Can you share what waist trainer you are using?

Same problem here. I’m following for helpful suggestions!!

Thank you!!

Can i have your pumpkin custard recipe? I love pumpkin pie and it’s never been the same since my grandma passed!

No, they won’t. I’m just going to have to do what i can and hope coworkers can help with a couple things for a week or so. Lord knows I’ve helped them in the past. If not, I guess I’ll get sent home.

I wish I could afford to take more time off. I had planned to go back yesterday ( exactly 7 from surgery) but I’m still feeling miserable. I absolutely have to return next Monday. Since I’m not technically full time I don’t get any benefits. I have a feeling next week will be a very long and exhausting one. My job is physically demanding as well. The lifting and bending are going to be rough.

So sorry you are still feeling bad! I have a feeling I’m following 3 weeks behind you!! I’m miserable and exhausted!

I’d like to know about the ice cream! Lol. I’m miserable right now and cannot wait to get back to anything resembling normal!!!

I am completely in your universe!! Right there on the rocks with you!!

No, it hasn’t. I barely get any fluids in and no protein. I’m supposed to see my dr on Wednesday, if I make it that long before i have to go get IV fluids. As soon as i wake up in the mornings, I usually feel pretty good and hope for a good day but by the time I sit up, i can feel the nausea and miserableness set in.

What is Bai?

Not yet. Idk what the final straw I should look for should be. I don’t want to go and it not be necessary. I’ve never felt this not in control of my own body before. Scares the hell out of me. I just want to find something I can drink. I actually liked the protein shakes and the nectars before surgery. Everything is just wrong now.

Oh, no!! That is incredibly scary!! I’m so sorry for your awful experience!! ❤️

I have called them several times this week. Yesterday they told me go to the ER for fluids at the hospital where surgery was done, which is 40 + miles away vs my local ER, which is less than 10 miles away. They said they couldn’t do anything else for me on a Friday afternoon. I did call throughout the week though. They sent in another rx for more zofran, 8 more pills. I’m mot supposed togo back for my next appointment until 9/19.

I really don’t care if i lose any weight right now. If i could take this mess I inflicted upon myself back, i would in a heartbeat!! Today has been another day from hell. I cannot even find 1 thing to drink that doesn’t make me gag. I’ve given up on trying to get protein. It isn’t happening. If i could be put into a medically induced coma until I feel normal again, I’d voluntarily go!! It’s better than not waking up at all, which has crossed my mind too.

I was sleeved on 9/10/18. I also have buyers remorse. Have had it since 9/11/18. But I absolutely would change it if I could!! If this situation had an undo button, I would have been hitting that thing with every ounce of energy I barely have. I have been miserable since surgery. I’m mad at myself for doing this to myself. I’m tired of the smells of ANYTHING making me nauseous. I’m mad that I’m going to have to miss 2 weeks of work for this mess, when I would much rather be out every day getting paid. I’m just so completely miserable and mad at myself and I don’t feel any better today than I did on Monday evening.

I have been “in the process” since January 2018. Finally sleeved on 9/10/2018. Definitely has felt like a long road. But right now I’m having serious doubts about my decision making skills. Today, day 5, has probably been the roughest day yet. I keep hearing that I should be improving a little each day but I think i must be going in reverse. The night of my surgery I remember telling my fiancé that I felt 100x better after childbirth and with that at least I’d be leaving the hospital with an adorable baby!! Lol. I’m here praying and hoping the sleeve fairies bless me with a better day tomorrow!! I’d love to feel well enough to finally get out of the house, even for just a little while!!

Oh, I totally understand the schedule now. Right now I can’t even choke down more than a few sips of water! I just always wondered why the people, who were doing so well a few months post surgery, at my required pre surgery meetings always stood around afterwards absolutely dying for a salad!! Lol

Can I ask, what kind of food stage schedule does your doctor use? I had surgery on 9/10 and I’m supposed to be on clear liquids until 9/24, puréed 9/25-10/8, adaptive/soft 10/9-12/9. Seems like such a long time but I’m sure he has set it this way for a reason. At least now I understand why the other people at my meetings were complaining about just wanting a salad SO badly! Lol

Those all sound good! I’m day 5 post op right now and am having trouble even keeping water down. Very nervous right now, as i feel worse today than any day so far.

Can you share your soup recipe, please?

My sleeve was on 9/10. Right now I’m having serious buyers remorse. At this point it feels like I’ll never feel halfway normal again. Has anyone else experienced a wierd almost ringing in their ears and a heightened sense of hearing? Like everything is extra loud.

Can you share your recipe for ricotta bake?

@LowBMISleever, can you please share your recipe for the ricotta bake with me? I was only sleeved on 9/10/2018 but it never hurts to have healthy recipe choices on hand for when that time comes. It sounds like Italian food to me, which is always yummy! Lol. Right now, I think I would die if I even thought about eating real food but I know at some point I’ll be ready to return to an almost normal existence! Fingers crossed!

@TX4everLinds thank you!
