Thanks for everyone's good wishes!!

I JUST left the hospital. I'm so tired. But I'm fine! They did a bunch of tests and I was definitely dehydrated but I'm ok. Good night!! xoxo

Great to hear! Take care.

I had the sleeve done 3/5/2013 and today is the first day that I am noticing any problems. I'm getting light headed and dizzy as well as feeling nauseated. Kind of scared that I was fine and now experiencing these discomforts. Anyone else having this issue?

I was sleeved the 4th and started getting dizzy spells Thursday. My doc said I'm probably overdoing things since I feel great and my body is telling me to slow down.

Also remember you're not getting the calorie amount your body is used to. Have your blood pressure checked to make sure that's not it. Sugar too in case you're diabetic.

My dr said its super unlikely do be deficient in any Vitamins this early in the game.

Take it easy and I hope you feel better.

I was sleeved 3/4/13. I find that if I do to much I get those same symptoms. I sit down and relax until it passes. Are you doing to much? Good luck to you. I hope you feel better soon.

Now i understand wat i have read about the "the dont trust a fart" thing. Damn this gas. Am i the only one that cant stand Soup? Idk is the smell the taste it makes me nauseous.

HI - I am not able to stand Soup either, never have been. So I am straining Campbells chicken noodle and just sipping the broth once a day - getting in about 2 ounces doing that. My sleeve was on 3/12.

So after that long night in the hospital I would havehoped they fixed me. I feel like crap! I've thrown up twice since I've been home. I can't even hold down a couple swigs of Water. This sucks! I feel so dried out, and I haven't put any nutrients in my body in days. Any advice?

MK1986, MiraLAX dissolves into any drink hot/cold with no taste what so ever. It's great. I was sleeved 3/5 and started taking it every other day a few days ago. I'm actually pretty regular. However, I know have to be very careful when passing gas... :/

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
