My doctor gave me a RX for Ursodiol-300mg that he had me take from day 1. So far so good, knock on wood!

OMG, hope you are feeling better soon!

You look amazing! You look way younger now! Good job

Hope today gives you the answers you need to get out of there and back on your feet ASAP!!

I was sleeved on October 30th, am not getting in all my water. Prior to surgery I loved water and coffee, now I can't stand the taste of either one. I have tried adding flavoring (MIO) and other brands that I use to love now can't stand the taste as well! I have not exercised yet, but hoping in the next week to have my hip and back pain better. Sometimes I forget to eat (which believe it or not was a huge problem before the surgery) I know I should eat but I am just not hungry! I've been eating reg food these past few days and that makes a big difference mentally, I feel like I am somewhat normal. My first month was hell only because I ended up with HORRIBLE hot flashes and just having my body get use to not have 27 different medication in my body. I was exhausted most of the days and my joints were killing me. I need to remind myself to eat and chew slowly!

Good Luck! Dec 19th is a good date (my birthday!) Glad you were able to find a doctor you feel comfortable with. Good to hear you have a great support system, that will really help you succeed!

Oh my that is the reason why I am having such horrible hot flashes!

I saw my sleep ap Dr yesterday and she said after surgery the machines need to be recalibrated because the air pressure is too high. She also said my mask needs to be smaller as well.

Hope it is nothing serious, please keep us posted. Hope you feel better soon

Hi Krissy, I was sleeved on Oct 30th and YES I felt the same way. I did not want to eat and couldn't get all my liquids in, but popsicles really helped me out. I would get up and just walk from my bedroom to the kitchen and I was exhausted! I was so uncomfortable for about 2 weeks and my energy level in these past few days has gotten so much better. I am eating somewhat "normal" food and that has helped me out a lot. I can now drink water and even gulped a few times! I kept thinking what have I done! But now those thoughts are gone. Hang in there cuz it DOES get better.

Sleeved on October 30 and I am finally starting to have more energy and I am able to eat some dinner with the family! Popsicles are always on hand.

I have pain in my right hip also! I was thinking it was because I had a hip replacement in 2010 and then the rod came loose and had to have a revision in 2011. I've been doing my exercises I got from physical therapy. I was getting scared that I would have to have ANOTHER revision, now I can hope it will just one day go away. I wake up at least 4 times a night due to pain.

Biotene works real good. I also have sjogrens syndrome which leaves my mouth dry. Biotene is a toothpaste and mouth wash. Maybe that would work for you as well.

Thank-you…I have Lupus and Sjogren's Syndrome on Monday's I take a form of chemo pills, so my immune system is low…maybe that has something to do with it as well.

I had my surgery on Oct 30 and I am on puree and drinking as much as I can. Popsicles are my new best friend. My problem is that with minimal movement, walking around the house I get hot where I need to go outside or strip some clothes off. I feel bad because I do not want to turn my heater on because of this and my poor husband freezes. I can only go to the store for a few minutes because I get hot and then feel exhausted. I have a appt tomorrow to have my vitamin levels checked.

I was sleeved on Oct. 30th and today is the 1st day I've been able to drink 1 protein drink! I am not hungry and my stomach feels like it is about to burst. My taste buds are off and everything tastes gross! Water even makes me nauseated. SF popsicles have been my life saver.

I was sleeved on 10/30/12 and I am feeling the same way. No energy and feeling like sh*t. I can get 2-3 teaspoon of food but am not hungry and my stomach feels like it can not hold 1sip more! I've made a appt with my regular doctor for tomorrow just to make sure things are going right.

He gave me Ursodiol 300mg capsule. I just sprinkle it in my cream of wheat and soup. But I do taste the bitterness of it.

I have to take a pill twice a day for the next 6mos to prevent gallbladder problems and kidney stones. Did your doctor prescribe anything for you to prevent this problem?

Surgery was on the 30th. I am still having a hard time eating all my food, went to my 2 wk post op appointment on Wednesday, I'm a little dehydrated and my blood pressure a little high. Hot flashes keep me up every 2 hrs, needless to say I am exhausted My doctor told me there was really no science behind the eating schedule and if I could tolerate eating cottage cheese and other foods on that list, to go for it. My NUT said "no". My taste buds are still off…have a hard time with the protein shakes and vitamins. Other than that I am so happy I did this!

So sorry this is happening to you. You are in my prayers and sending you positive thoughts.

My doc put me on 40mg of Pantoprazole,,,,Did you have this since day one of the surgery or is this something new? Pantoprazole is for GERD.

I am 10 days post and I am now able to drink cold water and take larger drinks. It really does get better. Good luck to you, just hang in there.

OMG, I can not wait to get back on my meds for this! I go from shivering to stripping all my clothes off as fast as I can. Which can be very embarrassing while shopping at Target! LOL…I told my sister my weight loss is from all the sweat! I sleep in another room because my husband can not stand the open window and fan blowing on us! I really hope this is over soon because if it wasn't for the hot flash and shivering cold, I would be doing much better! It has been in the 80's also, which definitely doesn't help!

I am having the same problem, the only thing I eat is Fage 0% yogurt with frozen strawberries. I am glad to see the post about Watermelon, that I did try and it stayed down. I will be call my NUT as well. Not to sound mean, because you do not want to see ANYONE have a hard time, but in a sense it does make me feel somewhat normal! I just want to skip this stage and go onto eggs or sweet potatoes..something! LOL Wishing all my October Sleevers much more success to come
