Please give me some suggestions.  I am still unable to eat most foods and if I try something new it hurts or give me so much gas that it causes pain also.  I am stuck between full liquids and pureed food. Also, the heat and humidity is awful so I am not exercising as I should.  I think my body is in starvation mode so I am not losing and feel sick all the time.  I am not sleeping well either, average 3 hrs if I do sleep.  Any suggestions?

Pami   I am going to have surgery June 8, and life in Fredericktown.  Would there be anyone who live close enough who would like to meet at parks to walk/hike with?

I don't know much about the sleeve.
My advice is to talk to your surgeon ASAP. He is the one how knows what is going on.

I am pre-WLS, and am consulting with the same office as you. I've found the staff the be very accessible; you should try to call Laura the NUT. They are there to be supportive. Don't hold back.

You already have good advice about eating/food problems.

As for exercise I've been going to the Y for a water aerobics class.  I love it.  I can jog, do 100 jumping jacks, & move in ways I never could on land.  Plus I don't sweat!

Another pre-op opinion here... get on the phone ASAP and see what your dr's office has to say.  Some people get help with sleep aides so sleep pattern changes sound fairly normal to me.

Also - - did you try the Gas - X strips?  Recommendations for those are popular around here, too.  Walk walk walk... sip sip sip.  

Good luck!!!
