When did it start getting better for you? Please tell me before the 8 months.

I am 5 days post op and I get spasm or cramps every time I try to swallow a drink or something. I tried to have fat free sugar free frozen yogurt my doc said I can have it and could not get through 4 spoon fulls because my stomache hurt. Does this feeling ft better I feel like I will never eat real food again the way I am feeling now. I am forcing my liquids down and sometimes when I am drinking I feel like I have gas right in the middle of my chest. Will I get better? Is this normal? I can't wait to be on normal foods but I am scared to death that I won't be able to handle it because of the way I am feeling now. Can someone please tell me what they think or did u experience the same things.

Yes I'm drinking room temperature liquids. Did that feeling go away for you. I feel like I'm constantly swallowing bc I feel like I have something in my throat. Hopefully it gets better.

I had surgery Thursday at 3:00pm. I had horrible gas in chest and shoulder for the first night. I kept walking and walking and the next day felt better not 100 percent. I came home today and every time I drink I feel my chest has something stuck in there. Is it still gas because I am still burping. I also have stomach spam when I take sips. Is this all normal???

I had the surgery and I woke up in really bad gas pain I couldn't even breathe. I walked and walked so much just now at 3:45 am I'm starting to feel better but still some gas. Stomache is sore. Also pain meds make me dry heave and almost vomit.

You have to toast it before cooking it?

Thanks everyone!!!! I just can't wait for it to be done with already.

I have surgery tomorrow and I feel like vomiting I am so nervous. I think I'm more nervous of what to expect when I wake up. Some people say it's so painful and some say they just had gas pains. I'm so freaked out. I am super excited to start my new journey but I am scared about pain. I usually do well with pain as I gave birth to two children with no epidural all natural. Everyone saids if you could do that then this will be super easy. Don't know how true that is [emoji45]

So it was good enough though to satisfy the pasta crave or not really? Lol

I was wondering has anyone tried pasta and rice substitutes? I see birds eye makes zucchini and lentil pasta it's pasta made out of veggies don't know if anyone has anything else they tried or if they tried that. Looking for options in the future.

What do they do at presurgical testing they told me I have to be there for an hour and a half? I thought they take blood and that's it. Only had one other procedure done and had blood work only.

I have my 7 month old and I have people for three weeks to help me with the baby after surgery. After that I am on my own from like 9-3. I will try to do most activities on the floor but if I have to lift him for his nap will it be ok by three weeks after surgery. Only lift for like naps and that's it. He is 22 pounds. I am nervous because i can't have people take off for 4-6 weeks to help me. I am already paying someone for two weeks and one week I have my husband. Anyone have this problem any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Did anyone have to drink some nasty liquid before surgery for pre op testing? I know after you need a swallow test but never heard of before.

How long does the whole procedure take? Everyone is saying something different. Some say two hours some say an hour some say right in the middle. How did you feel right after it????

I am hearing lots of different stories about the pain after surgery. What does it feel like if anyone can share their stories. Some say it's soar like you did crunches some say it's excruciating pain. I'm getting worried [emoji33]

Has anyone had any problems with sushi after surgery? I obviously mean months and months down the line like 7/8 months down the line. I am just wondering out of curiosity.

I have no sex drive right now I am always tired and exhausted. I do have two small children but I feel like I should have more of a sex drive than I do. I am hoping this improves after surgery after loosing weight. Has anyone had an increase in their sex drive? I really want my sex life to be the way it was a while back. Anyone have any insights??

I would love to be buddies!!! I am like questioning everything I am nervous but so excited to start. Do you start the liquid diet on the 17th like me?

Thank you!!! I have read some and then came across a few negative ones and I stopped reading. I have been eating this for years and finally I am done having children and I went for it and now that it's so close I am nervous!!!

I am getting surgery the 24th and I am freaking out. Wondering if I made the right decision like second guessing everything. This is my first surgery maybe that's why I am like this. Looking for support and comfort stories from people that went though this. I know once I do it I will be so happy but I'm so nerved out all I can think about is the surgery. I am scared of complications or anything like that. Help me out!!!

I am getting surgery on the 24th of August. I have help for like 2 weeks but it's going to be extremely hard not to hold him. Any mothers out there have come across this problem. What do I do I feel like it's impossible not to lift him at all. I need advice because about two weeks after I have no one to help me it's not going to work me not lifting him[emoji22]

Hi Congratulations on your Surgery!!!! I am super nervous I am getting sleeved on August 24th. I am nervous about everything the surgery process, anesthesia and the pain after the surgery. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Good luck in your journey!!![emoji3]

I am getting sleeved on the 24th of August. I will be 4 months post op around Christmas. Is it ok to try a tiny tiny piece of dessert? Does anyone have any suggestions. It will be around the holidays and just want to know if it's to soon or not even to try?
