Well it finally happened my hair is officially going thin and I'm losing my dreads. I was so sad yesterday.. I even cried .. I absolutely love my dreads and to lose 3 was so devastating.#8weeks out

Ok gang this isn't to scare anyone. Was sleeved on on the 3rd and a leaks was found. What was supposed to be a 24hr stay turned into 3 days in icu 2 units of blood vomiting blood and some of the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life (and I've had 3 kids. )On the 5th day I finally took down oral pain meds with no complications I got released home. I began my normal regimen of taking all medication .I kept feeling like all the medications was taking was stopping right under my breast ,kind of like if you eat a large piece of meat and don't chew it completely .then I began vomiting. I felt weak and and couldn't control my pain . I also can't keep a sip of Water down .My surgeon admitted me immediately . I'm extremely dehydrated weak and tired .

I'm 18 days pre op is it just me or am I the only one who needs to work on chewing up my food . I feel like I eat too fast. My doctor recommended chewing every thing 30x . Any thing that's not liquid I feel it literally hit my stomach. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Update: Thank you so much for all your love and prayers it's meant so much to me . Things are very cloudy among the days inside what seemed like a on and off nap . I did after 2 days start to tolerate liquids and got to go home but returned in less than 24hrs for severe dehydration . The pain pills and just swallowing any substance was difficult. So that was a total of 10 days in the hospital. Continuous fluids all the time . I had to have a midline iv put into my shoulder because my veins became flat. There came a point were i aware and felt like there was something wrong because I had no desire to eat or drink but felt sick. So I began slowly to the extreme dripping liquids then tiny sips etc. Broths lots of Water and Protein inside of my water every day is a constant struggle but I believe it is normal at this point. Although I am in a full liquid diet which allows things like mashed potatoes and puréed types of foods my stomach does not like it .I have tried very bland eggs I've tried eggs in every form(but fried) and my stomach just does not like eggs ..it's weird...but my brain does ..lol.I've decided to just continue with focusing on my protein and water and trying low-calorie watery consistency types of foods. I Do vomits every other day I feel like things are getting better daily. For me piling in so many pills as well as protein in different forms liquid etc. and as well as trying to drink enough water it is very filling and a daily struggle.
