Hey Kelly~ I could have written these same words as your post. I just signed on here because I am feeling the SAME as you. I was sleeved on April 30th and have lost 34 pounds and nothing more...I know it's a journey and there's so much that is different with every person. I TRY not to compare but find myself doing it too often. Just wanted to let you know that you are most DEFINITELY not alone. Get the myfitnesspal app if you can...I DO believe it helps. My user name is DeLongWayHome for anyone who uses it and wants to add me. I'd love some support and to help support as well. Hang in there, Kelly, don't give up the faith.

Hi Becky, Glad you are here! You will find so much great information here and amazing helpful people. Congratulations on your decision.

Oh my stars, that was funny!!!

I sent him a private message about 20 30 min ago but haven't heard anything.

thank you so much for your response. Yes, it does hit you like a brick! I haven't had B12...but starting today I WILL. In fact going to get it right now! thanks again

I'm so glad you posted about this. I just did a search on the forum for "sleepy" and found your post. This is exactly what happens to me...except I'm at home and so just continue to sleep. It's a crazy deep sleep that just hits me and as much as I try I can not stay awake. I have to pick up my grandson this afternoon and have my alarm set for 4:00 because I'm so scared I'll be asleep. I was diagnosed as pre diabetic too so I'm wondering if that does have something to do with it. How are you all doing now? Have you seen improvememnt with time or any difference with types of food? I'm 14 days today and so thankful for this forum.

tyvette Like everyone else said...it WILL get better. I'm 13 days out and it's getting better for me. Today is the first day I haven't slept all day. I wondered the same thing, not regretting but wondered, when will I feel better? It's hard to read posts sometimes when you see people feeling so good and it's 3 or 4 days out for them and they feel great. I even had a friend, who had the surgery on a Thursday and was back to work on a Monday, ask me what's wrong with me? Just take this time and make yourself drink...or for me like so many others, the Popscicles are one of the main ways I'm getting liquids. Watch for signs of dehydration and if you really think you are, get to the ER. Hang in there

same here, just walked in the door and went straight here to see if there was an update.

Like Mina said, definitely get some ointment with zinc in it....I was miserable after doing the prep before surgery...in so much pain and everything else burned but the zinc will feel amazing. For sure Gatorade and how about sf Popsicles... Just trying to think of some way to get liquid. I had it tonight for the first time sincesurgery and not sure why. Hope you feel better soon.

Soooo glad you didn't wait around and that your Dr had you go to the ER. I know you must be worried but you are there in the hospital and they will take care of whatever is going on, so that's a good thing. Isn't it crazy how something like ice water can be so good!!! Hang in there. Sending prayers for healing for you.

Congratulations!! That's so awesome!

Jimmy, I don't think you should wait around if you are having pain. At least put a call in to your Dr. But if it's pain that you haven't had since surgery or if it's more intense I would head to the ER. Please update when you can. Lisa

YAY Kelly!! I KNOW you are not going to miss it. Glad you are feelig better!

So funny shrinkinmama, I just got on here to see if she did and how she was doing.

Yaaaaaaay!! Congratulations! Keep walking...the gas will get better.
