No one said every bite would hurt. Is this normal?
on September 11, 2012 9:40 pm
I am still struggling with being uncomfortable when I eat.  I can't eat anything in the morning and sometimes I can eat around 2pm, but sometimes not.  I am just starting to feel like not eating anything because it hurts.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

Still find eating uncomfortable
on September 3, 2012 8:57 am
I was sleeved on July 16th and have been eating regular foods for a couple of weeks now.  I still find it uncomfortable to eat.  I stop because of pain, not because I feel full or satisfied.  Anyone else out there with that trouble?  Does it ever feel normal to eat again?  Maybe I should have stayed on liquids longer.   A lot of times when I eat, my heart starts pounding.  I don't know if that is normal or not.  I hope some day I can eat without feeling discomfort.  On the bright side, I have lost 31 pounds so far.  That is a great start and I have 94 pounds to go.

New and not feeling well
on July 23, 2012 11:04 pm
I just had the gastric sleeve on July 16, 2012 and I am not feeling well.  I am really cold, but no fever, I just ache and wish I could take a hot bath.  Does anyone know if I just took a quick bath that wasn't so deep it covered my incisions if that would hurt anything?  They had me take three showers in the hospital. 

I am just doing liquids so I am not sure what to put in my nutrition tracker.  I walk, but that's about it so far.  I am very tired and wondering if I have made a mistake?  I wish I was good at dieting and now I will have to be, but I don't feel good.  Can any other people with the sleeve share what they are eating and how it feels to eat in a couple of months?  I have trouble even getting all the fluids in because one sip will be fine and the next one is all bubbly and foamy, so I am trying to learn what works.  

I used to have the lap band from 2001-2005, but it had to be removed because it slipped and cut off the circulation to my stomache.  I was in the hospital for three weeks and nearly died a couple of times, so it is very scarey to be trying this wls again.  Any encouragement, support, words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
