    Omg, our stats are extremely similar.....my birthday is in August, I was sleeved on 2/27, I started at 267, preop I was at 251, and I also have a sleeve of steel.....lol....I am down to 219, but we can do this!!!!! The only thing that's different is you can drink Protein shakes...I can't....I tried again last week and lost it...I believe the whey gets to my sleeve... Don't worry...we will be fine!!!!

    Actually, I am not shocked but my friends that struggle with weight have been....different....counting there calories in front of me....telling me how little they are eating....inspecting my body everytime I see them.....it is a little weird....it feels like a competition..

    Unfortunately, one that no one will win because I am only 3 weeks out and have lost over 35 lbs due to a slight complication. I don't want this to be a competition but I see this going south....fast

    I am only about 2 and 3 sizes away from them and I am afraid when I am no longer the "biggest", it will be different....is there something I should do or say now...this is my closest group of friends on the daily and I would hate to change our relationship.

    Reading this thread has been very good for me......I hope the op has found some relief since January. I am 3 weeks out and not. Holding down Water. Vomiting bile and blood has increased and I plan to go to doctors today when my husband drops off the kids at school. I was gonna wait until Monday, my doctor was concerned at our visit Monday, but the blood and bile has increased and I am not gonna sit here and suffer for nothing. I also can't sleep so thoughts of how it sucks that others are returning to work and feeling great sort of depresses me. It reminds me that I am not normal and I never dreamed I could be the one to have complications. I think it is very important that everyone going into this know this surgery is fantastic....when there are no complications......and if you haves it back for the ride.

    I will figure this out and deal with it, but I can honestly say I would have not ever done this had I really thought about the complications. I barely move from my bed, my husband is lonely because I am basically a vegetable, my kids miss there mother and how I am supposed to return to work in 2 weeks beats me.

    My biggest hope is in 2 months I will look back on this post and laugh at myself for being a whiner. .....hopefully

    make sure you drink a lot...the first day home' date=' i vomitted a lot of brown stuff...i figure its dry blood from surgery. and had diarhea the first day home and seem to clear all that gunk out of my stomach and felt fine since then.....so maybe try to keep sipping Water to help clear out your system. i thought about how it took the barium swallow a few seconds to go thru your tiny tummy and i use that as a guideline for how much and often to sip. hope this helps and everything goes well for you.[/quote']

    I am hydrated and have no problems going to the bathroom to pee, it's just that when I have those episodes of vomiting ( I have had like 4) when ther is no clear slime liquid out of nowhere comes this gross.....I had the dry blood...that isn't it....could this be what is lining my thrat and the reason I can't tolerate anything?

    Wen it cone out I am fine....but I know about 1/2 hour enforce it happens...I feel super gross in my throat.....thanks for all the responses..

    I had my surgery about 3 weeks so & I'm still stuck on liquids. I'm having a hard time keeping liquids down & any meds I take. My problem seems to be' date=' I have a lot of mucous stuck in my throat so I gag on whatever it is I take in. I've had a barium swallow done so it's not coming from my stomach. I'm just so frustrated & feeling very down because it's taking a lot out of me. Has anyone ever had this problem? I've tried different allergy meds & nothing works. Waiting to hear from my surgeon as I write this but I'm not expecting much...[/quote']

    Jenn, I am 2 weeks in and also can only tolerate ice chips....everything else comes up....I foam at the mouth all day...it's really un attractive....I had my appt with doctor today and he said if by next week I am still not able to hold anything down...we will do another gi test and he will put the tube down to confirm I am open.....hope it doesn't come to that....are you stuck on liquids or just Water.....if u can have flavors. And tea and birth, I am jealous ...I can't even hold that down:(

    Thank you for the responses. Last night I got some Gas X strips and that seems to have helped a lot! The pain is still there' date=' but not nearly as painful as it was. I see my doctor on Monday, so hopefully by then things will have worked themselves out. Here's praying to better times ahead! Thank you again :)[/quote']

    I am 8 days out and the same for me. My gas pains are extreme..so extreme I am still only able to chew ice.....pedialyte pops are still coming up...My heartburn is horrible....i spoke to my doc.....he said I am very tight and day by day I will see better days...I must say, it's true.

    This too shall pass...in a few weeks we will be great....I am positive

    This is what I am holding on to....lol....seriously,trying to stay upbeat while I watch those come and go. I am about 60 lbs from this picture..btw....so ...nyway....I'm rambling on now....

    Okay, I am still here because my sleeve is still so tight I can't hold anything without throwing it up. They will not release me if I can't hold liquids. I have tried Water, ice chips and sugar free Jello so far. It is all coming up in a froth. Has anyone experienced this and will my sleeve release me to at least ice chips....I gotta break outta this joint...lol....I feel just fine other wise. My dc did give me 2 pumps of steroids to open it up a bit...but I am not sure if it's working....any advice.....I think I am really anxious to start my new life. So excited.....has anyone else gone through this?...a little advice....thanks

    I am on day 3, still in the hospital because I am very swollen and not holding liquids so, they will keep me here on I've until that happens. I am very happy with that, I am in no rush to get home to get dehydrated so if they want to take care of me now, heyi will take it. I can't imagine being on full liquids, but wow, great to here u guys moving right along. I am just grateful to be on the losers bench...I truly did t think this would happen...so,so happy!!!!!!

    I am a month out and I have lost 30 lbs but I've been stuck on this weight for like 2 weeks. When I weight myself i either a pound more or a pound less. This is very frustrating. Am I going to lose more weight? Is this a stall? I don't know! Please help!

    Jennifer, I am 3 days out so obviously this only advice.......but from what I read stalls are real and your body is going through a transformation. Please try to be a little patience and I am sure it will move again. Also try measuring yourself....lots of subscribers says that is where the change happens.....good luck...30 lbs in a month...that is pretty awesome!!!
