I also have many times a day that I feel sick, like when you go to long without eating that kind of pain and nausea....sometimes it's all day that I feel that? :/

Do everyone seem to feel like nothing tastes good? Things I loved when I take a bite it's so different than I remember it tasting and once I have 2 or 3 bites I'm done because it's not good. I find myself having to make myself eat the stuff to get the proein in....I hate the shakes and bullets...

Crymsynlady How are you doing? I have no been able to get the protein in...I'm starting to freak out because I know how important it is but I'm trying all sorts of things and can't stand them. Where do you get the protien stuff you were talking about ? If anyone has any suggestions of...

Welcome sazzy! I just had the sleeve on 4/24 I'm thrilled with the decision I made to do this. I'm 12 days out and 20 lbs down, I honestly didn't expect much that quick. It's exciting and a new learning experience. People here have been so great to answer questions even if you think it's a...

Holy cow 100% very very happy, I'm not surprised at all :) Had i voted the week after just having it I'm not sure I'd have been able to say very very. Get that first week out of the way and it's AMAZING!!!!! I'm 12 days out and 20 lbs down YAY!!!!

Good luck to you ladybicknase! Be thinking and praying for you tomorrow as well. Sooooo exciting! :)

Yankeegirl.....Saying a prayer for you now! No looking back and no regrets! You'll do GREAT! :)

Good morning nhkitten, I had my surgery on the 24th of April (sleeve) It was rough the first week but now I've been walking for 30-40 minutes each morning and down 18 lbs already. Wooo hooo :) It's exciting and wish you the best! Welcome to the site...lots of helpful people on here :) Lori

How soon can I have some cottage cheese if I blend it up even more fine? I just think if I had a little bit for something other than liquid it would settle my stomach but I don't want to do it to early either?

Sadie...it's nice to see someone else that had the same surgery and we had it on the same day as well. I didn't think if my cramping lasted another day I could handle it. They have subsided today for the most part with just a little pain with the first sip :) My doctors said they had not had...

I haven't heard back anything yet. The nurse advised me to take the liquid hydrocodone (which I had not taken any since I got home) It masks the cramps for a while, so I guess I'll just continue using it as it does help some. I'll let you know when I hear from him what he says. Thanks

I'll get some GasEx and try it, at this point I'll try anything. The cramps are so bad that it doubles me over. I hope it wears off quick. I have only been able to eat about 8 teaspoons and then feel sick :( I've been walking every day just doing laps around my house and walking out to the...

Wow I'm surprised you can eat the things you are, I can have jello and clear liquids for the first week, second week they don't have to be clear and can try things a bit thicker, but the cottage cheese they said to wait until about the third week and absolutely no fruit. Maybe just a...

Today I'm having back pain between my shoulders, I guess it may be the gases moving around? I still have the same cramping sensation anytime I swallow anything and it hits my stomach. It's been alot rougher than I thought it was going to be. Just keep telling myself it's going to be worth it...

I did contact the surgeons office, he was in a long surgery and was going to be late. She said he'd call me last night but hasn't. She said I shouldn't be experiencing that, it's the first of this kind of complaint she has heard of. I'm not a whimp and do have a high pain tolerance, but it's...
