girl you got this! i know its frustrating but hang in there. The Water will help. Do what they say and remember Phil. 4:13. He will help you

I've read that too, but I'm not going to drink the carbonated beverages just because to do. I would die if my stomach did stretch so I am going to play it safe. No carbonated beverages for this woman! I love my small stomach as it is.....

Don't be so hard on yourself! Sounds like you had a huge disappointment in not getting to set your date. Don't let it get you so down. We all have our days...or months, in my case. Good news is, you can always start again. Go do something for yourself that will make you happy, and then resolve to do better. And keep heart! Several months from now, I will be confessing my failures on this diet adventure too. We are all in this together.

Oh Diamond! I've been wanting to post just this for two weeks now. Some time yesterday, 25 days out, I feel like I really started to turn the corner to something that looks/feels like myself again. My patient support person posts about the 10 day phenomenon, that at about 10 days out the hormones and frustration just come home to roost... you're right on time as was I!
As so many will tell you, you're normal, it's a process and you'll find your new normal soon. That said... it sucks for the time being and it's okay.
I'll tell you what... indulge in the buyer's remorse for today. Sometimes we need to do that for our hearts. We had VSG, not a lobotomy, our heads have to catch up.

I was sleeved on the 23 and have had the same pain and pressure you guys are talking about. I am starting to notice that pain or pressure below my heart is slowly starting to get better each day. I think not knowing how its going to be for the rest of my life made this a little more troublesome to me. I was afraid its going to "hurt" every time I eat from now on. I am still sure the sleeve was the right choice for me. I know in a few weeks when all of the soreness and pain is over, I will say like everyone else I know that has had this procedure, that I would do it again in a heartbeat. Hope you are all feeling better soon.

I was sleeved 1-14. 4-5 days in I felt so much better! I am 12 days in and feel great now!!!

I was sleeved on 12/28. It took about 4 days for the majority of the pain to go away. Three days later I was back at work with no pain. Be careful about what you eat. I didn't know it, but I was causing myself gas pains by eating sugar free popsicles (they contain sugar alcohols that my stomach didn't like) and sugar free Jell-O (don't know what sugar substitute they use, but my stomach didn't like it either). The only thing I could safely eat for the 1st 2 weeks was low carb Protein Shakes, cream of chicken and cream of mushroom Soup.< /p>

Eventually the pain will go away. During the first week I felt everything I drank go down my throat and had pain in my back from it. It went away. Just keep sipping slowly and walk. You are doing fine. Remember your body has just been through major surgery, it will heal but it takes time.

I am only four days post op and noticed the cramping earlier in the week but now I use a spoon so I make sure that I take small sips. Popsicles didn't sit good with me until last night. Just take it slow ...I got in 45 g of Protein by doing going slow and using the spoon. Good luck to you.

The pain will go away in a about week. Take very small sips and hurts less. You will never eat or drink the same way again. I'm 6 weeks and I still need to remember to take small bites and sips. Everything is swollen that's why it hurts. It'll go away soon.
