*****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.

awww u r tooo sweet! thank u for the love & support.

Oh I have been waiting to hear this!! I am so very happy that things are getting much much better for you! This has made my day

girl normal is all i want & pray for!!!

I'm so happy for you! I pray all healing will come quickly for you and all will be back to normal.

i went & saw my dr today. he has me on clear liquids until my next visit which is thursday. he said my esophagus was inflamed which is a given since he just pulled a stent out of it. he said he didnt see a leak but that there is a chance that i have a small hole which is why he wants to do clears a little so that it can continue to heal without a stent inside. so far i have some gas bubbles coming up but thats it.

Awesome. Hopefully you are finally on a smooth road to recovery after a pretty bumpy one!

thank u! im praying

ive decided to go to church this sunday!

im not asuper religious person but i know for sure that church is where i want & need to be! between fighting these complications that i never believed id make it through and attempting to get over this horrible abusive relationship that ive been in for the last 10 yrs since i was 13. to getting fired while laying in my hospital bed waiting for pain meds cuz the stent was trying to kill me... i need prayer! & i need to put the man upstairs first so he can lead me down a path with minimum pain & more success. i have faith that i will overcome everything!

thank you guys so much for ALL THE LOVE!!! all the prayers, the thoughts, nice and kind wishes and for even reading my posts! it means a great deal
