cbthompson 1 Posted July 19, 2016 I had my sleeve on May 20th. The first week was hell! I became dehydrated which was taken care of at my 5 day visit post op. I was given 2 bags of IV which made me feel better. At this point I feel much better still struggle with eating, but my weight loss is going as I would have hoped. I started with a 44 pant size now depending on the brand I can wear 36-38 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LizHobbs 27 Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Hi Susie. I stop smoking 20 years ago. If you can pass that 20 minutes craving you will be fine. Find a candy sugar free that taste like worth(?) or some with the taste u like. Get up do something Put something in between your fingers , brush your teeth and give a fresh mint taste to it ....20 minutes is how much last. You don't want mess up your stomach. I'm here for you.
