jaxmama23 6 Posted May 8, 2013 Lol I need to find something to do as well. I never realized how much revolved around or included eating! I too had the discomfort you're speaking of and I had to start taking very small drinks and found that it helped. If I take too big of a drink I get a lot of pressure and end up belching :-/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladylei0 20 Posted May 9, 2013 I'm not hungry either but I find myself fantasizing about food anyways. Really looking forward to the soft foods stage. Other than that I'm feeling fantastic, lots of energy, healed fast with little discomfort 1 MIJourney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephanie Morel 1 Posted May 9, 2013 I don't know what I really expected but I am surprised how difficult it is too drink and stay hydrated. There is discomfort when I drink feels like something is squeezing my insides. Another surprise is that I'm never hungry' date=' which I guess is good. I need to find a new love lol[/quote'] I feel the same way!. I was also sleeved on 4/29. I have no idea why I felt so prepared lol- now I'm finally feeling a little better but recovery was odd for me too. I'm terrified of becoming dehydrated( but it's so hard to drink that much!) I've lost 15lbs so far- cant wait to start going to the gym I wanna work on not having that much skin! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikkilee03 17 Posted May 9, 2013 Hey everyone....in the ER with dehydration been here all day. Went for my post op visit and was sent here. I'm feeling a lil better but kinda worried about going home.

ladylei0 20 Posted May 10, 2013 Oh no! My Dr said the same thing when I went for post op yesterday but just told me to drink Water. It is very hard to stay hydrated. If I set my water down I don't drink so I'm just walking around with a water bottle now everywhere I go, even if I'm using the restroom lol and just consciously telling myself drink drink drink!!! I'm so sorry for you're troubles Nikki, hope you're feeling better and out of there soon. Thinking of you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikkilee03 17 Posted May 10, 2013 Thank you. I'm home now feeling a lot better. I'm going to be forcing my self to drink from now on. Don't want to end up in the ER again. They tested for leaks and eveything came up fine. So just had bags and bags of fluids. So now I just need to say hydrated :-) 1 ladylei0 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
