Whoa' date=' remember when I said I didn't have any gas pains??? Negate that, I all of a sudden have a lot of

Gas caught in my chest that refuses to leave... I had bm last night and it didn't help in the slightest... [/quote']

It will pass. Walk walk and walk when you don't want to. I used to pace. It will get better! Keep breathing deeply too. I hurt in my chest for a week and then slowly went away. Hang in there!

Hello All!

I was sleeved on 4/16 and today was the best I've felt so far. I think I'm finally getting the balance of hydration & Protein plus some mushies. I'm down 25lbs but haven't had the energy for exercise so far. I am using myfitnesspal for tracking andi would love to be friends with any of you April Sleevers! My user name there is JodiKayeKat.

Oh my gosh, no regrets, but this has GOT to get better. I felt great after surgery, hardly any pain at all. I felt great and was walking up until Thursday night. We went out for a walk and my heart rate went up to 172 so we had to get back to the house. Since then I have been so weak it is not even funny.

Last night my blood pressure dropped to 88/55 and I felt incredibly bad. Cold sweats and incredible weakness and dizziness. Blood pressure better today. I expected to feel like this last week, not 12 days post-op. Incredibly frustrating and has me wanting to cry at the drop of a hat.

Sorry for the venting, but maybe someone will ahve some words of wisdom.

Yeah, I took the meds but they don't seem to do the job. I use the liquid Tylenol they supplied me plus a couple of tums and gas-x chewables... I get a really bad case it feels like stomach acids is eating through my esphogus Smh lol...

My surgeon repaired a hernia during my surgery which he told my sister I shouldn't get acid reflux, wrong! I just can't figure what is causing it because I'm still drinking Protein Shakes and not eating. But when I lay down I feel acid coming up in my throat.

Yeah I had a hernia repaired also during my surgery. He never said anything about this or how to prevent it Smh... Craziness

I was told I would probably need the omeprazole for a year and just to count on taking it. The acid is a killer if I don't take it. Right now, the doc has me on 40mg which is double the OTC amount. I take one in the morning 20mg and one before bed.

I must be the only patient that has a hurnia that the doc did not fix!!! Tics me off a bit, needless to say. I know he said it was small, but why not fix it. Jimmy, hope that acid gets better soon.

I was sleeved 4/12..... To date I have hardly NO APPETITE! I am thirsty alot and the smell of Protein grosses me out. Its rough lol. I am getting in my Water but am soooo over this Protein Shake stuff! Are any other early April Sleevers going thru this?

I was sleeved 4/13 and also have no appetite. I can't drink the Protein Shakes for some reason anymore either, they make me physically ill (and I've tried about 10 different ones recently). I am able to eat a selection of soft foods now, but worry without the protein shakes I'm not getting in enough protein or calories. Most day my water intake is about 60 ounces and I can only eat at the most 3 ounces per meal. I feel like the more water I take in the less I actually want to eat.

[WillowsKnot 71]

I too am sick of the Protein Shakes, but I am still downing two 30g shakes a day. With those and the Protein that I am eating I am getting about 80 grams of protein. On the other hand, I am not getting anywhere near 60 oz. of fluids in a day of just Water based stuff. I get about 16 to 18 oz. in water and the rest of the fluids I am getting from food and my shakes. I was told that my Fluid intake needed to be just that, fluids, not necessarily water. I am now not so worried about that. I am more concerned with getting enough calories in a day and since I still can't eat that much food, I have to have those shakes or I feel weak and I get the shakes. I tend to have low blood sugar as a rule, so I have to be really careful on the food front so that I don't bottom out.
