  5. I can honestly say before surgery I love to eat! I enjoyed good food. After surgery I still enjoy good food but I mostly crave healthy foods oddly fried and fatty foods just don't look appetizing anymore. After sleeve I can eat 2 chips and and that'll last me weeks and I never have a sweet tooth anymore. Sleeve has changed my life so much I don't even miss it. I love the good healthy food I eat I crave that now! I wish everyone the best!
  6. That's funny living in NJ and seeing him at a conference this past summer every one including me thought he looked the same. But side by side helps. Someone should have offered him the sleeve.
  7. Not a problem. Keep me posted please
  8. Diarrhea was the only symptom no fever but once it got bad I did have abdominal pain. The diarrhea started like 4 days after I got home. For awhile I just kept going to the bathroom but I was still drinking my fluids fine but eventually that all stopped. The doctors can check with a simple Stoll sample the earlier the better unfortunately for my I spent 5 days in the hospital. Believe me I'm not trying to freak you out but the disease is serious so must share. The surgery wasn't the problem but since they pump you with all those antibiotics after surgery your body can't fight infections because you have no more bad bacteria. They should always give a probiotic with the antibiotics. Where you giving those?
  9. Just being honest this happened to me and I felt good then BAM so sick. Turns out I caught CDiff If you don't know what it is please Google it. I never heard of it until it literally not kidding almost killed me. Please be careful it doesn't hurt to get checked. I thought it was my IBS acting up turns out that's now gone it was CDiff! All the best but please be careful with this.
  10. The sleeve as taking my IBS away too. The doctor always said I didn't have it THAT bad please tell that to my constant upset stomach. But it's gone now and I couldn't be happier!
  11. foam and slime? I've never heard of this until I joined this forum. How to avoid? 5 1/2 weeks out and haven't seen anything like that.
  12. How far along are you? I'm 5 weeks and that use to happen to me too. But I kept going. I don't remember when maybe last week but throat problem is gone still burping but I notice when I slow down less burping! The sounds aren't to loud so IDK LOL.
  13. Yes! I was told all liquids count. But.I'm finally getting my water in! All the best!
  14. Well that's refreshing to hear. It's been a month so hopefully by this time next month I'll be getting my sleep on! :-) Thanks for the response.
  15. So I'm a month and 2 days post-op and every since I took my self off the pain meds a )few days after surgery), I haven't been able to sleep through the night! It's frustrating because I like to get up early before work to exercise but obviously I'm to exhausted now I have to work out in the evening. Is anyone else having this problem? Dear sleep why do you hate me?!?
