Geez! I've heard of getting irritable and depressed. I just had no idea how bad it is. I thought I've been through hell. Of course I could handle it. YA RIGHT! I'm not depressed but I'm so freaking cranky! Slightly weak as well. Mostly I just can't hold back what I really think. I'm usually a happy go lucky sweet person. NOT NOW! I think the surgery took my niceness with the stomach! Anyone else experienced this!? ????

You will be so sad if you don't get the surgery. Don't put it off. I was out in 1 day and the first 4 weeks I was weak but you will never get your surgery if you put everyone's needs before yours. You will still be able to be there for her!

I am now 3.5 months post op and things have gotten better :-) I have less extreme bitch moments and life feels better. I wish I had more energy to enjoy my 65lbs lost. I figure in time I will. MMMMMmmmm COFFEE!!

My back aches. Did anyone else have back pain through the weight loss stage? I've been a slacker, I've worked hard before, and it doesn't feel surgical.

Omg! Me too! I'm so freaking tired. Water sucks to get in. Forget about the protein. I'm pretty overwhelmed and daily life is just a chore right now. I'm almost 4 weeks now. Down 25-30lbs.

Feta freaking CHEESE! Week 1 post op!

I'm not any help because I've really experienced zero nausea. I'm now 17 days out. However, my Dr. Said ppl who get nauseous tend to do better. I'm sure it will subside. I'm sorry ur not feeling well :-(

My Dr. Said I am losing a pound a day. That is a lot! You are doing great! Get water in and walk!! Walk! WALK! Seems to help me. Keep up the good work.

My head has a dull ache and I'm so tired! Please tell me there is an end to this fatigue! When did you start having energy after surgery?

Teeny tiny 6.

I'm only 10 days out and was SO HUNGRY last week! Now I'm mostly just tired/weak. As long as u eat correctly it will be ok.

I had my surgery May 5th and started to get hungry at about day 4. I was so pissed! I cried for an entire day fighting it. Mostly in fear that I wouldn't be able to use this new tool in a productive way. I decided I'm still going to lose weight anyway. What's wrong with eating every 2-3hrs if it's only a tablespoon? Nothing! I'm still under 400 calories! There is no way that is a bad thing! Not to mention all the walking burns that off! Just eat right and you and I are both going to be okay!

My sleeve yesterday was SOOO PAINFUL! Whew! I need some encouraging word to get me threw this! No regret. Just pain.

????Definitely a Yes for me. It's been tough not being able to use food in the way I used it before, my substitute for feelings, boredom, love etc.... I think it's going to be a very revealing journey, that always reveals something new everyday. I've chosen not to be the Hangry monster to my loved ones. A very conscious effort has to be made every moment to not slip. I notice it's gotten better with my attitude change. All positive thoughts nothing negative allowed. It just takes effort. I've really enjoyed meditating more now. It balances my moods better. Good luck with your journey.❤️ I agree. I realized today I really need to put the effort forward to be polite through this! Positive energy and that is all!

Yes. I'm slightly icing. It helps me sleep. Which I know is weird. I'm so grumpy and weak. But still happy

I'm so excited I can't sleep and scared! ????

You don't look disgusting at all. You look bruised, but your skin is very nice. I hope it gets better. I just had to tell you that. Thank you! Your so sweet!

. Screw this gas pain! Day two of death. It's so hard getting all the Protein in

I'm seriously trying. Whew. It just hurts SO Much

The first 5-10 hours sucked. I feel ok but I'm hurting. Please tell me you felt better after at least a week. I need to know there is a light to look forward too. I'm so not hungry. I can't get in everything. I just want broth and water! Thank goodness for protein broth!

I feel like I can't eat real food ever. I'm only one day out though.

Good luck too

It truly is that gas pain. I started walking right away. They sent me home in 1 day so I'm doing something right. I can't believe all the protein shakes and water they want me to stuff down my face! I'm so full and but never stops! I can't get all this H2O Ahhh! Ur right I need to take my mind off it! I look disgusting!

Sigh! I'm very anxious! I meet again with the surgeon and do some blood work. I know it's normal to be anxious. I just haven't slept in days. I feel like I'm going to do fine but I'm still freaking out! Just needed to vent. This forum is keeping me together. Thanks everyone.

Ya it was very painful initially, but the staff are nice here. I realized I can't drink anything cold. Because my stomach cramps like death. Otherwise I'm doing ok. They said I needed insulin and now u might be anemic. Both of which I never had before surgery
