Dear blondebomb, I truly understand your predicament. I had sleeve on July 2013 and it's been WELL over a year and I still throw up almost every meal! It's horrible to feel slight hunger and to know you cannot eat. But I'm the one who chose this instead of all the excess weight I was carrying around. I feel your pain but I honestly have no good advice to offer you. I pray for all those going through the same thing. I'll be praying for you. Bless your heart.

I truly wish I had answers for you. I’m dealing with the very same thing. I was sleeved on July 25, 2013 and I’ve had a horrible time dealing with food - ALL foods. I am able to keep a Protein shake or half of one down, but not much more. I’m down about 74 lbs. but this is NOT the way I thought I’d be losing it. I had a EGD done last week and the doctor told my husband that my stomach appeared to be in good shape. I am so very worried. At first I was throwing up bright red blood, now I just immediately throw up anything I try to eat. After about three teaspoons full of anything I feel great pressure in my chest and up it comes. No more blood, thank God, but it is still daily. I’m tired, and my hair is beginning to be very dry (drier than before surgery) my skin itches a lot and when I scratch, wherever I scratch the blood comes to the surface. I feel good when I’m awake, but I’m tired, so tired. I believe I’m going for a second opinion, because I just don’t feel like this is what should be going on with me. I’m 63 and I’m too old for all this. It’s been depressing to say the least. Thanksgiving I had our whole family here, to the tune of over 300.00 and I could not eat a bite of anything and keep it down. But the doctor said I’m normal. So I guess it’s up to me to find out what is wrong here. If I can help you or answer any questions…let me know. I will be praying for you and all those with similar issues. Try to hang in there and at least keep Protein shakes in your fridge!! God Bless You.

Chrissy- my sleeve was July 25 - I'm not sure WHY but I CANNOT anything without throwing it up!! I CAN keep Protein shakes down- but not solid foods. Just tried a bit of hubby's omelet. And within ten minutes threw it up! Did you have any nausea befor your problem. ??

Dear Debbie - my surgery was on July 25. And YES I'm having horrible time eating anything! Burning pain I chest/ throat most of time! I've even thrown up blood because of intolerance to food!!! Made emergency call to doctor and they didn't seem worried- just said to stick with "soft" diet !! I know your frustration- if you like we can email each other for help... I will pray that all will be better soon!

When did u try the cool whip? It's delicious frozen-taste like ice cream ... How far out when u ate cool whip? Thanks julie

Anxiously scared!!

Anyone in North Carolina looking for Sleeve Sister??? I need one badly!! I'm only on day 5 but I can surely use some help! Thanks all

Lordy, I don't want to lose my hair!! I'm already blessed with thin hair and I can't spare not even one! I know I'm only five days post op, but I am having a horrible time drinking fluids. I am NOT hungry nor thirsty. I'm black and blue on my belly and that is my biggest problem! Anyone know what to do about that? This monring it woke me with itching on the bruising...go figure. I've only lost about 4 lbs and I'm someone down about that. I've not eaten MORE than I should, I've eaten less. But how do you force feed a 62 year old grandmaw?I can't wait until I can try some pureed items to kinda spice this up some. Is there something besides biotin to take to keep my hair. I've been on biotin for over 4 months pre op. Thank you all for comments and I wish you a blessed day!

YES!! I am so ready - just recd call from hospital and my surgery is at 7am. Please pray for me just a tad nervous!!

Hi Lorie ! I can feel your excitement!! It's a new me, a healthier me! Can't wait to do this! Praying for us! God bless you - Julie
