When I woke from surgery I had severe throat pain but I thought it was from the tube down my throat. I suffer with a raspy croaky voice don't know what that's about. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I bought some Powerade and that seem to have done the trick!! I'm so thirsty it's the only thing I can get down me. Will have to do for a few days until this all sorts out. I've had the worse day today. I stopped counting after dry heaving 6 times today. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The tablets I have been prescribed is for GERD and ulcers. I woke up got out of bed dry heave. Took the tablets ate a 1/3 of a Protein bar. Went for a walk. Came home dry heave. I'm desperate for this to stop. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Funny enough I'm not eating enough because of the whole palaver. Surgeon is concerned about it. I have to force myself to eat. I'm hoping it will sort itself out. Thanks guys. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm on Citalopram and my God has my depression been worse since surgery. I'm assuming this is because of all the hormone changes. I'll be post op 6 weeks tomorrow and almost 50lbs lost. 2lbs to go. See my doctor on Friday to try to help with that and sleep. My sleeping is terrible!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had to have Ducolax and it was awesome!! Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Why are you crying everyday? You're feeling bad from your pre-op diet? Do you have a therapist associated with your bariatric practice? You should NOT be this distraught heading into your surgery. You really need to talk with someone who can help you put your fears and concerns into perspective. A week before my surgery I was nervous, but it was that good, "I can't wait!" kind of nervous, like before your wedding or when you do a pregnancy test and you WANT to be pregnant...you shouldn't be crying and dreading it. It may be that the time isn't right in your life for something of this magnitude. I'm 5 weeks post op and have had the worst post op care. My NUT has actually stopped emailing me when I have questions and I don't actually have a follow up with my surgeon until next week. I've had no Vitamins as my paper stated I shouldn't take them until week 6. I use this forum a lot to help me through but I'm not getting the medical support I need.

I'm pretty much crying everyday hoping that one day I will feel better. So fed up.

I should reiterate. I miss the thought of food but eating it makes me want to hurl. I hate eating and drinking at this point. The only thing I want to eat are babybels.

5 weeks out and still miss food!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Guys, I live in the U.K. and unfortunately I can't get a hold of the protein shakes you guys refer to that you have in the states unless I spend a fortune for just 1. I was wondering has anyone tried Atkins protein shakes? If not, is there a reason you haven't? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Long bouts of walking has helped me go!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have noticed that I only poop after I've had long walks. Seriously I have literally run to the loo afterwards. Walk as much as you can!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Seriously I feel like I'm a trumpet with the amount of gas that comes out of me. Will this last forever?!? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I started only experiencing nausea at the soft foods phase. I started soft foods on Tuesday and yesterday was the first time I didn't have nausea with foods. Drinking Water on the other hand is whole different story. I was doing well getting my water in but I just CANNOT for the life of me get my water in this week. I'm really worried about it but trying to do the best I can. I hope you feel better soon. It's a slow process but we will get there. Big hugs. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sleeved 4th October. Pre-op weight loss was 17lbs post surgery weight loss so far is 27lbs. Total 44lbs in 6 weeks. Still having rough days. Can't say I'm glad I've done it yet as I still struggle just waiting to hit the mark where I can say I'm glad I did it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Dulcolax for the win!! Milk of Magnesia works as well but it takes about 3 days before you have a bowel movement. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey Guys, I'm on day 2 of soft foods and I have been so nauseous. This doesn't happen after I eat food it's like hours later. I'm supposed to have dinner but the thought of eating or drinking anything right now makes me want to hurl. Has anyone experienced this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

50lbs lost I'm celebrating with a luxury spa day. 75lbs lost a new handbag. 100lbs lost a week long trip to somewhere in Europe!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Guys Me again sorry. I haven't had much guidance from my surgeon or NUT since being sleeved on 4th Oct and my first appt is not til 16th Nov. I will be 4 weeks post op tomorrow and moving on to soft foods I can't wait!! My question is when does the swelling go down. I guess I should try to call the outpatients number to see how this works but wanted to know from you guys? I find it hard bending down on my left side and even trying to do my toe nails is very difficult. I've searched on the forum but nothing really comes up for this. Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't say I regret the surgery but still haven't gotten to the point where I'm glad I did it. I'm 4 weeks post op. So sorry to read about your nightmare. I hope you are now on the mend. Big hugs!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Guys I have a huge problem. My team wants to go out to lunch today and of course they want to go to the dreaded Chinese. I'm still on the puréed stage until tomorrow and can't see anything on the menu to eat. The Soups are full of bits and probably loads of MSG. Would it be rude if I don't eat? I want to pull out of the lunch but it's my team that I manage. Soooo not ready for this. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
