Must be a Monday thing! I was sleeved on the 18th and I have Fluid on my lungs due to the anesthesia. Tonight it feels like someone is stabbing me in the chest on my left side when I breathe' date=' and when I laid down to sleep around 9:00, I felt like I was suffocating. I totally panicked. Waiting to hear back from my surgeon and hoping it's not progressed to a partially collapsed lung![/quote']

I'm so sorry your ill Liz

Thanks Tstorm...this has been the worst part....not even the food thing has been as bad as the no breathing thing! Hoping next week is better..

Same here. I weighed 236 and I'm 5'3" big boned. My surgery is the 25th at 0730. I've lost almost 40lbs since I started this journey and all I hear from everyone is I don't need the surgery. I work in a hospital and they are the ones I hear it from most. But I just think about how I felt when my mom died suddenly from a heart attack when she was only 47. I don't want my girls to experience that. Even though I have lost the weight I've lost so far, I'm still on blood pressure medicine. Tomorrow I turn 45 and a healthier life is the best gift we can give ourselves and our loved ones

My mom took me shopping for supplies today. We picked up a couple pairs of comfy pj pants, some packs of Premier Protein and Isopure, SF Jello and pudding, cream Soups, liquid Calcium, etc. It was really awesome of her to help me out like that!

Now I have a lot of Protein to choose from, too. Unjury chicken Soup and vanilla, a sample pack of Syntrax Nectar flavors, and now the Premier and Isopure.

Liz, that sounds awful. I hope you feel better soon. Did your surgeon get ahold of you?

3 1/2 out of surgery and I'm eating Jello and drinking ok, hope to head home tomorrow -miss the kids and family. Had bad panikattach in hospital due to swelling, my first try at drinking made me feel like I was drowning that together with rubbish in my lungs making it hard to breath just set me off on a panikattach. But today I feel good, walking around taking a shower and missing home I'm so looking forward to my first latte .

I'm feeling the same way. Nervous, am I doing the right thing. No one knows our struggles. I've also been heavy all my life. And yes I've lost a lot of weight in the past. But it just came back on. Nervous or not I'm going for it.

similar story, but like you I did this for my kids... And I know I can lose weight by myself but I always go back and after 6 months or so are bigger then before the diet. I'm sure we are doing the right thing.

Congrats to all of you I was sleeved on Wednesday after battling the thought for over a year. I feel great a little discomfort but no major pain. I'm able to hold my liquids down, drink Water, Protein Shake no nausea going to the bathroom OK. I am a bit swollen, lost three lbs so far. Cant wait to start exercising. Life is good.

I'm so sorry your ill Liz

Hope it's just some swelling like I had, it was painful and very very scary!

Well the journey is just beginning. It has been a long year with the appt. and all. I didn't tell many people cuz someone always has something to say. And I have enough thoughts running through my mind. I feel we are all doin the right thing. My cousin had it done and he said the only regret is that he didn't do it sooner.
