About the soda, I was a Dr. Pepper junkie prior to surgery but I don't even miss it!!

I currently am suffering from a terrible cold. My first sickness since being sleeved. My sleeve is very gurgley. Feels full of bubbles or something. I don't feel like eating much. I have been concentrating on getting my fluids and vitamins in. Not worrying about forcing the protein in while i am sick and the surgeon says thats fine and few days won't kill me. Also, my sleeve tolerates most foods. So chicken soup and low fat ritz crackers would sit fine.

I had it too. Same side and all. Very common.

It's because of all the liquids. It will be fine. It will stop as you change in to food stages with more substance.

It feels like heart burn times 100. AND, food can literally come up and sometimes out in to your mouth. Burping doesn't help. And it made me nauseous at times.

It also washes the food out of your sleeve faster making u hungrier more often and repetitively stuffing food plus liquids in the sleeve at the same time can lead to expanding it over time.

I get heartburn still. It was terrible pre surgery and a little better after but still there. I am 3 months out.

If u find a way to manufacture one, make me your first customer!!! I like it!!

I am 3 mths out. I slept lots the first few weeks. Don't beat yourself up about the fluids. It's all overwhelming for several weeks. Just do the best u can and concentrate on sipping and getting your Protein in. Watch the color of your urine. As long as it doesn't get dark you are doing ok!! It gets better!

I would like to know as well. Since I started exercising last month, I have small bruises everywhere also.

I couldn't lift more than ten lbs for 6 weeks. My surgeon warned that doing any more could cause a hernia near the incision they used to pull the old stomach out. Be careful.
