Hi everyone,

I was sleeved July17th and everything went ok. I will be starting soft foods this week and I am getting my protein in through shakes. I am still struggling with water but I am slowly increasing. My biggest problem is anxiety, or just a feeling of loss of control. I could use a pal that understands the after surgery emotions.

HI THINGS WILL GET BETTER. I HAD SUCH ANXIETY AND PANIC ATTACKS ( I DID HAVE THEM BEFORE SURGERY) AFTER SURGERY AND THEY WERE MORE THEN USUAL . I THOUGHT OH MY GOD I CANT LIVE LIKE THIS, BUT THINGS HAVE BEEN SOOO MUCH BETTER,. THE CAUSE OF THEM WAS STRESSING FROM TRYING TO GET IN A LL THE PROTEIN AND WATER . I WAS FREAKING OUT TILL FINALLY I REALIZED I CAN ONLY DO WHAT MY BODY WILL LET ME. IT TOOK TIME TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL BUT IT WILL HAPPEN . I STILL STRUGGLE WITH THE WATER CAUSE I JUS TDONT FEEL THIRSTY AND I DONT FEEL LIKE DRINKING ALL DAY LONG . YOU ARE ONLY ALMOST A MONTH OUT AND I PROMISE YOU IT WILL GET BETTER ,,I DIDNT THINK IT WOULD AND IT HAS SOO MUCH BETTER. I AM HERE TO LISTEN WHENEVER YOU NEED FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME.

Hi, I am from the Hurricane, WV area. I am going through St. Marys WLC with Dr. Robarts as my surgeon. I have not had surgery yet, but am close. I have jumped through the hoops. Just waiting on a medical situation to be resolved and ins. submission. Hoping for October surgery. Would love to follow your journey with you.

Thank you so much for your reply, it sounds like you know exactly how I feel. It helps me to know that there is light at the end of this tunnel.

Hi Mimi,

I would like that as well, hopefully I can help you.
