Spasms and hunger. Please go away!

[dc2beslim 3]

I was hospitalized for dehydration on day 5 cause spasms make taking anything in painful. On top of that I'm so hungry and all I want is a hamburger or even a salad. But too soon for real food. And when I do get something like liquid or strained Soup down the pain is unbearable. Doc prescribed procardia to block Calcium channels that could affect the spasms and Prevacid but nothing helps. Anyone have any experience with this? Day 7 now and low on energy and motivation. Help?!

So sorry to hear this. I have had nothing but good since my sleeve. I pray that the spasms stop and you will be able to enjoy the benefits of success. I would also keep in close contact with your surgeon if the pain persists. I'm pretty sure this is not normal.

Have you tried warm liquids? Cold liquids made my stomach spaz out the first few weeks

The meds seem to help a little. Lots of acid and weird hunger feeling constantly. But warm liquids do help. Went to a restaurant tonight and had hot tea, some broth, and a little mashed potato. Ate slow and was shocked how little I ate. Gives me hope.
