    Soon2bmzthin' date=' you still reading? Please tell me how you're doing? I'm sorry we never got to go to Walmart, I was just so tired and Pam had a Migraine.

    I was sleeved march 2nd and my biggest problem is the acid. I just can't get it under control.

    I've had a couple crying spells, which is hormones and life both. I have 6 young children to care for and some days I wonder what the heck I was thinking, doing this when they still need mama so much. When I wake in the morning I feel so weak and I really have no choice bit to get them ready for school am get the little 2 fed and diapers changed. Sigh. Thank goodness for glucose tablets.

    I'm actually drinking "regular" drinks instead of low cal, drs orders. Fine with me, I HAVE to have energy. As long as I have a little Protein in my day, it seems to be working for me.

    This is just plain hard!? Did any of you feel as if it would be easier than this? I'm not craving specific foods, I just feel like I need substance in my tiny tummy. My stomach hurts near constant from what I'm going to call hunger. Not head hunger, bonefied HINGER. maybe it's acid bit it feels like hunger and I feel like I'm starving.[/quote']

    Hey Amy, its ok I knocked early out and had to leave the next morning at 6am.

    I also have had a few crying episodes and also have thought maybe I should not have done this with my son being so small.

    When I got back home all he wanted was mommy to bathe, feed, carry him. So its been hard.

    So i just had a mini melt down crying and wondering why i did this to my body and if it was the right thing to do. I guess just feeling really emotional today and gettin gcaught up in the discomfort and all the suckieness that is the first few weeks post op. Anyone else felt this way? :(

    I was sleeved March 2, I also had a melt down this past Saturday March 9 exactly one week post OP. I had those same thoughts. Today is day 10 and I feel a whole lot better. Our bodies, minds and lives are going through a lot of changes and it could be overwhelming, but it does get better.

    I was sleeved yesterday. My gas pain is over the top right now! I am in significant pain as well. I'm hoping this all goes away soon. Surgery went well so that is a plus. We were told my husband and I could stay in the same room together and that isn't happening. I am sharing a room with another lady and her husband. My husband slept in the entry area last night. I'm on the count down to 2PM today. I really want some ice chips.< /div>

    I was right there where you are 5 days ago. I can tell you everyday it gets better. Especially when you are back home in your own space it gets easier. I also had a lot of reflux afterwards and had to get some tums. Hope this helps! Wishing you a speedy recovery! :)

    Ok, so my expirience so far was a nice one. In recovery I gave Dr.Luna a little laugh as I was still "tripping" lol and first thing I heard when I woke up was 2chainz bad b lol , once the anesthesia startded wearing off I was in a lot of pain (gas pain) , a whole lot of nausea. But the nurses have been great in giving me meds like clock work.

    Today I feel a lot better, did the leak test earlier today which was nasty, then a few hours later the second leak test with the blue die which was nasty also, but upside to that is now I get to have ice and gatorade.

    Surprisingly the drain does not bother me, but the gas is horrible so I have started to use my gas x strips today and they have helped a bit. I also got to bathe, and now jsut wait til tomorrow for discharge to the hotel.

    I think thats about it, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. :)

    By the way... My husband can kiss my ass any day of the week because if there is one thing he can't control is my hard earned money... I'm paying for my surgery with my own money I have been saving. Every time I saved before we had to use it for something for the house or family' date=' not this time sorry. I save 5000 to do this and wether I do it or not he can't talk to me about money.

    He has not been supportive in any freaking way

    Not economically or emotionally so again... Kiss my ass, I can tell you this process has been real tough and disappointing. We on risking grounds as you can see lol. I have been re evaluating why we are together...If I can't have your financial, physical or emotional support why the hell are you around smh?

    He's a great dad and person and all but this has brought things to light that i do not like and even if we can get past it... Is embedded in my soul.[/quote']

    This totally sounds like my husband, and here I am at the airport about to head to San Diego for surgery. Also coming back to a me life I told him to move out! :)
