Hi all, I was sleeved 4 weeks ago & by week 2 was feeling good & on the road to recovery. now at 4 weeks I feel crap, i feel like I have gone downhill. Everything hurts going down & feels heavy when its reached my stomach. Im still on mostly liquids because of this. Deep breaths hurt so much! I know Im not getting enough fluid but it just hurts getting it down. I try to sip constantly. SF iceblocks are my main menu. HELP!! Anyone had something similar??

I too had surgery, mine was on Aug. 27. I am having a hard time eating anything too. Wondering how long it will take. I can drink ok and fish is ok, but that is about it.

I think all of us sleevers went thru a crappy period or two! Im 9 months out now. I promise you both...as soon as your new stomachs catch up, your crappy feelings will pass and you will be able to eat & drink just fine. Hang in there!

I was sleeved on July 16 & still hv problems drinking fluids. I do real good with meats but still hv prob w a lot of food. Today I tried to drink Crystal light, very tasty. I brought tht to wrk today & only that, Big mistake. From my chest dwn to pouch, i hv hurt all day...just like I hurt after surgery when I first started eating. It wld be a miracle if I got 8oz of fluid in by the time i got off wrk. I hurt everytime I took a drink today. Its strange! But I know it will get better & so will you guys.

Have you guys tried SF jello or popsicles? Lowfat yogurt?

I have sf jelly & thats goes ok, so does sf choc mousse, Im worried I dont get enough of the right things tho, Im so tired & lethagic, have a constant headache & just feel miserable. it sux after I was doing so well. Thanx for the replies I guess this is a slow steady process. I just want to feel good ...

I would suggest hydration G2 or pedialyte. Also I did better with room temp and warm drinks. I felt like every time I drank something cold everything would just tighten up on me. I also felt like I had a lump in my chest/deep throat area for a while till about the 6-8 weeks mark.

thanx deltadawn I know I need more fluids because Im dizzy also, have chills & am constipated , sorry tmi, just overall feel unwell. my local doctor thinks I have asthma but Im not convinced it is. I have an appointment with my surgeon nxt week so hopefully he can put my mind at ease.

SF Popsicles were my saving grace the first 2-3 months. Got me through the evenings.

I'm almost 4 weeks out and i have crappy days as well... Seems like about every other days I feel weak, have a headache sometimes, then it lifts the next day?

You sound dehydrated. Call your surgeon. I was dehydrated and they re admitted me and after all of the fluids they put in me- I was able to drink more.

I get mine at Walmart. You shld be able to get them at just about any grocery store. I still have them in the evenings.

No sugar added.fudgesicles are great also,anything like that to get your fluids in. I lived on SF popsiscles and fudgesiscles for the fielrst few days

Overnight. 2 days- well worth it
