sweetie333 3 Posted April 16, 2010 first month is the most difficult. you are on fluids only. it is expected to feel a bit dizzy that early out. you will feel better very soon and u will feel healthy and more energetic than you have ever been. I promise you will never regret doing this operation. instead u will thank God each day for giving you the chance to do it. stay strong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chancie 65 Posted April 16, 2010 It will get better........ I PROMISE!!! But... I was one of the unfortunate ones that had nausea, slimming and vomiting for about 4 months. Not to discourage you, just to warn you... and it does end and does get better. Just sip, sip sip.. get plenty of Water in so you don't dehydrate. Try differnt Protein drinks to get your Protein in. I found that ensure chicken broth was "soothing" to me...and I liked the taste. I still use it! I can remember being sooooooo tired and weak I could barely hold the hair dryer to do myhair! It didn;t last tooo long, but was hard. You WILL get past this... and when you see the sizes drop... will be sooooo pleasantly surprised!!! Take care and if you have any questions... feel free to message me! G'luck to you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thinoneday 445 Posted April 16, 2010 Awww I'm so sorry this is happening to you. . . I completely understand though, like they said the first month is not fun. . .I really hated my sleeve and wished I had never done it (I still have days like that now but not too much, I'm almost 4 months out). . . try different things. . like gatoraid, poweraid, crystal lite, and don't drink cold from the fridge Water, that definately cramps a tummy. . .hot tea is good, just make it Decaf. . . hot broth is good too. . . try those but just a couple of sips at a time resting at least 2 minutes inbetween sips. . . it does get better but remember it's a learning process. . . for me I was eating and gulping like a barbarian for 47 years then suddenly my tummy was snatched away and now i have to relearn to sip and chew like a lady. . . (pinky up) Good luck, you'll be ok. . .keep us posted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
