  2. Totally understand where you are coming from. I am 10 days post op today & I feel much better. Still have air in my left shoulder as well, when I burp or hiccup I feel it most. I wasn't able to get any fluids either, but it is so much better now. I notice everyday that I am able to get more & more down. I still miss food, chewing, & a different taste! But I do understand that I won't be stuck on liquids forever, I will be able to have real food soon... It's rough.... I actually posted on here too a few days after, saying I regret it..... It's rough, I promise it gets easier! Good luck!

  6. YES! That is killing me too, especially seeing everyone eat around me... It's really hard... I have a 3 year old, her food was never "appetizing" to me, as it is healthy, "toddler" food.... But man oh man, it has been smelling super good these past few days.... I have faith as well as you! This is only for the better, I don't regret this, especially since now I just weighed my self & I am down 19lbs since surgery day. I am so happy, & I know that this will only get better! Thanks for sharing that I am not alone good luck on your journey!!

  8. Just wanted to thank everyone who posts positive things post op ... I'm sure everyone (or most) were at the stage I feel I am at now - I am 8 days post op & I'm thinking "what the hell did I do to myself?!" Going through up & downs, but coming on this site really cheers me up to what I have to look forward to.... thanks fellow sleevers!
  9. Curious to know, I know everyone is different.... Some people can tolerate certain foods more than others.. I'm 7 days post op, so I'd like to see what I'm in for..

  13. I think I have followed everyone follow me back @ Lysha0122 comment vst on one of my pics for a follow back
  14. Thank you to everyone's response. I wish I could reply all, but I don't feel enough energy yet everyone who said 'everyday gets better' you're right... It does, though I am still feeling down, I sipped way more then the past few days. I am starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel, I cannot wait until all these pains have left my body. Especially since I start work next Friday! On the bright side, I have lost 9 lbs as of today
  15. Hello, I'm 2 days post op & I feel horrible. Chest pains (assuming from anesthesia), always sleepy, lots of gas in me that won't come out! & last thing is I cannot drink anything. The pain is too much when I swallow some water or soup... Hoping that this will go away.. I have lost 8 lbs so far since Tuesday, which I am happy about, but I am hoping that I won't regret this.... How long did this feeling last for you all? Do I have hope? What do I do about my intake, do I just not drink anything until I can? help please.....
  16. San Francisco - Oakland !
  17. Oh & I am getting sleeved on August 6th!
  18. I just tried asking this same question on a new these but it wouldn't load I hope to find answers on here too! I am worried most about my arms! I am 21, 5'5, 240... & my arms are my biggest worry... Hope it bounces "back"!!!
