I think it's pretty normal for you to feel that "OMG, what did I do?" feeling for a little bit. It's a major life change. From people more than 6 months out, it seems like most people are VERY happy with their decisions. I am looking forward to being in a place where I feel the same way!

Well... I'm definitely not your doctor, but that's exactly what I had going on and they didn't think it sounded like a leak when I told them. That's why they specified those problems at rest. I agree with kshepa that it could be very well dehydration (I know that is a contributing factor for me). Mine has gotten better as I've been able to increase my Protein and Fluid intake. Still have my moments, but at least it's a step in the right direction.

I was sleeved on March 13. Down 25 pounds right now. Been doing pretty good pain wise, no pain meds since a few days after surgery!! If I could get the nausea roller-coaster under control, life would be great! When I talked to my surgeon about it, I was told to just do the best I could and not stress about the "goal" amounts all the time. I can't tell you what a relief that was. Now, I try to get in goal amounts of protein and liquids, but if I don't... I know I will try again tomorrow. Everyone heals differently, so if your journey is not as fantastic at others at first, give yourself time... it can only get better!! Also, SOOO excited to eat some soft foods starting Wednesday. Never thought I'd be so excited for cottage cheese and eggs!

I was sleeved on the 13th also. I notice I have those problems as well (especially if I am not able to get in enough protein or fluid for one reason or another). I don't know if that's the case for you, but maybe it will help. If you notice these things when you're at rest, I would have it checked out because they can also be a sign of a leak. Not to frighten you, but I think it's good to be aware of. When in doubt, always a good idea to get it checked out. Hope you start feeling better soon!!

I was sleeved March 13th. Anyone else struggling to get the protein drinks down? I didn't have a problem with them on the pre-op diet, but I am probably only getting half the amount I'm "supposed" to get in each week. Other than that, doing really good!! Thanks!
