I'm 5'2, starting weight 254 and goal weight is 140

Awe thanks girl!!!! I'm feeling better today. I got a whole protein shake down!!

Oh okay thank you!!

Thank you

Thank you

My surgeon does a lot that others don't do. I can take whole pills, soft solids can start at 2 weeks, I can take ibuprofen .... It's strange and I regret my surgery. I'm so bitter right now. My sleeve has a kink, I can't eat or drink hardly anything. I had to have iv fluids today and I'm on high dose steroids to hopefully lessen the swelling. If I can't eat by Tuesday I get a feeding tube. I'm not happy about that. Sorry to be so negative but this sucks

I supposed have severe inflammation in my sleeve. I'm 12 days post op. The doc prescribed dexamethasone which is a steroid. I trust my surgeon although all I see is that steroids are bad for us fellow sleevers.. Anyone else take steroids?

Csection was way more painful. I haven't taken anything for pain since the hospital

Thank you! I'm hoping these steroids help

I was sleeved 02/02. The surgery went great and the recovery is awesome and painless. Although I can't drink more than 20oz of water a day and I can't handle anything heavier. I have severe inflammation in my sleeve and I'm currently getting iv fluids. They say it's too early to stretch it so my next option is a feeding tube... Sucky!!!

That's awesome! I'm so super jealous.

I take bariatric advantage ... They aren't bad. Glad you're recovery is going well

Thanks )

Thank you!! I'm happy to know I'm not exaggerating

Well they did a test and said its a stricture and inflammation. Unfortunately they can't dilate it because I'm barely 12 days post op and they worry that it will cause a rupture. So... I'm going to the er for iv fluids. They are going to give me strong steroids to try and decrease the swelling to see how bad the stricture is. They said the next option is a feeding tube! I told them I'd rather hold off on the feeding tube. Hopefully the steroids help a little.

You guys are really the ones keeping me together right now. Thank you so much! I know it has to get better but right now it sucks. I'm at the surgeons office. They are going to check for a stricture. Hoping either way they find out.

Thanks everyone. I really hope next year will be better.

It's my birthday, my 27th bday and I'm like 11 days post op. My first without a great dinner and cake. I'm struggling today. All I want is to lose some weight. I don't want to be classified as "morbidly obese" anymore. I wanna go on roller coasters and feel comfortable when I fly. I need this surgery. I'm glad I had it but...... Today I hate it! I'm so weak it's insane. I've had about 12 oz of fluid today and one bite of yogurt. That's really me trying all day. I tried drinking more and I barfed. Barfed all over my backseat. Today I want cake, I want to go to dinner, I want to have energy to enjoy a walk with my family... And I can't! My body is too weak, my sleeve is being an ass and I'm regretting my decision today! Why can't I be one of the ones that can drink 64oz of water and 3 shakes a day? I know it will get better right? It has to. I know it's still fresh and new but I'm suppose to start soft solids on Monday and I can't tolerate full liquids. YA I've lost 25 pounds in 11 days, I'm happy about that ....but not really. My husband is very sad because he sees me like this. I'm depressed. I'm never sad. I'm always happy and cheerful.. What have I done? My kids need me fully functioning.... I just wanna scream... Rant over

Wow I guess it can be normal then.. I just feel like I should be able to tolerate more yA know. How far post op are you lipstick?

True. Although suppose to be able to drink 3 protein shakes a day and I can barely drink one. That's not right

For example I can't drink 1- 8 oz protein in less than 4 hours

Very full I mean

I just feel very useful like it's in my throat almost. And I feel like I'm going to regurgitate

Hey everyone I am 10 days post op. I am allowed Full liquid which includes yogurt, pudding, andhot cereal and creamed soups. But I cannot eat anything! A few bites and I feel like I'm full. I can't even take my chewable vitamins without feeling very very full. Has this happened to anybody else? I feel like I'm going to be anorexic but not by choice.

I'm sorry.
