I have my 2 week check up tomorrow and am hoping to be promoted to mushies. What should I pick up at the store? Favorite mushies?

I'm 12 days post op. I am suffering some major buyers remorse, anxiety and depression. All I want to do is stay in my house and sleep. I cry when my husband leaves for work and am on edge. I am having a hard time getting all my fluids in. I saw my PCP yesterday who recommended I see a therapist. However I can't get into the therapist until the 26th. I'm in this awful rut and I hate it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Not constipated. And Yes I'm on prilosec.

I am11 days out. This didn't start until 4 days ago. ANYTHING that I drink (hot, cold, warm, room temp) my tummy cramps. Its like swallow, wait a couple seconds...then BAM CRAMPS!!!! What gives????

I'm 11 days out and haven't lost an ounce....

P.s. I haven't lost a stitch of weight

I am also a nurse. I am 11 days post op. I am having some awful anxiety issues. I am nowhere near my calorie or fluid intake either. I will be returning to work soon too. I also work 12 hour shifts and I'm really nervous about it. How old Are you? Maybe we can buddy up and work together on this? I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks for these words...

I do not regret having the sleeve over RXY. In speaking to my primary MD, I feel It is the best choice out there. I didn't want to reroute my intestines. Nor was I interested in the low weight loss and issues that come with the band.

You look beautiful

Most likely your surgeon will. I am a nurse and if that such thing occurred in my hospital, the surgeon would pick it up no questions asked and you would have been treated like a queen during your stay . Glad you're doing better. Xoxoxo

I think you just try to do better the next day. I also struggle with getting the protein drinks down. Have you tried low Carb slim fast? They meet all the nutritional requirements and taste better than the protein drinks to me. Or maybe powdered protein? They also make protein shots and a kind of jello shot with 15gms of protein in them. They are call protein twist shots. Hope one of these can help you.

Ice water again!?!? I was a huge ice water junky prior to surgery. Now it causes cramping. Does this ever go away? I'm 10 days post op.

Thanks for the support and encouragment!!!

Anemia can definitely cause this...

I am 10 days out post op. Wondering if I could melt some cheese on my soup for added nutrition??? Having a hard time getting on my calories.

Class of 99 here! I'm thirty and 10 days post op. I live in Northern Cali. Looking for friends to take this journey with. Email me at chasie2002@yahoo.com. I will also mention, I'm a nurse and a mmom

I want to sprinkle some cheese into my soup. I am 10 days post op.

First off let me say I am a nurse AND a hypochondriac. I probably know more that I should for my own good.... I had my sleeve done on 8/26. I thought I had thought through this completely. But now I am a nervous wreck. I can't eat, can't sleep, and don't want to go out of my house. I'm so scared. Scared that I made a terrible choice. Why didn't I diet and do this instead Of taking out part of a perfectly good body. I shudder thinking of the fact that I'm always going to have to worry about long term side effects. I did this too hastily and now I regret it. One day I was normal, the next I am completely different from all of those around me. I worry that by defacing my body I have shortened my life. Please help me. Tell me If you had these feelings and how You have dealt with them.....

The past couple of days my stomach hurts when food or liquid hits it. Its like I take a bite and within a few seconds it hurts. Have any of you experienced this?

My NUT has mainly focused on protein, protein, protein. What has been your recommendation for daily amount of carbs? Thanks!

I'm 9 days out. I still get the cramping. Especially while drinking. I l burp a lot too. My Dr. Said that will get better as I get used to swallowing with my new stomach. The dizziness will improve. Its just your body adapting. I didn't have a drain so I can't help there. Good luck.

I'm having more of an anxiety response. I'm scared. Scared I ruined my body. Scared I wont succeed. Scared I am too young to have done this. Scared that down the road there are going to be horrible side effects that will kill me and my family will be alone. Scared my suture line will rupture and I will die Pretty much all around scared.....

I was sleeved on 8/26. I too am having buyers remorse. My biggest worry is the long term affect of the sleeve. I am also angry at myself for altering my body. I'm hoping things get better. Hugs to all of you.

I am a Nurse and am afraid to go back. I am only a week out. I think I am going to take the 4 weeks off that I planned. Any other nurses out there that work 12 hour shifts? What is the best way to deal with long work days (or nights in my case)????
