Thanks EMMA, I have struggled with depression in the past. The crying is beyond my control at this point. I am getting back on some meds for it as well. I promise you I will try to stop though. You are too kind.

Sleeva, thanks for your prayers. You have been really good about checking on me and I really appreciate it. I think the rest is up to me now, I have to get the vitamins in and get the exercise.

Thanks Jen! Lab were done last Monday, I'm waiting on the results.

I seem to be having the hardest time recovering from surgery. I will be 9 weeks out on Wednesday and I have not gone back to work.

The first 3 weeks went pretty good for the most part. I had a hard time getting my fluids and protein in, but I was getting there.

Week 4 things changed drastically. My taste changed and I started throwing up everything that I tried to eat or drink, everything was too sweet. I had severe nausea, to the point I felt like I had a hangover. I went to the ER several times for fluids but that did not make things any better. I just had to fight through it. I went through that right up until week 7 where things started to calm down.

Week 8 I was able to finally get my protein in and getting pretty close to the 64oz of fluids. I have been in the house all of this time just trying to survive, i have become so weak. My muscles have turned to complete flab.

My friends came by on Saturday to take me shopping because I was supposed to go back to work today. I almost passed out in Ross, I had to sit in the middle of the floor to keep from passing out.

I'm so overwhelmed and depressed, I can't stop crying. I don't know how to make things better. I have not been getting any exercise because I have been so weak. I also had not been getting my vitamins because I could not keep anything on my stomach. My surgeon just keeps saying things will get better. I just want to feel better. Please pray for me.

Hijacking thread just for a sec. Just want to say Congrats to hwag on losing a 100lbs. I have been so sick I must have missed the post. You Go Girl!

Stacie, I'm right there with you. I am 8 weeks out today and I still struggle. I just found a protein shake that I can get down, but it makes me kind of sluggish. Water for me is a joke, can't drink it plain to save my life. I can only eat about 3 to 5 bites of any given food and I'm done.

Like you every night I say I am going to get in all of my protein and fluids and I just can't seem to get there. It takes me 3-4 hours to drink a 10oz shake. It completely baffles me when I read that someone can eat 2 eggs and a slice of bacon at 2-weeks out.

I will be praying that things get better for the both of us soon.

ETA: I often wonder if my sleeve is too small.

Thanks for the info H.B.!

Ulysses, I am sorry to hear that you had to go through another surgery. For some reason I thought you were recovering from the earlier leak. I pray that things get better for you soon. Keep us update.

hag, your are still on a nausea med? Damn, I was hoping this would all be over by the time I got to where you are. I do have Zorana, but I am so dehydrated the **** won't dissolve under my tongue. Needless to say that makes me throw up too. My surgeon gave me a patch and I was throwing up even with that. Again things have been ugly around here.

Thanks Maureen! I have to go back to work soon and that won't work for me at the office. Although I'm not sure how I am supposed to work like this. How long did it take for things to go back to normal for you or did they?

Thanks DansSue! I have not tried either of those. I will be on the look out.

Thanks Tripmom! I have tried the decaf tea, but it is so strong. Should it taste like regular tea? Maybe I am doing something wrong when making it.
