*****UPDATE****** feb 2nd, 2012

i now have a leak & a stent was placed in. feeling horrible!!! the below post is the least of my worries now!

im going crazy..

i was sleeved dec 20th. everything was ok until maybe a week after coming home from the hospital. i realized that i was extremely exhausted and always felt faint. it didnt really start hitting me hard until last week. everyone keeps telling me that it will get better but it feels like its getting worse! i keep trying to "stay positive" but how much more of this can i take? i want to feel normal again!!!!

i noticed that when i walk, im like dragging my feet. im so weak and faint. almost like my thighs might just give out.

i also have excessive gas which i think is making me really nauseous. the burps are just crazy. i cant eat or sip without burping.. then it wont stop until i take some gas x chewables. i live off those chewables.

as far as shakes, i cant tolerate them. ive tried so many different ones & i throw them up. they absolutely repulse me!

i do eat but i have to be "in the mood" to eat whatever is in front of me or i will just throw it up. my stomach is extremely weak! i cant even tolerate Soups. they turn my stomach too.

i called my surgeon & told him how im feeling & he told me im dehydrated. told me to get on gatorade for a week & see how i feel then. im going in thursday morning to see the nurse practioner.

the gas & the gatorade mixed is making me very nauseous.

i take 20mg of prilosec in the morning, 2- Multivitamins & 1- B12.

im so so so so so so tired of this! i truly regret surgery. i never thought id feel like this but i do.

its at 11am so i have to be there by 1030ish to register. im so happy & excited! i want it out of me so friggin badly!!!!!!! i figured ill take pain meds early tonight so i go to sleep early & wake up tomorrow!!!! i cant wait.

C'mon, 11am tomorrow already! Will be thinking of you, and prayers that it is healed and the stent can be banished from you FOREVER!

I'll be praying for you tonight and tomorrow...for you to have a successful procedure and very quick healing (((((Hugs)))))

Tomorrow is the big day! Like 11 hours from now woot woot! Good luck!

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers

i love you guys so much... seriously! <3

i cant wait until morning.

Thinking of you sweetie, update us as soon as you can.

“God won’t put more on you than you can bear” Keep Him close by your side and all will be fine. I find when I forget to include Him for whatever reason,,I could almost hear Him saying,,,Karen...stay close to my robe,,don't drift off on your own...you need ME. And then I do, and then all is well. God speed Jas,,let us know how things are going after the stent.

I know, I am scared for you, but more hopeful that this nightmare is almost over for you and you can start feeling some relief both physically and emotionally. I know it's draining you in both ways. Ask them for something for your nerves if you need it, and definitely for anti-nausea meds! I know you have a lot on your mind tonight, just relax as much as you can, though I know it's easier said than done. Praying for you and sending you healing vibes.

:hug:

It's so sad that you are having issues with your boyfriend on top of everything else. It's difficult to see any good that can come from all this, but I do believe things happen for a reason. You are strong and you will get through this!
