Hungry?!
I am a week out and I have to make myself drink and eat so I would definitely check into dehydration or the acid reflux. I feel bad for you and will pray that you get your sleeve figured out. I wish it was the same for everyone. Them we could just use directions. Don't get discouraged you will succeed!!!

Go on a cruise Be able to eat at fancy restaurant and not have to eat taco bell on the way home because, I'm starving. Wear a swimsuit without being embarrassed Shop at a store that has no plus sizes.

My white count is through the roof and they said that leaks mimic pneumonia symptoms. I am having a CT scan and a leak test shortly. Plus I'm having a Doppler of my left arm which is severely swollen and painful. My dr said that I would feel appending doom if leakage that severe depressing can be a symptom of a leak.

Today Is My Day!
They let me leave with a low grade fever. I am not really nauseous but, the few times I've been sick feeling I smelled alcohol wipes and it cured the nausua. I kept down 30 cc of tomato soup and 30cc of pudding my water intake is the worst . It's so hard to try to get it but I'm too ful.

Today Is The Day
- Sleeve 9/3 Anyone?
That's awesome!!! Keep us updated!!!- Today Is My Day!
They are letting me do full liquid diet at 30ccs a time. I am on some new meds because, I am running a fever so my dream of going home tomorrow have been derailed.- Here I Am Just Waiting
I was scared too and it isn't pleasant but, not the worst pain in the world. I was allowed to have broth today a whole 1oz before I was stuffed. That gives me hope! Prayers for strength, joy, and peace. G- Today Is My Day!
Hiccups are bad too!!! I had one earlier that was so hard and unexpected that if I hadn't went potty I would have peed everywhere. Just walking around we pillow and relying on my 9 year old on errands - Sleeve 9/3 Anyone?
