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 ):

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!

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!?

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.

I'm very happy! 9lbs down already! Sometimes I feel like I can't breath if I have to yawn or something. I won't lie I am getting a little anxious for some real food since I'm still on liquids. Anything help you guys with the anxiety? Also sometimes I feel sharp pain, it lays only a few seconds, maybe 10, but I feel like my stomach wants to jump out! Is this normal? Any tips on anxiety or overall!? Good luck to everyone on this exciting journey, I'm a stranger but I'm on your team and I'm proud of all of you for making this choice for a better life. Here to give and receive support! Xoxo P.S. my husband is currently gone on deployment so when he gets back any tips on I guess helping him adjust to my new eating habits!? All comments appreciated! God bless!
