oo oo I wanna see pics! goodluck!

Oh? Yes I've read this is a thing that happens post op I just wonder how long until it gets better, if it does get better at all..hehe. Hormonal changes? That could be it. I do wonder if this surgery causes any kind of damage to the brain though, is there any research regarding that? And about the coping mechanism - There is some truth to that, but, I'm kind of surprised I don't crave food as much anymore. I mean, I can eat most things , just very small quantities and still enjoy it. So does that count as a loss of coping mechanism? in a way, I am relieved that craving food is not as horrible as I thought it'd be. I only mourn food a bit, but mostly I'm not as sad about at as I thought it'd be. I wonder if theres another issue. My best guess is the hormonal thing, I really hope it passes though.

I'm 30 yearsold aswell. Had my surgery on Sep 16, so about 10 days before you did. If you haven't had a complication now theres very little chance that you will have a serious complication down the road I think. Do you feel bad? Do you find it hard to eat? Why do you think the surgery was a mistake? If you're having emotional stress over the operation I suggest you try and talk to a psychologist perhaps? Do you have access to one?

Anyone else experienced this? I can fly off the handle at the smallest things. I get into arguments. And even if I control myself, I can be bothered by things for days on end. I feel like if only I could I would literally kill someone that tries to get on my nerves on purpose during an argument or whatnot. Its like I have a new mental illness now. To have so little self control, its kind of worrying. Before the surgery I was mostly able to control myself when it came to anger, I have no idea whats going on its like my self control chip fried. Also depression is kinda creeping in now, which ironicly in by itself is kind of depression. Thought if I didn't get it a week after surgery no chance I'd get it a month afterwards. I'm a guy but I think I know what women feel during their period now. Is this normal? It started happening early on after surgery but now it seems to be getting worse.

I'm 1 month post op and can digest chicken. However it seems that 'cooked' chicken is pretty hard to digest and gets me nauseated. I think I need a bit more time to adjust. Chicken patty works alright though. It depends. Basicly if the chicken isn't "hard" it works ok, otherwise it sits inside my stomach like stones

Hey there I'm 3.5 weeks post op and I've noticed a strange reaction I get when I eat anything thats not liquids or full liquids. Even if its a couple of bites - for example chicken patty, potato, yam, cooked carrot and such. A few minutes after eating my nose starts running and I have to blow it even few minutes, coughing out phlem, hiccups, burps, minor difficulty breathing. It almost feels like I'm about to vomit but it doesn't always hurt. Is this a normal reaction to food after sleeve surgery? At first I thought it was because I was eating too much but it happens even with just a couple of bites. Pretty frustrating.

I'm sleeping alot better since I had the surgery (3 weeks ago). And yes I'm breathing alot better during the night!

Heres a little trick you want to try: 1. Prune juice - Get dried prunes, simmer in hot Water, drink the juice. 2. Blended tomato - Blend a full tomato (leave the peel on!) and use it as 'sauce' or just drink it like that.

Goodluck! I was scared shitless on my surgery day and almost walked out aswell. I did post a few videos from the hospital after surgery on my youtube channel, if you want to see what its like you might want to check it out. Its really not that bad. Once I was out of surgery I knew the hardest part was over. Recovery is fast aswell. Now 3 weeks post op I don't even feel like I had surgery (except for eating habits ofcourse). If you have any specific questions feel free to ask me, I will do my best to be truthful and try to ease your anxiety https://www.youtube.com/user/sleevesfox Don't worry! The hardest most nervewrecking part is waiting for surgery

Hey there! This is mine - http://www.youtube.com/user/sleevesfox

Welcome to the dark side muahahaha

Yes the liquid phase is the worst I'm afraid, but once you get to the full liquids and mushy phase it gets alot better. When are you supposed to switch to that? Second week?

How many days do you think you'd be gone? I don't think there should be any major complication but you can never tell. I think you should perhaps look a bit more into medical care in ecuador perhaps? If they're set to handle VSG problems?

It is a load on the kidneys though isn't it? Considering I already take alot of other vitamins. Before the surgery they did find some protein in my urine, saying the kidneys were starting to get damaged (because of diabetes). mmmm...now I'm a lil worried I may be putting my kidneys through strain.

How urgent is this emergency? I personally wouldn't be traveling abroad unless it was a matter of life and death.

I'm sorry you're having trouble sleeping. Its a bit odd, since in my case atleast, I've been sleeping like a rock. I guess its because I can breath more easily after surgery. My guess is your problem could be due to post-op stress? Do you feel anxious? Scared? Worried? Or is it more of a physical thing like problem breathing at night? Pains? Did you have trouble sleeping before surgery aswell?

Goodluck! I'm now 3 weeks post op and was so scared the day of operation I couldn't sleep at all. Its really not as bad as I thought. Only the first few hours after surgery are 'tough' but you get over it rather quickly. After about a week I didn't even feel like I had an operation. Recovery is rather fast. Its really not that bad!

Goodluck! I was so scared the day of operation I could not sleep at all. But now, almost 3 weeks after surgery, everything is fine. Its really not as bad as we fear. Recovery is really fast (in most cases I think)

Good chance it was liquids yeh. However, I lost about 13 pounds on the pre-op diet aswell. And yes I always found it very odd that theres such a big difference between post-op diet instructions with different surgeons. I thought there was a much more unified opinion regarding what and how much to eat after this type of surgery.

Oh! I apologize I forgot to update. The doctor said the bleeding from the scars was normal and nothing to worry about, that it happens sometimes. Regarding the blood coughing, she said its probably unrelated to the surgery and told me to set an appointment with an ENT doctor (eat-nose-throat). So far I'm waiting for the appointment. The coughing did not return so far so I'm not way too worried, I seem to be doin alright
