So sorry to hear what you had to go through, but it is great that you are on the mend and now you are aware of your condition. Good luck!

Nice work! I can't wait until I am cleared to hit the Gym too!

I was sleeved on the 31st, I was super nervous and it was my first surgery. Now that I am done with it I wonder why I got myself all worked up over it, it was not as bad as I imagined at all. Hang in there, and good luck!

Wow you DO look younger. Nice work!

Dr Thomas Umbach from Blossom Bariatrics. Had the procedure done at North Vista Hospital. Couldn't be more pleased, no pain at all, drinking water and getting my protein has been a breeze.

Not yet, but I just put in an order for some on Unjury.com.

Don't panic, nobody is 100% perfect all of the time, recognize what you did and carry on doing the right thing instead of worrying. As for your usual cycle, maybe counseling would help? Some people use their weight as a sort of defense mechanism, not saying you are one of those but maybe you should think about it.

Fantastic, nice job!

This community has some very vocal bad apples, don't let them bring you down.

Well done!

Don't know yet but I am excited to find out.

Surgery date: 10/31/13 Highest weight: 345 Surgery weight: 330 Current weight: 330? Haven't weighed in yet, waiting til post op appointment. Thankfully I am having no issue with getting my Protein and liquids down, I'm more than a little surprised how easy it is, actually!

I know, I want to start exercising too, but I'm going to wait a month then hire a personal trainer. There is plenty of time to do it, no need to tempt fate.

Listen to your doc.

I was sleeved on the 31st. No hiccups but I have had the ball of air stuck in my throat painful feeling. I just force myself to burp some and it usually goes away.

Oddly enough I can gulp water with no problems and I am 2 days out. I try to slow down and keep it to sips though.

Hey Topnotch, your post is really hard to read, maybe consider increasing the font size a tad?

I don't expect to have to poop much until I am off the clear liquids stage. I was just sleeved two days ago and haven't really had to go at all.

Just hang in there and follow your surgeons instructions to the letter, have faith, you will get there.

I just had it on the 31st and not hungry at all. Could it be head hunger you are experiencing?

Could be vitamins causing that, I started taking a B complex and my urine suddenly became neon yellow. Also if you aren't drinking enough water it could have a big effect.

Though I haven't felt that way yet I would not be surprised if I go through what you are going through eventually. I think it is entirely normal because you are making such a drastic change to your habits and life. Just try to keep in mind WHY you did this to begin with. I think it is safe to say that everyone who has this surgery love their food and love to eat, but too much of anything is bad for you. You aren't totally breaking up with food, you just need to modify your relationship a bit!

Real mature that some people hijack this thread and fill it full of mindless bs in order to drown out the original posters message. People acting like a bunch of petulant highschoolers should be ashamed of themselves. Frankly I think the OP was giving that other person a dose of tough love. So go back under your bridges trolls and stop bringing the community down to your level.

I was sleeved the 31st and immediately upon going home the same day I was able to drink all my liquids and protein shakes. Haven't vomited or felt nauseous yet. Sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble, maybe your stomach is just more swollen than mine is and you just need a bit more time to heal? I can drink so much it makes me wonder if my doc just poked five holes in me and called it a day.
