I was sleeved on July 30th, honestly the biggest mistake of my life. 75lbs down but I can't even eat yogurt without it hurting me. I hate eating so much that I eat once a day. I'm completely miserable, fine when I have an empty stomach but as soon as I take a bite it hurts. So tired of this and I feel alone. Everyone I know who has had this surgery can eat without problems.

I'm so sorry to hear about these awful problems, Karissa. You must be getting terribly malnourished. Have you spoken with your surgeon and doctor? Something is definitely wrong. What kind of tests have they run? Can you drink without being in pain? You need to demand answers from your doctor!!!

I have an appointment with him next week. I can drink with no problem, I drink all day long and can go through a 20oz bottle in a little over an hour. I'm pretty sure my esophagus needs to be dilated. Idk hopefully it's not too serious because I can't handle anymore problems. I actually munch on little things all day but I eat a real meal at least once a day. It just hurts so much to eat. I don't understand why because I chew chew chew and eat super slow.

And to make it worse I was diagnosed with a bad UTI the other day so I feel like I was hit by a Mac truck. I'm having every complication possible and I'm down in the dumps. I've done everything I'm supposed to and following every rule, I don't get why this is happening to me :/

I am praying for you too!! I hope the surgeon can fine out what the issue is. It has to be mental and physical draining to hurt every time you eat. :( Its good to hear you can get fluids in and can at least eat something. ;) Are you making sure you do not eat and drink at the same time? I am sure you tried it all. I wish you a speedy solution to your issue so can can continue on your journey to an healthy you. :rolleyes: I hope it is something simple, that the surgery fines thats causing you such discomfort.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
