Yup !!!! Exactly

I had it the first 2 days after surgery and had exactly the same feeling, what have got myself into. But now I am better. I am Day 5 post surgery. Still only taking broth and dilute juice. Have trouble taking supplement, I think I have lactose intolerance. Tomorrow will try lactose free supplement.

Ask the dr to prescribe an antispasmotic. I took hyoscyamine and it was a lifesaver. Try drinking warm stuff (even heat up your Protein shake). Hope you feel better very soon.

Squats, squats, squats!!!!

My date is December 29. I'm getting very nervous even considering changing my mind. My dad, and all my other family members keep telling me I don't need the surgery and I just need to work with a nutriionist/eat less and exercise more. So we'll see what happens but for now I'm on for the 29

Woke up feeling great. Thought I would be able to get things done today. By noon I was gripping my tummy and I had only taken a nap. I hate when I get tricked like that. I mean I felt like me. The old me! I have lost 23 pounds in 2 weeks. 9 pounds since surgery. Really happy about this choice even with the pain.

I have lowered my pain medication to twice a day. Hoping to switch to just Tylenol after the staples come out! Still hurting but it's semi manageable but it is worse at night time cause I can't get comfy!

Just want to say that because cream of wheat (or any "new" food that doesn't sit well the first time you try it post-op) bit you today, in a month or two it might cause you no problems at all.

Has anyone used prenatal Vitamins for the Hair loss? My NUT told me that I can take them for my Multivitamin. I used them after I had my son when I started to lose locs (I had locs until march of this year when I combed them out). I know some people can't stomach them but they may be of some help.

Now that you say that, it makes so much sense. Thank you

thank you for the warning. i also did sugar free EVERYTHING...and post surgery i was in so much pain, feeling sick...you name it, i was it! found out the artificial sweetners were causing bloat, headaches and extreme thirst! i got rid of EVERYTHING sugar free about 4 days post op. if i NEEDED it to be sweetened, i added minute amounts of real sugar. what a lifesaver!!! within 2 days, it was like i was a new person i felt so much better.
my Sleevie hated fake sugars post surgery. now i'm healing much better and tolerate them--but they are so unhealthy, i just stick to tiny amounts of real sugar, or i Water things down.

My doc recommended sugar free Popsicles to help hydrate post op but I've found that most brands have sugar alcohol in them. I stopped eating them yesterday and gas pains have been greatly reduced. ( sugar alcohols cause gas in many people)
If you are recently sleeved, eating SF Popsicles and can't get rid of gas, sugar alcohol may be contributing to some of it. It seemed to be for me.

My big day is tomorrow, mi band was removed a month ago and tomorrow im getting the sleeve, after reding some of the post I feel really anxius and scare. but i guess I am getting a second opportunity, I'm staying on night and Im a little confuse, with the band I have felt Stocked but is how you feel with th sleeve? im praying everything goes well, wish me luck in this journey!

The BIG day comes tomorrow, I am so scared and nervous. I hear good stories and then I hear the bad stories and I have not hardly slept in 2 nights ???? I can see today at work will probably crawl and tonight will probably be sleepless. I am all packed and ready to go, no backing out at this point and I don't think my fiancé would let my fear get the best of me anyway - he is amazing support.

Hi guys! My name is Ashlee. I'm scheduled for my sleeve on dec 29th. I'm really excited, but realize I have to really watch what I eat! I have 1 more week of the high Protein diet then to the liquid diet.

@@scstxrn thank you for your advice. Today marks the first day I'm able to constantly sip without feeling intense gas pain. So that's a win today! Although I fear I'm a bit dehydrated because (tmi) urine is very dark. So I'm really going to give liquids my best shot today.

@@WRIGHTLE Yes my surgery was on Monday, December 15th. Just 3 days post op. I'm struggling with my liquids. Hopefully it'll get better soon. The trapped gas is horrific for me and nausea. I vomited (sorry for the tmi) horribly as soon as I got to my room after my procedure. I've had issues with nausea coming in waves ever since. I also vomited a bit today.
I noticed that I'm very particular with smells and textures of foods right now. Hopefully it's because my stomach is a little weak right now. The only thing that's somewhat agrees with me is warm tea, crystal light, and Popsicles. Lol. I have this Isopure drink from the Vitamin Shoppe I'm using to try to get some Protein in, but one bottle has lasted me three days, lol.

Hope everything went well with your procedure.

Hiya i was sleeved on 12-2-14 a little over two weeks.... And i have no pain as far as my tummy is concerned...When it comes to eating and drinking now heres the problem...oh i get it down but it hurts going down..Good luck!!

I was thinking the same thing. I have no energy. I am constantly sleeping cause of my medicine. Have to take that. I thought I would try walking around Walmart today but fell asleep to the idea ha.

Is anybody just exhausted? I saw someone say they walked the mall already??? Holy cow the bathroom and back makes me tired! My Dr requires a full week of Clear Liquids only so I think that's part of the problem... Just not taking any calories or nutrition in..

@@klandes89 We had the same date.

Ibe had no issues so far. My liquids are a small issues but, hopefully I will have that mastered in a couple of weeks. Has pains were intense the 1st 2 days but, not so much anymore. Im super excited about how much weight I'll lose this 1st week ????
