i did have a uti. i am on some antibiotics now. since i still cannot swallow pills they had to find something that could be crushed and i am also allergic to sulfa so that made it extra difficult. the first antibiotic they gave me made my face bust out in rashes so i just got a new liquid one this evening. praying this goes away quickly!!!

im 17 days post op and 20 pounds down. You will eventually hit a stall in your weight loss because your liver has to catch up with what is happening on the inside but one day youll be done 3 pounds and the stall will be over. I still feel like it wont work but that is foolish thinking because it obviously is. Do not give up hope!!!

I prayed right along with you. This process is not easy and things may not always be constant but God is always there and never changes. You are right when you say he already knows everything... what we have done, what we will do and what we wont. This was so uplifting even though you are struggling. I am praying for you. I have becoming really emotional and realized that i viewed food as a friend and i feel like i have lost it. It will be back eventually. Don't get discouraged or lose hope.

this is my first surgery ever!! so everything is new to me. thanks for all the responses!

ive been reading between day 5-10. So i am hoping sooner than 2 weeks. My sister had this done in August and she looks incredible. It's great seeing her and knowing ill be there eventually. She never really dealt with the gas issue which makes me so jealous but hey its great to know that at least ONE other person understands.

I was sleeved on tuesday and our stories seem very similar. I am glad you are starting to feel better today (knowing you are one day farther along than me) because today I am not feeling the greatest. I slept for 8 good hours in 4 hour sessions but since have had terrible gas and some nausea. Sipping on fluids hasn't really been a huge issue. Just wanting to feel better.
