I was just like you. My itching was due to my pain medicine and once I was done taking it the itching went away. Benadryl helped a little. I still don't like sweet things. The thought of anything chocolate makes my stomach pucker because I had a chocolate protein shake early on and I got sick. Had my surgery on the 5th and had to take 3 weeks off I was so weak. I still don't have energy like I should but I'm getting there. Work takes all my energy right now. It gets a little better everyday.

I had my sleeve 8/5 and I have no energy at all. Headaches sometimes . Upset stomach frequently. I'm still on liquids til the 20th and there's so much I can't even stand the thought of drinking...feels like my stomach puckers at the thought of some things. Makes no sense I know...it's frustrating but I know it won't always be like this.

I had Lapband in 2009. Lost 108 lbs in less than 2 years but also got acid reflux really severe and had to take most of the fluid out to alleviate it. Started gaining again and put most of the weight back on when I had them put more fluid back in it made me miserable and I'd throw up and have acid reflux again. They sent me for testing and it slipped. They took all fluid out n waited to see if it would correct itself. It didn't. They said it had to come out. And did I want to explore other options? I went with the sleeve and it was hard decision to make because I never wanted a permanent surgery and when my band worked I loved it but without anything I would've ended up being one of those people whod never leave their bed because I'd be 600 lbs someday. I knew myself well enough and how bad my eating was unrestricted . They removed my band in may and it was slipped even further than when they found it and I had scar tissue on my stomach from it also. Sleeve surgery was 8/5/14 and so far so good. Typical pain and after surgery issues but everyday is a little better. I don't regret my band. Wish it would've worked out differently and I learned a lot. But I have peace this time that I made the right decision. Don't know if this helps ya or not.

I worried a lot too about all the what ifs and about my kids if something happened. I think that's normal. Had my surgery Aug 5th and am glad I did it. Still in pain because they had to remove a lot of scar tissue from my previous gallbladder and Lapband surgeries. The surgeon said my stomach was thick and scarred from the Lapband slipping. Had to stay longer in the hospital than planned But overall it went well. everyday gets a little bit better.

My surgery was august 5 th and Gas x strips that dissolve on your tongue are helping me alot. They taste kinda gross but definitely worth it. I'm using about 5 a day... And yes walking around helps too

I just got home from the hospital yesterday. Had my sleeve surgery on Tuesday. I was worried about that too because I love my water and am very happy that I can still drink it without problems.

I have been horrible to live with the last week or so also. This liquid diet is a nightmare. I feel bad for anyone who has to be around me. Surgery is Tuesday and I'm so glad I'm almost there. Can't wait. Just want it over and done so I can get back home and start a new healthier life

Don't beat yourself up. A lot of us have messed up like that. I myself did the same as you today...feeling pretty crappy about it but what matters is doing right from here on out. Hugs, holly

I am august 5th also. My pre op diet is 5 no sugar added carnation instant breakfast drinks a day.
