In my opinion you should ask your doctor. But I know that what happened to you is caused by a low blood pressure because it happened a lot to me. You should do the anxiety and the sugar tests and get a professional advice. With me the hypotension is cause by low sugar in my system, anxiety and anemia. Drink Water as much as u can.

Good luck

The other day I was craving so bad and had my first very serious hunger pains. I went over board and had 5 oz of yogurt I knew I shouldn't have but I couldn't help myself. I still don't feel good. I don't want a single thing to eat or drink and my stomach is sore. I am doing my best just to get my liquids in. My surgery was the 21st. 11 days in and I am so mad at myself. Something is going on with my leg as well. Thought I had a blood clot and went to get an ultrasound. No clot but I'm in pain. Feels like my vein is tearing out of my skin. I am a little miserable after doing so well. Anyone else cheat and what did you do to feel normal again?

Also for those people going to 4th of July events - its our first holiday surrounded by social fooding. How will you handle that. I want to hear Tuesday when you get back to normal.

I don't think it's cheating. I'm eating lots of Soup. More than I'm allowed. But I can't help myself. This is soooooo frustrating.

I'm day 9 post-op and since the surgery I've been having severe mood swings. I'm angry most of the times and feel like fighting with everyone. Anyone else with this problem? ??

I had bad breath for about a week after surgery but it's better now. My tongue was coated with gunk. Mouthwash helped some.

Me too!!!! Every night I have a different dream. But they're all all about food

Has anyone out there that has gotten the procedure had heightened emotions since? Literally everything gets to me and I cry. I cry bc I'm cold...bc I'm alone at home, because I feel like I'm not fun anymore and can't do fun things with my fiancée anymore right now....I'm just an absolute mess.

I'm an emotional mess myself. I'm 9 days post-op and my Dr. Is very conservative. I'm not allowed to eat pureed before another 15 days. Can't do anything and everything makes me cry. It gets easier everyday don't worry.

Hi all!! I'm new to this!! I had surgery he 23rd. They told me I could go through a slew of emotions after and boy are they right. I'm currently going through the regret phase. I know it will get better but it's hard. I had my gallbladder out at he same time so I'm having a lot of pain and getting the fluids down is soooo difficult for me. I had my follow up today and had to go to the hospital for 2liters of IV fluids. My roommate at the hospital had bypass and we keep in touch for support and she has been feeling great! This is tough stuff and definitely not easy! A lot of cramping.

How are you all doing? The support we can give each other is huge and I love the whole concept of it!

My sleeve was on the 23rd too. I had a hernia that they took care of. Well yes until yesterday and was feeling depressed with lots of regrets. I guess it's our body's way to cope with this change cause it really is life changing but believe it's for the best. Before you know, you will look at yourself in the mirror and you will b the happiest person ever. That's what I was told and I honestly can't wait for this moment to. Keep me posted with all the changes ok? Best of luck

Is it weird that I been able to poop 3 times today? Also was able to get in more then 600 cal for the first time since the surgery.

Don't worry about it. 2 days post-op I was able to poop too. And until now (7 days post-op ) I have an easy stomach and I go 3 to 4 times a day. Maybe that's why I'm getting hungry? R u getting hungry too?

My surgery is tomorrow. I check in at 5:30 a.m. for 7:30 a.m. surgery time. Trying not to panic and instead focus on why I made the decision to do this. I'm half packed for the hospital, and am looking forward to my 80 min massage tonight at 7:30!! Then going home, taking a shower, finishing the packing, and going to bed. Tomorrow starts a new life, right?

OMG...OMG.......

Best of luck

Thank you Maggie!!! Well yes maybe because I'm starving!! I will see my doctor tomorrow hopefully he will change my diet

Hi. I'm 6 days post-op and I'm still on clear diet. I get hungry a lot. But the worst thing is I'm getting depressed a lot! !! What's wrong with me. I'm already on antidepressants but it's been 3 days I'm always either angry or sad.. anyone has the same problem?

Good to all of you

It's called deferred pain and it's your body's way of telling you that it hurts internally. Sometimes it can be caused from the gas they pump you up with during surgery. Rolling your shoulders, walking, and taking Gas-x can sometimes help if the pain is gas related. Otherwise, healing will help. You can also try using a heating pad or a hot water bottle on your shoulder for some mild relief.

Thank you [emoji4]

I have the same problem. I guess it's because we're too hungry to sleep

Hi.. I'm 6 days post-op and I still feel this sharp pain on my left shoulder. The doctor said that it will go with time. For me this pain did not decrease.. anyone else has this problem?

I'm still pre VSG, but worry about the same thing---hunger afterwards. Even now, after a full meal, I can still eat and feel hungry "in my head"!!! It is NOT physical hunger.

By the way, are you on any medications? I take an anti-depression medicine called Abilify. It helps with my depression, but I swear it gives me a SUPER INCREASED appetite which is all in my head. When I try to come off of it, the false appetite diminishes, but the depression increases----a real catch 22!!

Yes I am on antidepressants!!! Maybe I should talk to my physician and change it?

Hi everyone. This is my fifth day post-op and I'm experiencing hunger pain.

Is this normal? I did the sleeve to get rid of my food cravings. I'm really discouraged . I'm on clear liquids now for a week. God help me I'm really soooooo hungry!!!

Are you taking a PPI? Stomach acid can mimic hunger.

Are you getting in at least 64 oz of Fluid? Dehydration can seem like hunger.

Are you reaching your Protein target? If not, you may actually be hungry.

Are you bored? Under stress? You may be experiencing head hunger.

Actually I'm taking everything I'm allowed to take. Only clear fluids. Like clear Soup, chicken broth, no sugar apple juice, Decaf tea... but still HUNGRY

Thank you

Hi everyone. I got out from the OR at 3pm with an unbearable pain in my shoulders [emoji15]. The surgery took 3 hours because the Dr. Found a hernia on top of my stomach. So he had to deal with it too. I walked at 5 pm. And now I feel so much better. [emoji4]

My sleeve is in one hour and getting scared from what I'm reading!! Is it really that hard post-op?

My sleeve's tomorrow at 11. Can't wait to be done.

Mine is at 7:30 tomorrow. Good luck!

Good luck to you too

My sleeve's tomorrow at 11. Can't wait to be done.

June 23rd. excited, anxious and scared. Good luck everyone

Hello all.

My sleeve surgery is set for next Thursday! ! I'm so excited and scared at the same time. But I was wondering did anyone have kids after the surgery? Does it have any complications?

Thank u all for the support

Hi everyone. I'm a very shy person and I'm new here.

I'm a mother of 3 wonderful devilish angels[emoji23] .

Waiting for my gastric sleeve surgery, I'm scared and excited at the same time.

Im not telling anyone about this. Just my husband and parents because no one understands that this is something really serious and hard. And unlike everyone else thinks, it's not cheating [emoji35].

I came here because I desperately need the support. I'm soooooo scared.

Wish I had the courage....
