No I wouldn't want you to stop if you need them. For me it was making me sick. Just take it easy and try and drink your Water. Hope you better soon.

I stop taking mine because they didn't work even after I took two at a time..I can't take hydro so be gave me ultram and it does nothing not even put me to sleep...I'm still on liquids until see my Dr next week.. so hopefully I will get to the next phase. I'm suppose to go back to work on the 18 th so I'm gonna need a miracle...now I'm questioning my decision...you know before I had this done I wad numb...not scared or excited just ok whatever kind of feeling...now I'm like WTH!!!

I'm sorry you are questioning things. That is not something I'm dealing with. I'm still very happy I had the surgery and just figure I'll take a few extra days to recover than everyonre else. I hope you start feeling better soon. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

Thanks, I am working on it. Yeah, the IV meds made me really sick. I am sure it'll all pass soon. I feel a little better with each day. Just wish it were a little more speedy. Enjoy your day!

I go back and forth with it....I had my surgery because I've had so many health problems and the weight came on from take sooooo many different meds...I think after finding out that I had this genetic heart disease and having to add 2 more pills to my menu it just kind of threw me..so I'm dealing with that ..you know I keep thinking ...what if I went through this and it changes nothing with my heart and I still have to take this five course meal of meds...and deal with everything else that goes with it.. Idk I think if I had more support it would be different. It's just me and my daughters and they are both in college and I don't want them stressing about their mom. But they have been awesome..like wardens really..LOL I'm sure in a week I will be singing the praises of this sleeve, right now I just want the pain to stop and not to see another bowl of broth ever again...LOL

Well, glad you can vent and hopefully things will get better. When can you start puréed foods?

[grayeybeauty 48]

I'm not sure I'm on full liquids starting Tuesday for 3 weeks so sometime in there I guess

If I had to guess I'd say that's probably part of r reason you feel weak and kinda sickly. I was able to start puréed foods 1 day after surgery and I feel like that has helped me to keep my energy and not be disgusted by having to eat the same thing over and over.

I bet after you start eating something with more substance you'll feel better. That won't change the pain, it hasn't mine either, but hopefully will make you feel human again.

I'm sure your right...I want to follow my Dr orders but I think your right...Im gonna eat some cream Soup and see what happens..

[COnative 192]

Just thinking about you! Hope your symptoms have eased up a little bit. I am happy to hear that you have an appointment tomorrow- please let us know how it goes!

[grayeybeauty 48]

It's a lil better went for a long walk too a nice hot long shower...had some Isopure and Soup thin out like water..LOL I know its all for the better but like I said before going at it alone its a bit hard a stressful so I think I needed to vent. Thank you ...means a lot

Had my sleeve on the 4th and I'm trying really hard to be positive but it hurts so bad to breathe' date=' to move ,to laugh. I honestly don't think if eating a cup of anything in 5 days because it seems like it gets caught in my throat and chest and hurts to go down. The only thing that works is Water and popsicles!

Have not be to the bathroom since before surgery ( bowel movement). Everything smells aweful...sometimes I think this is the best thing I could have ever done so I will post positive comments then my body starts laughing at me and snaps me back to my reality!! Please tell me this will pass..just want the pain to stop[/quote']

I felt the same way. It will pass. Start walking when you can. It really helped me.

Thank you everyone for your support..late yesterday through all the pain I got with the help of my daughters got my shoes on and went for a walk...it hurt like Hell but I made it through...came home shower made my own broth sat up in the bed for a ling time heating pad in place and watch movies with my favorite girls..woke up this morning walked again little further this time and feel better today ...combination of the what if's ,feeling alone and a lil depression made it worse..but looking at their faces and all of my new bff on here made s difference..thanks again...GOD bless each and everyone of you !!
