Thanks for everyone's good wishes!!

I JUST left the hospital. I'm so tired. But I'm fine! They did a bunch of tests and I was definitely dehydrated but I'm ok. Good night!! xoxo

Great to hear! Take care.

I had the sleeve done 3/5/2013 and today is the first day that I am noticing any problems. I'm getting light headed and dizzy as well as feeling nauseated. Kind of scared that I was fine and now experiencing these discomforts. Anyone else having this issue?

I was sleeved the 4th and started getting dizzy spells Thursday. My doc said I'm probably overdoing things since I feel great and my body is telling me to slow down.

Also remember you're not getting the calorie amount your body is used to. Have your blood pressure checked to make sure that's not it. Sugar too in case you're diabetic.

My dr said its super unlikely do be deficient in any Vitamins this early in the game.

Take it easy and I hope you feel better.

I was sleeved 3/4/13. I find that if I do to much I get those same symptoms. I sit down and relax until it passes. Are you doing to much? Good luck to you. I hope you feel better soon.

Now i understand wat i have read about the "the dont trust a fart" thing. Damn this gas. Am i the only one that cant stand Soup? Idk is the smell the taste it makes me nauseous.

HI - I am not able to stand Soup either, never have been. So I am straining Campbells chicken noodle and just sipping the broth once a day - getting in about 2 ounces doing that. My sleeve was on 3/12.

So after that long night in the hospital I would havehoped they fixed me. I feel like crap! I've thrown up twice since I've been home. I can't even hold down a couple swigs of Water. This sucks! I feel so dried out, and I haven't put any nutrients in my body in days. Any advice?

MK1986, MiraLAX dissolves into any drink hot/cold with no taste what so ever. It's great. I was sleeved 3/5 and started taking it every other day a few days ago. I'm actually pretty regular. However, I know have to be very careful when passing gas... :/

      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.
