Ok so this may be completely unrelated to my sleeve, but I'm 6 days post op and today I have not been able to stop yawning. I'm talking like 20+ times an hour off and on all day. It's almost like I just can't get enough air. Anyone else experienced anything like this??

Are you stressed?

Are you taking your Vitamins?

Your body has been thru heck...a major organ has been severed... It could be telling you to rest a bit more.

Congrats on your surgery! :)

Yes stressed, live next to crazy neighbors and today they threatened my life and I had to call the police. Haven't yet started my Vitamins b/c I didn't have the chewable ones yet and the regular ones were way too big to swallow. I bought chewable vitamins today and so I am just starting that. Just thought it was weird it's lasted all day. Just feel like I can't breathe deep enough. I'm going to use my incentive spirometer as i'm laying in bed and see if that helps any.

Thanks :)

Oh no! That would stress you out for sure!! I hope it gets resolved :(

Yes, start your chewable vitamins especially with all the added stress from your neighbors.

Your hearts not racing is it? You feel okay otherwise?

Definitely do your spirometer. It's worth the hassle. You don't want pneumonia.

I had the exact same thing. Part of it is anxiety, but mostly it was my low Iron. I starting taking iron and Vitamin C together (helps the iron absorb) and it went away. Try it, it'll go away!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
