    smtaarrie got a reaction from Angelmom in Issues Three Days Post Op.   
    I was sleeved on august 29th and I've having a hard time gettin in my liquids. I only got 22oz today.
    My belly is growling insanly! I think I'm pregnant with triplets or something and they are fighting! Sipping feels uncomfortable everything kinda sticks in my chest for a few minutes then works down. Gas pain or air is still an issue too. I wanna burp but can't it hurts! Chest pressure sucks!
    Are all these common?? Should I be freaking out??

    I agree! This is going to be the best journey for us all and I wish all of you the best of luck! I've been very open about my surgery with everyone and really don't care what they say. I'm an open person anyway this isn't be admitting failure it me asking for help and I've came a long way and will continue to work for where I need to be. That's my attitude about it :-) you can keep up with me via message, facebook, or even test/phone if you want to be "vsg buddies" :-) have a great day! Almost time for work here

    I'm allowed 100g of protein in the form of powder protien mixed with fat free milk or water (four or five shakes) per day and all I'm allowed besides that is clear liquid. Water..broth..crystal light..popsicles ( sugar free) and sugar free jello. I'm so scared! Lol seems like a lot of nothing for two weeks. I'm oh so ready for surgery august 29th though!!

    And of course I've been calling everyday since. Today they said ill get an answer by friday! I'm so nervous I have a bmi of 47 pcos and insulin resistant but no other health issues so I'm so scared of being denied. I do have family history of high bp..bs...cho...and heart disease. Ahh this wait seems longer and more stressful then the work up appointments! Lol
