it will bother you more than the nurses and other hospital staff..... dont worry about it!

I had my sleeve on a Thursday and was discharged Saturday afternoon.....good luck!

i've also noticed the bad breath... i brush multiple times a day... i always feel like my teeth have a weird film over them now. I've always been about nice teeth so i do keep up on my brushing and dentist visits. also, my pee i think smells too... it's light yellow in color so i think i can rule out dehydration but any suggestions on what to change?

hey everyone! I am 6 days post-op and i've had some of the same concerns. I have hd no problem taking in water and fluids and also my protein drinks. I'm not hungry at all but I can't wait to eat something to make sure i can feel that full feeling.

hey everyone, just wanted to write a little bit about what i'm about to go through and how i'm feeling. I told everyone about my surgery but my boss and co-workers, at this point i don't want any negativity so i'm still undecided on when or if i will actually tell them. I felt through this whole journey that i had alot of support but as the days near i'm starting to doubt that. My fiance was not really supportive in my decision because he has heard the horror stories and stories of people constantly being sick and throwing up and i explained how this is hopefully different from the gastric bypass and doesn't have dumping syndrome issues and since then i thought he was pretty supportive. Now, that i'm scheduled to start my full liquids tomorrow, i'm worried that he isn't going to be as supportive as i initially thought. Tonight was my "last dinner" (that sounds so silly) and he came home late after my son and i already ate, gulped his food down and then out the door to take our son to football practice. I'm sitting here so hurt.... like the last dinner i could have with my family for several weeks and it was no big deal to him that he was late.... am i over re-acting because or are these normal emotions? i just feel like now, i'm going to be alone.... help!!

i start my full liquids and Protein drinks tomorrow my surgery is oct 23rd.

my sleeve is scheduled for october 23rd. i start my liquid pre-op on wednesday

i'm nervous, my surgery is october 23rd and i'm scheduled to go back to work on october 30th. I work for an oral surgeon and stand and walk all day but from what i'm reading the more you walk the better you feel. Im hoping i'm able to return in a timely fashion.... also, my close friends and family know everything about the procedure but my boss and co-workers do not... i gotta break it to atleast my boss soon, considering my surgery is in less than two weeks...any suggestions? i've just had such a long list of negative responders, saying things like oh you aren't fat, just exercise, dont ya think that's a little much, etc... at this point i'm ready, and would just like to have my last few days at work peaceful and not spend it all defending my decision to be healther

OCTOBER 23.... getting nervous, anxious, scared and excited all in one...is that crazy??
