I just hate to vent about this but I am feeling so bad. I am going to continue to pray and when i see my doc i am going to ask him why he had to cut so much stomach out....LOL. Thanks so much for the support. I think that if i can get over the feeling of the little pain that i feel when i swallow i will be fine. Oh and the heartburn that i never had.

Girl don't feel bad about it, we all have our days - obviously we weren't the lucky ones who right have no issues, can eat anything & etc but we have to believe a few months we can look back & be like wow we made it thru & we feel normal... Vent, cry, scream & everything just don't give up... There's always a tomorrow if God allows... I pray normal eating & feelings come for all who feel like this...

Holy moly! The bad breath has begun.. I just about blew my husband away with it. I told him about it and he didn't believe me so I breathed on him and whew! Haha! I was warned about this by a friend who had the sleeve a couple years ago. I guess I didn't think it would happen this quickly (I am on Day 8). It is from ketosis (fat burning). I am assuming I can't chew gum because of the extra air it might cause going down so I bought some Altoids yesterday and will start using those. Wow, this is going to be difficult when I have to go back to work. I might scare all my patients away. I will also start using mouthwash too I suppose. Anyone else have this yet and if so, have you heard how long it will last?

I want steak. And ceasar salad. And cheesecake.

And as for the sex, yeah did that, caved...poor hubby. And me, but I also held my tummy tight with my hands to keep it still. TMI? Cause I'm sitting here turning red typing this. Might just bust an incision laughing.

According to my scale, I've lost 15 pounds since the surgery(two weeks out). For at total of almost 35 pounds according to my scale that is. Yay ME!!! This is so cool:D

OH YEAH...that's what it is. And all the freaking Protein Drinks (with milk) coat my tongue with that white nasty crap. Brush my teeth all the time. And my NUT and doc said not to chew gum either. Because I might swallow it...oh please! What? am I FIVE? It helps with the dryness in my mouth cause I can't drink as fast/much anymore.

You Guys are dealing with stuck and I'm dealing with a frigging nasty rash all over my body. Todaydoc put me on puréed soft foods. I refuse any more whey because I think that's it. We will see. Itch itch scratch scratch. Yuck yeeeeouch!!

I've had bad breath since my surgery, I thought it was because I wasn't drinking enough Water and had a dry mouth. This is something we have to deal with? I need to ask my doctor what other lovely side effects their are.

Newgrandmother - I'll see you tomorrow at kaiser! My name is Moriah.

I have found the Listerine breath strips really help with the bad breath. You dissolve them on your tongue. They sting a little, but I figure that means they are killing germs.

I was sleeved on the 12th and you better believe I chew gum... I cannot stand MYSELF if I don't... I found it actually helps a bit and allows me to burp easier...
