*****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.

you shouldn't start on solids again or u will have another leak!!

im cleared for solids as long as they are well chewed & i eat slowly. i think it was just too heavy & maybe spicy

I absolutely loved spicy foods before surgery and now I don't tolerate them well at all. Both salsa and buffalo sauce have made me throw up. It makes me sad, but I am hopeful that will change eventually. For now I am trying to play it safe.

I noticed that after my surgery it took me time to know my body again. Now I know that I have to be taking fluids every two hours if I leave it more that that I feel sick. Also after when I started solids any food that I didn´t have after the surgery made me go to the toilet, but second time I was fine. My live back to normal, no many people even know that I had the surgery. So far I have lost 31lb.

Blessings.
