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... :/

      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!!
