Hi everybody, i was sleeved on the 14th of Jan in Mexicali by Dr. Aceves, he is a very good doctor and recognised nationally as well as internationally. The procedure went well, had some pain but everything was normal.

On this wednesday i've got dehydrated and ended up at the hospital in Mexico city wich is a great hospital top of the line.

The made me a scan to see if i had leeks and thank God i didn't , but they fand out i've got beginnings of pneumonia, on friday i left the hospital to go home, felt good on friday and saturday and today until 4pm when i puked since the i haven't ben able to drink anything, every time i drink makes me nauseas, because of that i'm afraid i will det dehydrated again and end up in the hospital one more time, i am suffering and don't see when or if i'll feel good any time soon.

I pray to good for help everyday. I regret with all my soul this surgery.

I am loosing the pounds but lost all the quality of life i had.

I suffer from a deep depression and it's making me looking at it much worse.

Help!!

Hey Jacky sorry to hear about your horrible time you're having. I'm 6 months out and thrilled I had this surgery. The good news for you is that you don't have anything that is not curable. Depression can be managed and pneumonia can be taken care of. I'm adding you to my prayers.

You grabbed the bull by the horns, hold on tight and ride. It gets so much better you will see. Take life day by day. Think good thoughts and stay strong. You can beat this!!!

      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.
