I think it's prob fairly common and I'm sorry your struggling, be careful u dont want to bust your tummy!!!!! I'd really recommend speaking to a therapist/counselor--- one who works with bariatric OR eating disorders only ---- professionally speaking it is imperative to try and eat the emotions triggers etc down before true weightloss can happen - I struggle w munchies and wanting something when I should not Take care of your self and if u do not have iinsurance or can't afford one then an intern can help--- but make sure it is in the eating disorder arena!! Good luck maybe try writing die. Triggers that make I eat want to eat And try to come to the realization that this is something u chose and sonething U Want u want to to do this u gave a choice - a therapist once told me once u realize it it is YOUR Choice...... It's easier to choose not let the emotions control u:) Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hi! So yesterday I decided I needed to stretch my back-- I have scoliosis and it was really hurting--- so I laid on my back in the bed and my legs slid out onto the floor and it was painful!! I'm stressed!! I've kinda been hurting since on my stomach-- could I have torn the staples or done damage?? I was worried about this at the hospital when I started walking and my nurse/ program coordinator said it wouldn't happen ..... Thoughts!!! Also when did stop hurting and feeling tightness I had the sleeve with hernia repair Thank you Sent from my iPhone using VST

Congrats I'm a newbie too - I was sleeved on the 25 th!! Have u thought of talking to a bariatric counselor counselor OR an eating disorder specialist?? The journey ahead of us us is more emotionally based than anything else! Good luck and congrats! I wish u the best-- Sent from my iPhone using VST

Question/concern: I am 1 week out---sleeved on the 25th-- and I keep reading that everyone one can only eat part if a Popsicle or 1/2 there lil jello or A few bites of yogurt or pudding etc..... I don't seem to have this issue-- I'm not really hungry and am still doing the clear liquids- I'm scared to move to quick and mess anything up . I can have a full Popsicle and jello etc I can easily have 2 oz of liquid at a time and in guess I'm worried that is not normal or something I'd wrong w me-- I've even accidentally drank big drinks instead of the lil sips that we should and it doesn't seem to bug me--- Will this be an issue later do u think? It just doesn't seem 'normal' like others experiences......, Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Aww sorry u had such rough time/ hope u are feeling a bit better now-- it will be better every day Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thank you all! I appreciate the answers I feel a bit better now and my temp is starting to lower Sent from my iPhone using VST

My temp is usually low- around 97.6 and now it is 99.4 so that feels high for me - I'm scared and can't reach the dr til Monday.. Any of u have fevers?? I never had the drain put in and it was relatively an uncomplicated surgery-- But I'm freaked out-- I've never had a bladder/ kidney infection-- or anything other than pneumonia, sinus, and bronchitis -advise?? I didn't want to take the liquid baby ibuprofen as if I have an infection I'd need to know-- but gave used a cool washcloth on forehead and neck-- Sorry just freaked out and scared Sent from my iPhone using VST
