  7. I shared with all family and coworkers. The support I received from everyone was somewhat overwhelming. I'm glad I shared. I took my health back!!
  8. That was about normal for me. I was able to eat a little more as time went on. I am 9 weeks and can eat half a chicken leg with a deviled egg and a couple of slices of a tomato. That fills me up.
  9. It was on my full liquid diet but I found it too acidic for my sleeve.
  10. I scheduled 3 weeks but after dehydration, UTI, and low potassium I ended up needing 6 weeks to completely recover. Everybody is defiantly different. I would say just wait and see.
  11. I am 9 weeks and I had my first glass or two of wine yesterday. I had no problems but did get a buzz off two glasses of wine. Be careful and don't drive.
  12. I am 9 weeks out and eating regular food.
  13. I'm doing much better than I was but still have this pain/uncomfortable feeling when food hits my stomach. Once it is past that entry it is fine. Is this normal and will it get better?

  15. I was very sick from my second week until my seventh week. I was nauseous and also had a general ill feeling. I ended up back in ER with dehydration, UTI, and low potassium. I got 3 bags of fluids, antibiotic and potassium in an IV. I felt better but not great. I finally started feeling normal about 7 weeks out. It will get better. I thought I was going to feel like that forever. I am 9 weeks now and feel pretty good, just not 100% energy yet. You will feel better too!
  16. Absolutely beautiful!
  17. Thanks everyone , I will give it some more time.
  18. I am 7 weeks post op and when I eat I can feel the food hit my stomach and it feels a little twinge of pain and uncomfortable. When does that and weakness get better?
  19. I am 6 weeks post op and still have a sick feeling, no desire to eat anything. Please tell me others had this and it passes. I can't imagine being like this forever.
  20. I am 5 weeks 3 days. How about you?
  21. A little , still very queasy especially after I eat. I hate eating please tell me that gets better.
