I inboxed u my email. Hp. U feel btr soon

I dont know where to begin. This last month since my sleeve has beem so hard on me. Im still just nibbling n even when I do that I get a sense of restriction in my lower throat, upper stomach area. I generally do not 'feel good.' I keep hoping amd telling myself, give it time. When I came out of surgery I weighed 223. Now I'm at 192. That is my only joy. I wish I could be more enthusiastic like most threads I've seen but I can't yet. Again, maybe in six months. Rt now, I'm hard to live with bc #1 I don't feel good and #2 I'm a single mom of four n its been hard to work (my job is taxing to healthy individuals) so finances are getting slim. Please pray for me, those of you who are believers. I just want to feel normal again instead of feeling like I have a rock stuck somewhere. Im never 'hungry' im just empty n hurting, then after the smallest intake Im full of air n hurting. I chew so slow my jaws are tired but i still get gas n hv lost the ability to burp. Im still vomitting every day at least once, regardless of whether I've eaten or not n I'm very 'let down' by this process. If I had it to do over again, I would NOT. But again...ask me in six months. Wish I had a better post. I do enjoy reading all the wonderful posts here though.

Hey all! My name is Lesli. Im new to the forum and am just beginning what I hope will be an awesome journey of the rest of my life. Im officially scheduled for my VSG for 5/2/13! *claps hands* While Im very excited and hopefull, I am somewhat concerned amd very curious about life after surgery. I have a plan though. This nxt month I'm walking daily in anticipation of a good recovery. I'm also using a deep penetrating oil on my trouble areas (hoping to keep skin from sagging as much later). Im going to purchase an abdominal binder (I heard wearing one for a few months post op will reduce the severity of an apron..any testimonies on that subject?). Im also going to begin using a product that I respect to decrease the loss of lean muscle during rapid weight loss (will start this with my preop liquid diet but stop 2 days prior to surgery and restart after surg). I am planning to go bck one year postop for a mommy makeover. Im hoping my plan goes smoothly. Please lift me up n prayer as I begin this journey. Any suggestions from the experienced VSGs are welcome! Amd good luck n prayers to all the fellow journeymen!
