Ive been sick since this past friday, nausea, diarrhea and heart burn that hurts like hell. I ended up at the er yesterday because i just couldnt get anything down, i wasn't vomiting just dry heving. but everytime i put something in my mouth the nausea got worse. It's been fustrating and i don't know how long it's gonna last. i keep thinking is it something i did when i went back to school 13 days after surgery i keep thinking maybe i pushed myself. On my days at school (3x a week) it was extremely difficult to get enough fluids and Protein in. I tried hard but it was tough. I made the difficult choice of withdrawing from my classes. I really need to get better and take care of myself. That's one of the big reasons why i wanted this surgery. Even the way I'm feeling right now i don't regret my choice. My primary doctors going to call me back in a couple of days to see how i'm doing right now i'm just drinking pedialyte. i just hope this nausea subsides soon..

Good luck tomorrow. I agree you won't wake up hungry. I had my surgery 3 weeks ago. Its strange you keep waiting but that hungry never creeps up. Again Good Luck.

Hi everyone i saw this forum and thought wow what a great way to talk to others who know just how i feel. I had my surgery on January 5, 2012 so i'm a little over 3 weeks out. I feel so much better but i do have my days. There are some where i just dont want to it and if i try i get nauseous. The surgery went great i really didn't have no problems. i was kept a couple extra days only because they were sure if i had a leak, but luckly everything was good. Home life has been so different i dont quite look at food the same way as i once had. And boy am i forced to deal with my feeling in a whole new way. i have had my ups and downs like when my daughter told my mom, " i wish mommy was her old self" boy did that bring up some guilty feelings. But she only 6 and one day she'll realize i did this to be here for her. My oldest daughter has protested about all the changes but i figure a healther life is a better life and she'll eventually get used to it and maybe some day thank me. I keep telling myself i did this for a reason and thats to be healther. I try my hardest not to just focus on the weigh loss but on the process of changing why i relyed on food so much. It's definatley a journey but i'm up for it. So i started out at 321 pound on the day of surgery and today i'm down to 295 so i Celebrate the fact that i'm no longer in the 3's. Some of my clothes have gotten big but i'm having a hard time letting them go. Yesterday my husband said time to give that one up. LOL so i did. I think i've just about gone down a size so I'm happy about that. i take it day by day but i also look forward to a future were i no longer have to hide who i am but to celebrate me.
