Is this how it is?????

:scared0:

Vegas Angel had her sleeve about three weeks ago...she can't seem to drink anything without feeling 'full'. After anything she eats she burps real bad, most of the time she has no energy after 8pm. I mean she is ready for the bed. It seems she can't get all her protien in either becasue taste is an issue or fullness. She has the slimes now and again from or for whatever reason......:scared0: So my question is this...IS THIS HOW IT IS?

I am scheduled to be sleeved on the 11th and I can tell you all that I do NOT want to live this way...THIS SUCKS!

I understand about the all liquids for 20 first clear then any, I understand about 'mushies' but what she is going through is well for lack of better words BS. I do not think I can tolerate that! At my heavyist I was 310 at 23 years old, I have yo yoed all my life. Lost 110 in 110 through a liquid protien at age 24. Up to 280 at 30 and down to 179 with nutra systems, walking every day. UP to 200 over the years then in 2000 shot up to 255 275, since then flucuated down to 240 can't seem to get below that. WANT to weigh 175 again for health reasons....NO more HBP, Hate taking pills....BUT I have to admit I don't want this stuff that she is putting up with. IS she having an unusal time or is this NORMAL?

Wow, I didn't know it would take 6 months. I hope the warm liquid does the trick. Do you have the problem when you have soup? That's warm.

I hope you get it all figured out. I know it can't be easy cause I see my friend going through this too.(((Susan)))

Hearing that didn't make me real happy either; however, at least he didn't say I'll be this way forever! Now, that would totally suck! I can eat warm things easier than cold that is for sure, so I guess that is what I will stick with until things get better ... after this I may never be able to look at a can or bowl of soup again! (Sort of like I feel about Hamburger Helper as that is what, as newlyweds, we lived on way back when [my first marriage]).

Thanks for the hugs - back atcha (((Daisy)))

If it makes you feel any better, I have very little desire to eat solids. I don't like that full feeling after only a few bites. There are so many things I like that are easier to eat, I would rather ease into solids over the next few months.

Well, let's see how he's feeling tomorrow ... once the pain medicine all wears off. Am glad he came through his surgery w/o any complications and there was no hernia repair needed. He didn't believe me that they operated on him and had to lift his "gown" up to double check ...:bored0:

That's exactly how I was. When I was cleared to drink, I couldn't believe I could drink whatever they brought me with no trouble at all.

Well tomorrow is the blue dye test so we'll see how he does. I'm hoping he does great with it and doesn't have any issues like I had/have.

I am so glad you are doing well Bob. I hope you breeze through it like I did. Now for the peacock poops. Hey V angel, I sent you hugs too!!

POST SLEEVE NOW 12 hours---no pain, Just the annoying fact it isnt easy to P...LOL

Congratulations on your surgery and I'm glad to hear you're doing well. I was showered and walking in the hall the day after surgery. Good luck with the leak tests.
