march sleevers the good and the bad

[JolieBug 82]

I started justifying a Hershey Kiss today. It reduces to a liquid, which is the rule for me right now. Le sigh. This sh*t is hard. I spit it back out. Well, except the part that already melted. I also considered chewing and spitting a grilled chicken bite. Le sigh again. I need to sleep and start over tomorrow.

So I had my surgery on March 25. I am having trouble getting all the liquids down. My stomach feels so weird. I feel like it is having contractions/spasms. Also, the air is trapped and I can not burp! :/. I have tried mylicon drops and gas-x, but nothing is working. I am on Clear Liquids and taking very small sips (1 ounce every 10min). It's just uncomfortable when I sip I can feel it go down and it wants to come back up as a burp, but then it just sits there. I have been walking trying to release the gas, and this is NOT helping. Also I feel empty. I have been shaking and just feel weak. The emptyness is almost as if my body wants solid food to feel full. I am going to stick to the diet progression because I do bot want to hurt myself. Any Suggestios???

I had surgery March 1 in TJ. Doing great, except for almost a two week stall now. Eating great, on solids now but chew chew chew. I really have to watch myself from just the old chew and swallow way of eating. Can't wait to get to the raw veggie/salad thing!

I was sleeved on 3/27 & it's takes getting used to the new way of life. I had nausea yesterday but it did not last too long. I am on pureed foods and I am not complaining, but the pain associated with eating leaves a lot to be desired. I will be glad when the healing is over. I have no desire to get on the scale is this normal? Also I am afraid of narcotics so I have been laying low on pain meds.

You and me both. I haven't been taking pain meds in fear of throwing up. I also have no desire at all to weigh myself. I know I'm still bloated from surgery and could care less what I weigh right now. I just want to heal safely.

I'm the same day as you & I'm afraid to try full liquids much less pureed. Lol I hate the pressure/pain I get from swallowing. I also don't take my narcs. The lortab makes me hurt worse, then I get dizzy sweats & pass out for a while. I found liquid children's Tylenol to work the best, if that helps any.

I'm March 27 & basically in the same boat as you. The "emptiness" is very weird... when I get that stuck/burp feeling, I raise my arms over my heart & literally shake a little. Usually it helps...

I'm doing better now. And loosing. I did have alot of gas and tummy spaz's but apart from that I'm fine. Though sometimes dizzy and light headed. I was kinda feeling sorry for my self the first 4/5 days but today way alot better. Tomorrow is a week since surgery I weighed in this morning and has lost 6.5kg since pre op. I'm only 0.8kg away fr my first goal. So that's exciting. I know the weightloss will slow down but it was a positive. I'm having trouble wanting to bite into my fiancé food. I don't buy I miss actually biting into stuff. It's funny his food makes my tummy rubble which puts me in alot of pain lol
