I feel you, I got sleeved last monday and I feel all the same symptoms as your feeling and I feel like crap.... but I just keep thinking about the good things to come from this.... praying, its hard, I can barely stomach any fluids and the its hard to get comfortable to sleep and I pee every 2 hrs even in the middle of the night lol, hang in there

Hi there! You know "this to will pass" and then when all that weight falls off you will know you made the right decision.

I know what really helped me was walking, walking and more walking. I hope things get better for you soon, but who ever said this was the easy way out SURE DID LIE!

Take care!

Laura

I'm right there with you as well! I was sleeved on Monday and everything hurt. I haven't even attempted anything other than water yet so I am exhausted all the time on top of being really really sore. What did you do to yourself? You did the best thing ever. You gave yourself the chance and the opportunity and the tool to become healthy and lose the weight. This is the hardest part, right now. It will get better... do what I do. Head on over to the "Success Stories" page and re-read them. And keep reading reading them. It helps a LOT. We 'll get through this

Yea Sleeve buddies! I'm feeling ya lol. I feel bloated and honestly like I'm 8 months preggo again lol, but I think I'm gonna go on a short walk and see if that helps out the gas or air thats still in my body from the surgery

Well, I have no idea what it feels like to be 8 months preggo lol, but I am definitely bloated and swollen. My mom noticed it more than I did but boy I can tell now. I absolutely refuse to go near a scale until my follow-up appointment with my surgeon. I haven't walked too much, in the hospital I was too dizzy from a reaction to my pain meds and then I left the next day. Once I was home it was pouring and then I slept, and slept some more... and then I slept some more lol! Good luck on your walk

I think everyone goes through this just know that it will better. I think usually after the first week those feelings start to decrease and you start to feel stronger and more normal with each passing day.

Hang in there, y'all! It really does get better, not fast enough, but pretty quickly in the long scheme of things. Just rest and take care of yourselves--sip, sip, sip!! Focus on trying to keep water in your hand so you can remember to sip it. You will feel better soon, I promise. Meanwhile, welcome to the losers' bench!!

I was sleeved on the 12th and had a breakdown this morning. I am so over liquids, and since I don't like cottage cheese, I will be on a week of nothing but yogurt and water. The two weeks until I can have tuna can't pass fast enough.

to know I am not alone is super helpful. thanks for all the words of encouragement and suggestions. this is certainly not the easy way out. but it is a tool to help us for life. after my second meltdown today, Ive purged my negative thoughts and tomorrow is another day ( god I hope I can't get some sleep tonight lol). best to all us new sleevers!

I was also sleeved on Monday. Really having a hard time getting the protein drinks down. I'm constantly sipping water to relieve the thirst. Hope things start to improve soon.

Try this, get some bean and bacon soup, mix with skim milk, blend, strain. it's awesome, with 5g fat, about 15g protein and 30 grams carbs in 8 ozs.

I just read your post to my husband who said, "you said the exact same thing!"

Here is what you need to know:

1. All the pain, discomfort, and bloating passes

2. You will soon adjust to your new way of eating

3. Every day you will feel better and better!

4 weeks post op here, totally felt the same way when i was one week. now im feeling greaat and loving it.....it'l get better...just keep drinking, and walking.

mr smith - I'm sending my husband out to the grocery store as we speak. thanks so much for the tip.

I thought everything had to be clear the first week? I am three days out and miserable as well. I can't stomach any of the protein I have so it's just been water, ice pops, and crystal light. I am starving I guess from lack of protein, but I was not prepared for this as well. I read soo many people on here saying it was hard but noone said it was this bad. I am having pain in my stomach everytime I drink n I think I am having stomach spasms. Also I am having pain only on my right upper abdomen but it's not close to where any incisions are. I mean it hurts especially when I move but it's not terrible but is this normal?
