I just had my sleeve done in Monday and I was able to come home last night. Anyone else have feelings that they made the wrong choice? I can handle the pain, but the nausea is killing me. Every time I try to drink anything it feels like liquid fire!! Anyone else experience this? If so how long does it last before you start feeling better. Thanks in advance!

I was sleeved June 21st 2015. As for drinking and feeling like its liquid fire, I can't help you on that one. I personally never experienced that feeling but as for the nausea and feeling that you've " made a mistake?", I was right there with you. I was extremely nausea, dizzy and just felt like " what did I do to myself?!?! But believe me, it all goes away and then you realize it's the best decision you've ever made! It took about a month for me to feel good about what I had done. In my situation, the first month was HELL. After the nausea went away, I was left with extreme hunger..... Good luck to you!

That is very helpful! I think it burns because of the reflux. I have never had reflux until having this surgery. Today so far has been a pretty good day, it's just all so hard to wrap my head around.

I never had the burning. I was just nervous about eating and drinking. I took a zofran a day for about 2 months for the nausea. I have never regretted my surgery. I've had my ups and then my downs with the stalls but I am so happy I did it. I am nine months out. Just had my 9 month check up today. I have lost 91% of my excess body weight. Doctor is extremely pleased with the loss and considers me at a goal weight. My absorption tests are normal. My lipid panel blood pressure, and insulin are all normal.

The night that I got out of the hospital, I had a 4 hour drive home. IT WAS AWFUL. I wasn't able to keep liquids or medication (including sub-lingual, the taste made me sick) down for a solid week after returning home. I regretted my decision because of the nausea. It felt like it was never going to end. And that mixed with heart burn made me feel like I made the dumbest decision ever, although I kept that to myself. What helped me was ice Water. That soothed my heart burn and felt nice on my heeling tummy. It took until week 4-5 for that to mostly go away for me (thanks to prescription heat burn and nausea meds). Now I am a month post op and I can drink Water pretty normally, as well as eat normally. I no longer regret my decision. Everyone has the initial regret because there is no way that you can be prepared for how truly hard it will be. Just stick with it and stay strong, eventually you will look at it as the best decision you have ever made.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
