  1. I was sleeved in Mexico with a couple friends of mine we all have the same problem I was sleeved on April 23 I can't hold anything down at all Popsicles that's all seriously I've seen 2 doctors and they both say I had a wonderful surgeon but I get grossed out big time with whatever I try I am not overwatering I can't even eat 2 tablespoons of anything


  2. I got sleeved in April 22 no morphine told them I didn't want any cuz when I awoke a nurse came in with a syringe and put some in my iv I was so sick and pissed I yanked the iv out cuz I didn't trust the b***h I was just fine my other two friends did the same and we were fine this one lady kept getting the morphine so she was too dizzy to walk was puking and all put of it from not walking she developed a lot of gas


  3. Hey gang I'm really having a hard time this week in eating. I have zero motivation to eat anything and find it such a chore. I'm doing terribly on my calorie and Protein intake. I'm getting in about 400 calories a day. Any suggestions on what to do. Getting to 900 calories a day is so very hard.

    I feel the same ur lucky to be getting 400 food discuss me it's more than a chore now I hate eatting


  4. I had my surgery last Monday' date=' so 7 days post op now. Still on full fluids with some apple sauce and yogurt and such added in.

    I felt fine up to yesterday when I just had NO energy at all and then again today, along with some nausea. Haven't been able to eat much of anything today, just trying to keep liquids in.

    I know people says its normal to feel regret in the first couple weeks. Did you? Does it really get better? I just want to eat a normal (smaller) meal.

    I do want, and need, to lose weight. And I'm trying to keep reminding myself why I did this but it's getting really damn hard and depressing.

    How did you feel early post op? How is your life farther out now?[/quote']

    Have u lost any weight yet


  5. My surgery is Monday too. I'm feeling basically the same way. I'm realizing I should have asked a lot more questions at my pre-op appointment. My best friend is having surgery next month so that kind of helps. But she's using a different hospital and has been told different things. Like-she was old 2 weeks liquid diet and mine said 3 weeks 1200 calories with 2 cheat days then 2 days of liquids. I've also tried powdered Protein and hate it. I ended up stocking up on Naked and Bolthouse Protein drinks. I figure it's better to take in some extra calories than no protein at all??

    You wrote that your taking gas x strips? What for? Should I do that? I was told chewable vitamins' date=' calcium citrate and B12. I've heard to take in anywhere from 50-90 grams of protein. What's recommended?

    What do all if you recommend we have at home? What should I have ready for my return?

  6. Hi everyone!

    I'm shooting to get my surgery the beginning of June. I'm excited...but I'm also nervous because I know this is a huge deal. I was wondering if any of you had second thoughts once you decided to do this? And then after you went through with it...how is it for you now?

    Thanks <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
