I had mine last Wed 18th Feb. Today has been my best day yet. Visit to my GP today & healing well & blood pressure already down & off my meds.

@@cstrickland428, I have had stabbing pain in the middle of my chest too, but only if I eat a bite or two more than I should. Are you on any meds for nausea or acid reflux? I was prescribed meds for both after surgery just in case. I suggest talking to your doctor as soon as possible.

I have had a few days where I broke down in tears and felt like I made a huge mistake. A lot of others on here have talked about that too. For me, those thoughts passed when I reminded myself that every other way to lose weight that I've tried hasn't worked for me.

My surgery was the 20th. I am 5 days out and feeling great. No pain or Nausea. My doc used a drug called Exparel, and it was fabulous. Getting in about 40 oz. of liquids...32 Water, some Isopure mixed w water, otherwise too sweet, bouillon, sf popsicle, etc.

Hi, sleeves 2/11 lost 10 pounds in the first week. Seriously upset though bc the scale hasn't budged in a week. I do have a hard time getting in enough fluids and Protein but I am walking 30 min every day on top of my normal housework. I have zero heartburn or difficulty getting my soft foods in. But for example yesterday was an egg w cheese a babybel cheese and a half a piece of cod but I was so full I couldn't look at anything else. Is my body that stubborn it won't kick the weight off? Aside from not being hungry I'm wondering why I did this! I just feel alone bc all my husband can say is "I don't know you're beautiful anyway" ... While I adore is answer I just wonder if I'm alone out there ... Sorry for the rant just very frustrated this morning

Botwins I am so sorry you are feeling alone and discouraged. I am only 1 week out from surgery so I am afraid I can't help as far as telling you why. I have heard that stall in your weight Loss are normal. I know that doesn't make it any easier though. Sounds like you are doing everything right. Just keep up the good work!! It will come off eventually.

Soreadytolose I have had my serious moments of doubt also!! There are days I miss food so bad!! But I remind myself how good it will feel to be healthy and I get over my little pitty party pretty quick. ????

I had mine done on the same day and have noticed the weight slowing down. My mom had the same issue as well after her's. If you are concerned, I would talk with your surgeon. For women, I notice cycles get in the way of weight loss because you retain Water, at least I do. Mine started just a week or so after my surgery, so if your's is coming up, it may just be water weight.

I was sleeved on the 17th so I am 7 days post op. I also had a hiatal hernia repair. I have been having pressure in my chest. It feels like having pill stuck. However everything is going down well and just the pressure...is this normal?

I have a bit of pressure under the sternum at times. I get up and walk around and raise my hands up. That seems to help. I am also faithful w my gas x strips. I am getting over 40 oz of liquids in and was able to tolerate Isopure today...so finally getting more Protein.

I am ready to get out and walk...but N Tx has ice and some snow.

Having a rough day today. All these chewable vitamins are making me sick. I feel like everything I can eat is mostly sweet and then all the Protein waters are sweet. My stomach is upset and I am feeling weak and shaky. I have so much to get done and don't feel like doing any of it. Can anyone relate?

[Blue Sky 89]

Yes. I incorporated creamed Soups in the full liquid phase to help curb the sweetness. I wasn't used to all the artificial sweeteners.My doctor approved the Gummy Multivitamin for women from Target so that helps. Other Vitamins are so small I can just take them without chewing.
