It's not easy to learn to eat out. I gave it one more attempt. I'm one month out and I threw up six times before and during a movie yesterday after a frnd n I ate lunch. I am starting to think the constriction is stress related too. It's overwhelming to eat out with friends that don't know bout the surgery. Pain is still on right side, especially after throwing up and coughing or sneezing. Today I walked two miles hoping the scale will finally drop!!!! It hasn't moved in over a week.

Having a lot of frustration with no weightloss n pain n hard time learning how to eat n just struggling in general with adaptation to the sleeve n lack of success n just some regret. I just want results. No I wasn't like this b4. I appreciate your care n support. Thank u. As I'm reading on here more I guess everyone goes through this but I'm already one month out :0(

Note: I don't want to hear anyone say to go see a therapist. I already have that taken care of. This is all surgery related. I'm at one month and feeling severely depresses right Now. It was slow coming n now it's full force. Can't sleep at night n sleep all day with too many thoughts in my head. Can't wait particularly to look n feel good n not feel so lonely . I want a life. I want the weight to get off me so badly n to feel good. I deserve to laugh and smile. Not cry...

The past two days, especially right now, I wish I hadn't done this n don't know what the helll the point is cuz I'm not losing any f-ing weight n just so damn frustrated!

I'm one month out today and oh Gosh is it hard to sleep all of a sudden! More nighttime belly pain then ever. Weird . I guess things are healing n it hurts more.

Hugs

Are the mornings getting harder one month out for you sleevers??? I am very weak these days n nauseous in morning. :0/

THat is so awesome! U will get it in no time!! Meanwhile I've been the same 226 pounds for a week already! When will I actually lose weight?!!! I guess I need to up my protein n h2o a lot!! :0( but I hardly eat. Oh well.

Today is day 32 since my surgery. Woah time flies!

Good morning everyone. I don't know why I woke up with slimes and then took two sips of water on empty stomach n had to throw up cuz it wouldn't go down with horrible pressure pounding headache. Maybe it's cuz I had too much salty cheese last night am hour b4 bed. Blah

Hi all Octobers , I'm doing ok too. I was sleeved on oct 28 2011. I need to up my protein drinks n water n focus on taking my vitamins more. I threw up several times on certain foods or drinking with my food at a couple of resturaunts and once at home with scrambled egg whites. I have bad right side pain still, but I know it's just scar tissue forming n the healing process. I hope u all r great! Hugs

I had that experience with the night time shift nurse. I'll never forget it. Ugh. Anyway I hope this time around the staff is better for your post op experience! :0)

Ouch u r strong!

So u r well prepared for what's to come I'm sure. It's my first surgery. ;0)

I'm on day two of week four n it's supposedly normal at least for eight weeks to have scar tissue pain n they cut through muscle, too.

Yes the pain is still there and I got no sleep. I had to just take a pain medicine and naseau one. I plan on walking a lot today though. I need strength. I had a dream I was actually too skinny n weak. I didn't look healthy. I'm sorry you are still not feeling well. The cold weather probably is not helping. They will give I a surgery date because if it's at least two weeks away, which it usually is (because of preop diet), you'll b ok by then! I hope u feel better n have an awesome appointment w/your surgeon. :0) have a great Sunday and thanks for your sweet support! Hugs

I think u r right.

Hi fellow sleeve pals and sleevers to b, So I went out again with friends that don't know I had the surgery. They chose to go to javiers Mexican resturaunt. I was doing ok with the dinner I chose until I had to throw up but this was a stabbing pain on the back on the fight side with extreme tightness. I totally give up on eating out for now. I must continue to practice understanding my limits and my sleeve at home and also it is not easy when friends keep asking why I hardly ate and if I'm feeling ok and why I hardly drank my virgin mango margarita. I took two sips. I took three bites of my beans n ground chicken. I went to bathroom dying to vomit n it was full with a bathroom attendant so I got nervous n walked a round around the resturaunt hoping the urge n pain would go away. I'm wondering if the excitement n overwhelmingness of going out adds to the sleeve tension. I dunno but at the comedy club I did ok sipping on water and watching my friends eat our birthday dessert. At least I got fun gifts. N luckily my friends do Not drink alcohol. :0) right now my sleeve hurts a Lot all over. I did have the slimes n had to throw up (3) times when I got home tonight. The sleeve is making lots of noises. Anyhow, happy Sunday. Also I need to learn n practice this no sipping after or before eating rule. It's so important to do so!!

That sounds so refreshing right now.

Thank you!! I need to up the protein though! I hope u r feeling better with your sinuses and getting ready for your big day!! :0) have a great relaxing weekend. Hugs :0)

Congrats beautiful lady!! How much did u lose in how long? :0)

Down 30 pounds on exactly four weeks since surgery.

I hope you are all doing great today and have a happy weekend! Today I scrubbed n cleaned n washed my whole apartment, etc for exercise and it was a good workout just painful on right side. I'm going to attempt to chew my vitamins after a few days of taking a break from them. I feel dizzy sometimes so I took my anti naseau today and trying to drink more. Always check to see if the color of your urine is clear to determine whether u r drinking enough. I am not drinking enough. My right side hurts a lot but it's from bending and cleaning. I'm sleeping a little better these days, but it's still easiest to lay on my back to avoid nighttime aches in belly area. For thanksgiving I just had mushy turkey and barley stew which was my leftover today. :0) I find I crave cheeses lately. And yesterday I really wanted fruit, so I blended apple, pear, banana, ice and blueberry kefir milk into a smoothy. It was so good but I could only drink half the cup.

Uci medical in orange. U chose a great place to do your surgery! I'm very happy with my surgeon. I'm doing well today and thank you kindly for writing. Keep us updated!!! :0) hugs!!!!

Although I feel pain on the right side still on wk four and was catious n did a lot of testing thank goodness I've really had no issues post surgery. Of course a little vomiting n some eating n diet obstacles but that's how we learn I guess.
