Coffee is a diuretic. It makes most people go to the restroom. Sleevers already have difficulty getting their liquids in the first bit after surgery, so the Dr doesn't want anything else that can aid dehydration. This is one reason coffee is a no-no right after the sleeve.

I'm like "am I getting hit on and just don't know it?!?!" When I saw Laura's post. "Jeez, have I forgotten the signs of being hit on?!?!" Lol It was pretty funny.

Oh I'm straight as an arrow!!!! I so didn't even take it as you were hitting on me. But, yeah, you're definitely posting on a singles thread! Lmao

You're halfway there Cupcake!!! U can do it!!!

You can do this. Everyone says the first 3 days are the worst.

Wow! You're the same age as I am and your story sounds so much like mine. I was in a fall on ice and hit the curb. I wasn't paralyzed but used a walker for a year. Because I was sedentary I gained a lot of weight fast. I thought about going to Mexico but found out Medicare does the sleeve and it took like 3 days got approval. Good luck and best wishes. April

Are you on any kind of supervised diet? I wish my surgery was the 23rd. Lucky duck

Well next time I'll holla at you

Omg. U sound so much like me if I'm not listening to music. That is me 5 nights out of 7.

Last night I finally just slipped my earbuds in and listened to music til I fell asleep. Lame but true.

Oklahoma. But I have the worst insomnia. Lol.

Jeez! I'm so bored and nobody I know is ever online when I am. Lol

You're very welcome. Let us know what the Dr. says

Classic symptom of GERD. I have it, have had it for years and the only reason my surgeon is allowing me to continue on with having the sleeve is because it's been controlled by protonix twice daily for over six months. Being propped when sleeping really does help, but I'm a tummy sleeper, so my daily ppi was doubled. I tried omeprezole but it didn't work for me. Also, I wasn't to take any other acid reducer like tums or liquid mylanta, as my doctor said it makes my protonix less effective. Good luck, I know how scary and painful it is. April

A ppi is an acid reducer, as I was referring to. And I agree, you should definitely see your doctor to try and rule out diabetes. I'd call and make an appointment today.

Yes. Many sleevers mistake acid for hunger. Your doctor should be able to prescribe protonix but you can get omeprezole over the counter. It will make a world of difference. I've been through this with both my sister and my best friend. Totally cut those hunger pangs and lessened the grumblings from their tummies.

Yup. It's normal. This is a life-changing step with no "rewind" button. Just breathe and remember why you need to take this step and what happens if you don't. You'll get through this.

You need protonix or omeprezole daily. It's an acid reducer that will diminish the hunger.

Wth! I had no idea you could see me stalking you all. I seriously need to peruse the site a little more... As I try and go see who last stalked me.

The HcG diet. I starved myself for a week on that diet and actually fainted at my sister's house. It was awful. And scary

Took me a while to respond because I had to pick my jaw up off the floor... Your loss is utterly amazing! Congratulations!!!

Wowza!!!! Great job. Maybe I'll lose like a man. Lol

Congrats!!!!! Now you can breathe easy!!!

Welcome Asmaa! I wanted to wish you lots of luck on your surgery and know that you'll come through with flying colors. I can't wait to follow in your footsteps soon. April
