Did any have this pain or that pain......have a stall at 1 week.....or gas or throw up, or can't feel any restriction, or have regrets......etc etc etc.....

Yep......someone did......all those things. Many, many times. It's probably safe to say you can eliminate the preface "Did anyone else?".

Just start in with what you want advice, guidance or help or support with.

Now before you all start biting my head off as being insensitive or worse.....This is just a light hearted, feel good, kidding around thread.

I just chuckle under my breath when I read a Thread that wonders if anyone else experienced similar issues or events.

The point is......to those who are worried and think they are alone or undergoing some strange "never heard of issue'......Relax..... It's all here

and somebody will help. There is comfort in numbers. You don't need to work yourself into an anxiety panic thinking things are going wrong. Someone here will help you. And you're as normal as everyone else.

Do a search or just fire away and say what's on your mind. And relax....... Did Anyone???? Yep, Many many many.....just like you. ;)

7 weeks out and pulse is down to low 50s and am fatigued and dizzy. BP is fine, getting in my Protein and Water and Vitamins so any thoughts on this one? (I'm waiting for the doctor to call with results from blood tests and 24 hour heart monitor test).

Something medically specific that concerns you like the dizziness and low pulse is certainly something that needs your doctors feedback. You did the right thing there.

That being said, I had pain issues after my sleeve that closely mimicked pains I experienced when having a heart attack a while back and it worried me too. I contacted my Doc and he was able to assure me it was all normal and would soon go away. Hopefully, that will be the case with you. Try to relax.

Sometimes I'm tempted to answer 'nope, can't say I've read about anyone ever experienced _____ (fill in the blank), are you sure you had ____ surgery?' Just to mess with folks... But I know that would lead down a very dark, bottomless rabbit hole.... So I play nice.

Just to make things more fun I am flying to Europe tomorrow for work and will be there for a week and a half! So here's hoping that whatever it is resolves itself!

OK, @@Recycled , how about this one?....

"Did anyone else ever have to take a dump in a kitty litter box at work because they didn't have enough time to get to the bathroom?"...... I've searched and searched and can't find anyone else who shares this experience. I feel so alone ;)

      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.
