Great job! I hope I am as successful as you.

Thanks Kwlinam, we should definitely try to stay positive. These crazy hormones and emotions are boing off the walls! I know it's going to get better. Today I'm going to focus on getting my fluids in and walking. Tracey I would love to know what the med is that would delay gallbladder problems. That would be great if you could post it after your appointment. Thanks everyone. I love this site, all the support is great. Good luck to all of you and God Bless!

Thanks Dorrie. I'll try the Gatorade, you're right, I should stay focused on keeping my body hydrated.

I definitely regret surgery so far. I was sleeved June 26th and I survived the first few days of severe nausea and went home on the 28th. I was walking getting most of my liquids and Protein in and feeling pretty good. However, the last few days I've been having pain from my breastbone to the center of my back. I had the pain all night the last few nights. I haven't been able to drink or eat hardly anything these last couple of days. I've stopped walking, I have no energy, and I feel really weak. I went for my one week check-up today, actually ten days, and I've lost 26 pounds. The doctor said I'm losing too fast and I'm slightly dehydrated. He prescribed Prevacid for the pain. He said it sounds like my gallbladder. If the Prevacid doesn't work I may have to have my gallbladder removed. I'm so scared I'm going to have to have another surgery. It's way too soon. My body hasnt healed from the sleeve yet. So yes, I'm definitely regretting my sleeve for now. I cried all the way home from the dr. wishing I didn't do this to my body. I started at 271 and I'm down to 245. Yes, I've lost weight, but at what cost? Sorry to be so negative.....I'm praying this will pass and I will start getting stronger.

I had my surgery last Tuesday and I've been feeling pretty good. I've been getting my liquids and protein I n for the most part. Yesterday I started having pain in my largest incision on the right side whenever I breathe in. I was doing the spirometer really well until yesterday. Now it hurts a lot whenever I do it or breathe in. Is this normal? I didn't have this pain the first few days. Anyone have pain when you breathe in?
