I am 8.5 months out and still struggle at times. It is the best thing I have ever done for myself and dont regret it for 1 minute. There will always be challenges. You just need to be strong and you will get through it. :lol0::thumbup:

I had a lot of problems the first month I was sleeved. Like some of you have mentioned, it was a real struggle for me to get anything down, liquids, mushies, anything. And whatever I took in made me very nauseous. I was severely dehydrated and ended up in the hospital several times on IV liquids. However, once I got past the first month, things improved drastically. I am now able to eat without feeling ill. While I cannot guzzle drinks, I can take fairly large drinks now without a problem. I am one of the ones that now says other than only being able to take in small amounts of food, I can't tell I have had the surgery, which is wonderful. Give it time, like WASa said, you are probably experiencing a bit more swelling that hasn't gone down yet. Once it does and you get past the first month or so, you should feel much better.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
