Holy crap it's a universal sleeve craving!! I've been dreaming of a cheesy thin crust New York style pizza. Mmmmm. Sigh.

Anyone else find it difficult to sleep!? Back pains like crazy and I sleep on my stomach usually, any idea of when I might be able to get back to that!?

I still get a weird pain under my ribs on the left when I take deep breaths or yawn. Why!? And yea dying to eat some texture! Phase 3 on Monday!!! Whoot whoot!

I'm down 20 lbs already! 200 lbs mark! Today I hadn't bowel movement and I noticed it was mostly greasy stuff. Anyone else had this happen!?

Does else anyone feel uncomfortable when yawning!? Also I'm feeling very emotional ): today actually I smelled all the different meals being cooked and it just made me cry. I don't know why, I don't regret the surgery. I guess I'm just anxious solid food ):

I know that sounds gross but its nearly 1 am here ad I cannot sleep! I sat on the toilet for almost an hour and can't go. My stomach hurts. I wish I could go! I had surgery on the 20th and have only gone once. I'm in so much pain. Any suggestions anything at all!? Can I take anything!?

Thank you all so very much!! I greatly appreciate all the advice!! I was able to go after some Milk of Magnesia but I will go get stocked on a stool softener and some fiber tablets! It really was terrible pain!

Totally normal Hun! Can't seem to pass gas and its uncomfortable too -.- try to walk as much as you can taking deep breaths from your mouth, it helped me a whole lot!

Thank you so much!! I keep the liquids down I'm just so sick of them. I'm craving a piece of chicken or fish!! Something!!! Who did you have your surgery with if you don't mind my asking? I had it at Jackson south hospital(:

Also how often should I be sipping? Every minute? How fast? I often wonder if I'm going at a the right pace.

I have the same problem as well. Do you drink from a straw? I haven't tried it yet.

Hi all!! My name is Christy. I was sleeved on Monday in Miami, fl with Dr. Eddie Gomez. I weighed myself two days ago and I'm already 9lbs down! First 3 days were the worse! Tons of gas and back pain. Sleepless nights because I was just so uncomfortable but I do walk a lot. I am having a problem with the liquid intake and I only had one small bowel movement since. Is this normal? Any tips on sipping? My dr said I'm supposed to drink 1 ounce every 15 minutes. Which is hard for me cuz water and everything else is so brand to me now. I get really anxious, thankfully I'm very strong willed. Went to Costco yesterday and saw a bag of chips and it made me crave the crunch. Does this happen to anyone!?

Me toooooooo! I can't figure out when I'm full or not. It's weird!

I've have hypothyroidism for 14 years and I take synthroid. The actual medication doesn't make you gain weight, it is the condition. But I had surgery on Monday and I have already lost 9 lbs last I checked two days ago! You be fine! You need the medication to help stabilize your hormones and better control your metabolism so that you can lose weight.
