I am so sorry to hear you’ve had a rough start. I’ve been in and out of hospitals my first month due to Pancreatitis and Gastritis. Hydration is very important. If you can’t keep any liquids down, I highly suggest staying in the hospital until your stomach start accepting liquids

It is a possible side facet if the gallbladder issues happen and most likely would have to remove the gallbladder. Make sure to do a ton of research before deciding on a surgery.

Oh my dear lord, I am so sorry for your experience ?. Yes mine was diagnosed with a bloody stool but I can just imagine the pain. I’m glad you feel better and we’re able to get a survey that truly helped you in your journey!

Hello Everyone, My recovery has not be smooth to say the least. My doctor cleared me for soft solids and that’s when it all went wrong. I follow his instructions to a T but after a few days felt pain in my abdomen. Later I found blood in my stool. I went to hospital and found out I had pancreatitis. The blood in the stool test came out negative but I was wondering if anyone else went through this? Ps I don’t have a gallbladder or had a drink since 2018. I didn’t slip and ate a high fat protein. Thank you everyone in advance and Have a Happy Easter! ?

Hello, Yes, we had several deep discussions as well as a therapist who helped me weigh the cons and pros. The cons of being so heavy and it restricting my life goals ultimately is the reason for the surgery. I didn’t do this surgery to help my self esteem but did it so my heart and lungs can be healthy.

Hello everyone, I had the gastric sleeve done on March 25, 2019. I'm post op day 18 and having a really hard time adjusting. I am at the stage where I can eat mushies and that has been going slightly well. Still very thirsty though. I'm following my diet plan but my mind and heart are really struggling with this new lifestyle. I can't help but think about pizza and sodas. I don't feel much hunger.. just mostly cravings if that makes sense. It came to a point where I cried really hard to my support system which they have been nothing but outstanding. Everyone knew that I was absolutely in love with my body. I loved every inch of my body. However, the harm I was causing myself really scared me and lead me doing the surgery. Now, seeing the weight leave my face and back really hit me hard. I just want to know.. does it get easier? Will I be allowed to eat anything with sugar? I appreciate all the answers. Thanks.
