Breathe and take one day at a time.

Pain when swallowing? Does it feel like glass? Does your tongue have a white tinge to it? If so, it is Thrush. I ended up with that. Hurt when I swallowed. Then I realized my tongue looked not normal. Two weeks of antibiotics and all better.

Get past the next few weeks, and you will be awesome.

Well I unfortunately have kept it. I can get really bad attacks that feel like contractions.but don't worry, it's rare. If it lasts for more than a month id tell ur surgeon tho.

I also am having these problems and im a week out. It doesn't really happen so much with liquids as just foods and yes im eating puréed foods in very small bites. I find that if I take a deep breath as its happening it seems to stop it. Perhaps you could try that? Good luck and Id definitely mention it to your surgeon at your post op.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
