PS: Dont go by my ticker. I forgot how to update it. But I am 30lbs down the last time I checked...abt a wk ago.

10 days post-op I had the same thing happen to me. I had drank some lemonaid (not sf) and came right up in the middle of me sleeping. It was this weird burning sensation and very slimy. That was the only time I ever threw up or slimmed. I called my dr the next morning and she prescribed me some Prevacid-take once a day. Your experience sounds like what I went through. Also my coridnator said that if you feel a tightness between your boobs that means youve eaten too much. I would call your dr and explain to them what happened. It sounds like acid reflux. I have never experienced anything like it before WLS and never want to feel it again! Hope it helps! PS I am 6wks out.

Amber, I am 22 years old and I am having my surgery tomorrow morning (yea! .) This was a big decision for me but I knew that I had tried other ways to lose weight and couldnt. I am married, will be 3 year anniversary in 10days, and I have a 2 year old. I chose to get healthy for my daughter, my husband, and for myself. I am a student, and I do not drink or smoke. So if you dont have problems with those I think you will be fine. I chose to change my life right now. I have the rest of my life ahead of me and was tired of living an anti-social lifestyle. I was tired of avaoiding friends from high school and living in a bubble. I joined a gym and decided to exercise before WLS. Dont be desperate to want something so bad that you will do anything, especially if its not your only option. But if you've tried, and I mean REALLY tried to lose weight and you are ready to committ then I say you're not too young. We have our lives ahead of us at this young age..so lets make the most of it!

Thank you. I called my dr and she said that I was dehydrated. I started drinking more fluids and have been feeling better.

Just wondering if I could get some words of wisdom or some encouragement. I decided to reach out to my "Family of Sleevers." I started my one week of pre-op all liquid diet on Fri March 11th. My surgery is March 18th. Since Ive been on the liquid diet, which consists of soups, protein shakes, sugar free pudding/jello, water, and juice. I have felt sooo sick to my stomach. I feel so sick right now as I am writing this. Ive been curled up on my couch all day. I dont feel well enough to really drink anything else. I keep feeling like I am about to throw up (TMI-I know). I feel very nauseated. =/ I was wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions as to feeling better? I will call my dr tomorrow to see if there are any other options. I dont know if my body is experiencing withdrawls or what. PLS help. Thank you!

I am kind of confused as to why you would tell people your weightloss was due to being "diagnosed" wth hypothyroidism? I have hypothyroidism and that is exactly why I chose to get this surgery. Neither hypo or hyperthyroidism make you lose weight, and not drastically; I have been treated for both for over six years now. I just found that interesting that you would say that since the disease makes you do the exact opposite.
