I'm having a hard time adjusting



Recommended Posts

hey everyone. I new to the sleeve community. My surgery was on the 23rd of June 2016. I was experiencing so much pain and nausea when I came out of surgery that morphine did not work at all. I've notice a lot of muscle spasm in my legs. I do walk every hour around my apartment for 5 to 10 minutes. I also had to go back to the emergency room yesterday because my mouth was extremely dry and it trigger my anxiety and panic attack because i didn't know what was going on. I felt as if i couldn't take a shallow and it freak me out. I started having the regrets of this surgery and my doctor told me this is common to have. I go see my doctor tomorrow, but the Water intake has been so hard bc I become so full. Plus every time I intake liquid my stomach does this painful spasm. Can anyone comment and any positive advice is appreciated.

The first time I took a sip I had a stomach spasm. The issues was the cold Water, it felt like daggers.

Are you having spasms with all Water temps? I had to drink room temp or warm drinks for a few weeks.

I was also sleeved on June 23rd. Sorry you have been having pain and nausea. I have a nausea patch behind my ear a d have never felt sick. My pain has been my belly where incisions are but feels better today.

I had a couple of spasms and Dr told me they are normal. Stomach is trying to adjust. Try taking some deep breaths to relax. When you sip just take in enough to wet your mouth before swallowing. You can increase as you go.

Let us know what doc says.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
