Just 5 hot wings & I’m stuffed! I love it!!
I have had to stop eating really hot stuff, it starts to upset my stomach and immediately enters into my esophagus and burns so bad I literally can't breathe. My throat burns so much the acid burns so bad and I can't breathe in any air until I use my inhaler. I thought it was happening only at nite from laying down but it does it during the day also. Keep your inhaler handy if you have this same reaction you're gonna need it. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

Wondering when I can drink alcohol
You are 9 days out of surgery and craving alcohol, you're not even on mashed foods yet but you want to drink that sounds exactly like an alcoholic to me, really wasn't judging, but it sounded like a cry for help. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

Wondering when I can drink alcohol
You sound like an alcoholic, maybe get some help for that before you irritate your new stomach and possibly have some serious problems, sometimes life threatening. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

4 Months Out
You look fantastic, this surgery helps alot of people. My weight would always come back it didn't matter what diet I tried, I'm 4'11" My HW 238 I looked hideous to myself. My SW 209 Myself CW 147, I didn't do the surgery for any other reason than to get healthy. I felt lost in my own prison that I created for myself.... I did think it was going to make me happy though, but that idea is long gone. I'm happy now because I feel so much better. As I aproach my 8th month I am so happy with the results that I would do it all over again, that's how I know I'm happy. Congrats on your weight loss you look amazing![emoji258] Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

Can We Get a Little Drama Going Around These Parts Please?
Ok you say you want drama, how can I handle the fact that now people who I have known just started asking me out and it seems like it is just recently now that I've lost the weight. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you very much. This is definitely not the easy way out as most of us have tried for years as I did to try and lose it with dieting for years before we resort to surgery. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

Two Difficult Days of Head Hunger
Sometimes even if my stomach is growling, first I try a glass of water and usually it simmers down. I don't particularly like water, but tea or broth would help and the broth is good for you. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

Is there anyone with BiPolar 2 and had the gastric sleeve surgery?
I'm bipolar also I also have a ton of pills to take every day. I just took my meds slowly and I got my meds in without any problems. I also take Seroquel, and all my meds stayed down I didn't have to open up the capsules in my Prozac or anything. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

Before and After
Thank you very much, I have never been overweight in my whole life so when I actually see myself in these before and after pics I start to cringe, I hate myself in all photos. I didn't realize but I had been staying away from mirrors for a very long time. Ty all for your kind words. I seem to be having a hard time accepting the fact that I am not as ugly as I feel anyone know how to treat this problem, because I know it's not good to feel like this?

That's really awesome, great job keeping it off, I'm going on 7 months out and I'm already worrying I'll stretch my sleeve and I'll be hungry all the time all over again. Can you give me some ideas on how to keep that from happening, I'm freaked out that it could happen? Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

Constipation?

What to Bring to the Hospital
I don't know why you would need anything at the hospital, I had the gastric sleeve and I was there overnight and released the very next morning, don't work yourself up to thinking that it's going to be such a major surgery. It's done with 5 little puncture sites, I had no stitches and no tape even. I think the more anxious you are you work it up much more than you need to. I'm 6 mos out, HW 238 4'11" SW 209 CW 147 I've lost 91 lbs overall and I couldn't be happier I'm only 25 pounds to my goal. Went from size 18 to an 8. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

Restless sleeping
I've been the same way but my restless leg syndrome seems to have gotten worse. My family physician put me on baclofen before surgery for rls and it's very effective. My psychiatrist is very diligent and this medicine doesn't interfere with my other medications. Good job on your weight loss! It only gets better in time. I am just 6 months out . My HW 238 4' 11" MY SW 209 CW 147, I'm extremely happy with the results and wish I would of had my surgery 6 years ago, I let my mom talk me out of it 6 years ago. I could never imagine it would have felt this good to NOT walk around with so much weight on me. Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app
