Ok I am 4 wks out, down 39 lbs and just now starting to eat and feel better, but I am so tired all of the time. What vitamins are good and why can't we do gummies? I need to know what is gonna help with my lack of energy

Thank you all for responding. I have tried the centrum chewables but gag! I was just wondering what everyone else is doing, I am also still struggling with my protein intake. It's been a rough 4 weeks (hospitalized twice since surgery), but I feel myself getting better everyday

Was sleeved on 1/27 and my surgeon told me I could have anything that would go thru a straw and I chose liquified mashed potatoes last night. Today I am in a lot more pain and my belly is huge! Has this happened to anyone and do you think I caused damage to my sleeve!

Thank you. I have lost 26 pounds in 11 days so the doc just wants something in me. He says I need the calories right now so it doesn't matter, but I can barely tolerate water. I went for a leak test today and everything was negative they said I had just had excessive swelling!?!?

It's 10 days away from my surgery date and it feels so surreal!!! #bundleofnerves

I am still kinda new to the whole forum thing, can someone tell me how to add friends? I'm spending almost as much time on here as I do on Twitter and Facebook and haven't figured it out yet

-
Thanks ya'll. Got 2 liters pumped back in me and waiting for the doc. I will keep you updated.

I am exactly one week out and yes that is every ounce lost since last Monday. I can't get my shakes down, just water and very little jello. -

Mine has been rough and I've had some complications. I hope and pray you do better. I still can't keep hardly anything down, but I have lost 22.5 pounds. So far I'm still in the regret phase tho :/ -
The bright side to being so sick is that I'm down 22.5 pounds in a week but that's crazy fast. I can't even get my protein down!

I'm one week out and craving tomatoes so bad. Tomato soup, pizza, spaghetti sauce etc that kind of stuff. I'm thinking a couple sips of tomato soup would be ok!?!?!

Me too they are so nasty! -
Thank you all for responding. Actually my surgeon says he doesn't care and I can do pureed foods at this point, but I can't tolerate anything. I just took one small bite of vanilla pudding and I am already paying for it. I feel like I am starving, I can't find anything I can tolerate other than water.
-
Yes I am feelin better, thank you!
-
No
-
Thank you for the words of encouragement! It's probably the nurse in me expecting the worst, I don't know, but I will take a deep breath and calm down. I hope and pray in a few months, my regrets disappear! I have lost 11 pounds in 4 days

I'm not actually using a straw that was just a term used to describe the consistency. I did call him and he told me to go back on clear liquids for a few more days. I feel like I am starving. I have had a hard time from day one for whatever the reason. With a collapsed lung, extreme nausea and pain, I'm wondering if its all going to be worth it! I keep reading where everyone else is doing so well and I just wonder why I am NOT! :/
-
I have been doing the gas x. His exact words were "I don't care if it's spaghetti sauce as long as it fits thru the straw".... either way I know it will be quite some time before I do potatoes again. I'm going to just kind of rest today and if it doesn't go down by tomorrow I will call somebody. It doesn't hurt is all at all as long as I'm still?
-
Do you know if there is anything I can do to ease it? I'm just afraid I caused some type of damage?!?!?
-
Thanks curvycakes
-
I'm having lots of pain, can't hold anything down, and I'm very short of breath. Prayers please!!!!
-
okay, so I am 5 days away from my surgery date and very anxious. It's to the point where I have been contemplating backing out....is this normal to feel this way!?!?!
-
Tomorrow is the big day. I will be getting my new tool to assist me in becoming a healthier and more improved "me". I am praying for all of us getting sleeved tomorrow and I hope to hear all of your success stories real soon! God bless and I hope some of us get some rest tonight
