I am 40, just had VSG done 5 days ago and I have been emotional over the slightest things, my husband doing something for me or even saying something "cute"... just writing it makes me emotional... so yes, I have experienced it and still do.... it has to get better!

Please, take one minute at a time... have you called your Dr and explained your pain? Do you have a support system? If not, please feel free to contact me and I will help you in any way I can.. everything will be just fine, you just have to stop and breathe and regain control and call your Dr, if it's extreme pain go to ER... please keep me posted! (I will be holding your hand and waiting...)

Oh, I figured it might be that.. I am going to tell my doc at my post op visit tomorrow because it is really bad, where I can't look left or right without moving my whole body...

I have not had one yet, my surgery was 7/26 but I was on a liquid diet and just started Soup, cottage cheese, oatmeal, grits stuff like that yesterday... Dr said it was normal.. I have no urge to go though...

I was a lap band to sleeve revision and had to do all the same requirements as an initial patient would do, but that was my insurance requesting it...

Have you tried to talk to him about it? To see if he can try to "eat better" with you? I would do that... my hubby has eaten less and tries to eat healthier while I am still on the liquid diet (same surgery date as you) he will have at least one bigger meal but I don't expect him to drink liquids only like me but support me through it and that is what it sounds like you need, is your bf's support.... good luck to you!

You may be drinking too much or taking too big of a dip. For me that's the feeling I get when I am full. I am 4 weeks post op

I've got my surgery date for 7-18-16. Nervous. Anyone else have a July surgery date scheduled?

I am not a cryer.
Today, I made the food Bucket List...and when talking myself through it in my YouTube vlog, I cried.
I have avoided doing this because the initial idea of the exercise was terrible to me. We are fat...so why spend the six months we are supposed to be learning to disconnect with food eating our desires? The Options program leader said it was time for me to finish the assignment, as the others in my class already had and were talking about it gleefully; rolled my eyes and said I'd have it done before the next class.
Never before has my brain comprehended it's learned reality that food equals happiness; that food was the bright spot in a lifetime of a lot of pain...and the grief washed over me. It was totally unexpected. I tried to recover, but it killed my energy, and I had to have a long heart-to-heart with myself this afternoon about reality versus perception; that food truly is not happiness, and that I (we) are addicted to it.
I've been told this countless times in eating disorder counseling the last two years. I could recite the words...but today, I comprehended them.
The exercise of going through writing down all the foods that will be off limits in five months, or that I won't be able to have en masse with family and friends...coming through to the other side was too much to handle. Psychologically, my brain literally connected the following foods to the best moments in my life: traveling, NY Fashion Week, celebrations, love...and for just a brief moment, it thought that I was writing happiness off as a death wish.
Well, I took a really long nap (emotional exhaustion?), and now I'm through to the other side of this, and can see how amazingly wonderful this exercise was for the process—it was hard, but I made the connection:
With this, now I can go back to the past in a way, and address each of these foods as I travel not as happiness, but simply as fuel for the experiences around me. I don't desire the foods, I desire the flashes of brilliance surrounding the food. It's going to be a long five months—but here I go.

I had my sleeve done on 7/26/16 too!!! I am feeling the same way, still bloated and sore.. taking meds every 4 hours... it's so nice to have someone else on the same day! We can be "losers" together!!

I did not want anything strong and my Dr and his assistant knew that up front, my husband had a problem with pain meds so I don't want them in the house even.. you should be fine, I am on Day 4 and I am ok, I was told to use tylenol for pain which has been fine.. good luck to you! I wish you the best! ????
