What Would You Consider Being The Worst Thing About This Surgery?

[betterthanbefore 19]

I am wondering on this.

[Jlo77 11]

Head hunger is the worst

[betterthanbefore 19]

Can u describe it?

[Ms skinniness 3,003]

I can't think of anything worst with my sleeve! It saves me every time!

The pre-op liquid diet. Everything else has been gravy!

[Jlo77 11]

I guess I can eplain it as craving food because I miss it or smell it. I am not hungry or in need of food. Getting over the fact you can not eat more then a few bites of food and you are full. Going to a party watching people eat the food you use to enjoy And still wanting it. It's the emotional part of the journey. Many times you will have to eat when you don't want to just to get Protein in.

Hi Lissa, I'm Toyier I am thinking about getting the sleeve done. How much time do you think I should take off work?

I heard 2 weeks then do not lift anything or bend for another 4 weeks meaning not to pick things up off the floor. But every doctor is different

The hardest thing for me is waiting 30 minutes after I eat to drink. But everything else is so positive, I can deal with that! LOVE MY SLEEVE!

Thank you so much! Can you think of anything I need to look out for or would be helpful to me.

I constantly drink all day long. I can drink any amount with no problems.
