I've had sharp pains since yesterday at around 6pm. I'm so thristy and everytime I sip on something, the pain intensifies. I was on full liquids but decided to go back to clear like the book suggests hoping it would get better but it hasn't. It's slowly getting worse. Called the surgeons answering service and the surgeon on call suggested I go to the Emergency room so here I go. Anyone out there experience something similar? I'll let ya'll know what the outcome is once I'm out. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

23.4lbs down in 6 days! He said I can expect to lose r hat amount a month for the next 6 months. I found that weird because in the seminars they said over and over 10lbs a week. But that's neither here nor there. Anywho...on the the full liquid diet for me starting tomorrow. He told me to start all my Vitamins and Protein shakes. I'm looking frantically in the book they gave me but haven't found anything as far as how much protein I should try and get a day. Oh, and turns out I was dehydrating myself by not drinking Water all day long so that will change as well. I have to get some over the counter med for acid reflux and he prescribed something for my gull bladder but other then that, he said I looked great for just 6 days out and my wounds are healing nicely. This is getting easier everyday...I need this next week to hurry up so I can start pureed foods! Lol just wanted to update you all on how it's going for me...

I know, I know! It will get better..just got sleeved on 7/29. Down 20lbs so far, diabetes is under control for the first time in years, etc...I freaking miss food, and every commercial, every Facebook post, all my fiends posts, everything around me is food. When my wife cooks for her and the kids...ugh...I don't mean to sound so negative but I'm trying to be honest, hopefully someone knows what I'm going through and will give me some insight or somerhing but I can truly say without a shadow of a doubt that so far, I whole heartedly regret the decision to get this surgery...sorry to bring ya'll down but I had to get it out.

Thank you both, truly, for the helpful words...I will keep pushing though and think of the long run...I more than anything want to have a more active life style with wife and kids and this is the way so I will be patient and realize and always rememeber why I did this in the first place.

Just met with my primary doctor, not the surgeon...surgeon visit is on Thursday. I told him I'm very thirsty and he said sipping Water throughout the day should be no problem at all...not to go thirsty for too long. I just got this don't on 7/29 and my weight going in was 370...today I weighed 350.1. Don't really believe the scale since I don't look or feel much lighter but after I made them weigh me 3x it all came back the same. Down 20lbs in 5 days!

Ok guys, this is going to be long but I need some imput..hopefully you guys can help. First off, so far I regret having this surgery. I'm just in so much discomfort. Here are my questions. I really have to wait every two hours to sip on Water? So far, I have been alternating between chicken broth, water, sugar free water ice, and sugar free Jello. At this point, I'm not even worried about food I'm just so thirsty. The "bible" they gave me at the surgeons says to sip on water all day but I could've sworn my surgeon said to have Clear liquids every two hours (I had just had pain meds so I could be wrong, lol-ouch) I also can't sleep through the whole night tossing and turning from my left side to my back since my right side HURTS when I try to lay on it. I know people will say this is the best decision I've made but it doesn't feel like that right now. Just so ya'll know, my weight on the day of surgery was 370lbs. I am a type 1 diabetic, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, slightly high cholesterol, liver not working 100% and just plain old fat and unhappy. Any advice is appreciated and I thank you all in advance! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

That is amazing news! Thank you so much for the support. I will keep walking and taking my meds that were prescribed. I appreciate the feedback Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I went home the next day from the hospital. Not really sure how much liquid I'm supposed to be consuming...hoping I don't do too much damage before my post op appointment this Thursday 8/4. Good luck to you on your journey! I can say it's been a real rough start, but anything worth it ain't easy, right? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App
