned with my stomach lining either. even my surgeon was okay with me eating pickles.

    Real resources for people our age?

    @@kalinicoled I'm not sure how old she is, but a youtuber I watch that has had bariatric surgery is Clusie, or Clusie L, I'm not sure what shes under. she has a great video explaining why she had surgery at her age instead of waiting. and if you're into youtubers in general, then a youtuber named Gabriella had a gastric sleeve done, however she doesn't talk about it a lot, or at all really, but shes fantastic.
  4. I got my gastric sleeve done on November 9th, 2016, and I'm going crazy. I've found myself so overly emotional since surgery, crying at happy things, and sad things. Maybe somebody compliments me, maybe someone questions my choices, and BAM, I'm sobbing. I feel emotionally stable in the general terms of things, like, I'm good man. But every day I'm finding myself crying or angry about random things. Is this normal? Is this something other people go through after surgery? let me know!! REGRET. The day before my surgery, my boyfriend asked me if I was sure this is what I wanted to do, if this is where I wanted to take my life. I said yes. I've been avoiding talking to anybody I know about my experiences because I don't want them to be all like "told ya" or just being like "you made a mistake" type comments. I've been feeling so upset about surgery and what I've been through. Let me be clear, I know that in the long run, I am not going to regret this choice. but as of right now, this sucks. I caught a cold like, two days after surgery. My provider(s) told me that they didn't want me to take any over the counter medications for it for one reason or another. so I just had to sit in hell. I got really dehydrated and all my skin is dry. it's not fun. I'm regretting this surgery due to things that I HOPE are a little more common in post-op. Please let me know if I'm the only one feeling this sort of regret. or any advice you may have in order to help me out.
