  1. I was the same way. I think I even posted about it. I was scared I was able to take in too much while still wanting more. Same with mushies. But now i'm on more solids food and i'm getting fuller. Protect your tummy. Keep doing what you're doing. And everything will get better. I still feel like I can eat a lot but I am losing so it's ok.
  2. I had 4 plus my drain incision. I often wondered the same thing though good question.
  3. I am 5 1/2 weeks out and I have not had that problem.
  4. I had my surgery on feb 11 and I had my period then. And I have had it since 3 times. I know gross. But it's just the side effects of surgery from what I heard.
  5. Thanks brazcan, i'm feeling better. How are you?
  6. Thanks suzie for all the great ideas. I will definately be using them. This forum is awesome and all the people. Thanks again.
  7. Yes this happens to many of us. I lost and gained the same 2 lbs back over and over again for week 2 thru 3 but lost 9 lbs in weeks 4 and 5. Just keep doing the right thing it will come off soon.
  8. Thanks feed and abbey I do take a ppi. But i'm going to switch it up. And yes I can't wait either abbey.
  9. Well weightbgone I feel your forested for sure. But lets just stand by each other and be supportive and we'll come thru on the other side.
  10. Thanks. I think your right. I'm definately not getting my fluids in but i'm trying.
  11. Hi all. I'm 22 lbs down which is a great thing. But i'm so tired of not feeling good. I don't feel good all the time. I'm tired, sluggish, and lazy. I get stomach aches. I get a tight feeling in my chest all the time. I have heartburn all the time. I know I should be grateful but I just miss the old way of eating you know when you actually enjoyed it. Sorry just venting. Everyone else seems to love there sleeve at 5 weeks. I just kinda like it a little at this point.
  12. I don't think it's lactose intolerance. I've been drinking milk every now and then for heartburn and feel ok afterwards. Maybe just a tummy ache. Thanks. I'll keep you up to date.
  13. Thanks patty, I feel better now just a lot of discomfort. The pain has subsided. It was just the one day. Now i'm just tired of the discomfort. But i'm a trooper i'll be fine.thanks patty.
  14. I am from s.f. Although I live in modesto now. I go out there all the time. You are still an inspiration to us newbies and will soon be in onederland!
  15. I also went to mexico for my sleeve. I went to Dr. kelly and found the experience to be wonderful. It was $5300 with 2 night hospital 2 night hotel. You can pm me and i'll give you the direct number to his assistant.
  16. You're a rock star as well and amazing. You are such an inspiration and have already proven to be as survivor. Go on rock star keep rocking that sleeve
  17. Congratulations, keep up the great work. You're an inspiration.
  18. Congratulations!!! Keep up the good work.
  19. Yes I got the hiccups 2 days after surgery and thought this can't be good. But it was fine. Now I get them when I eat to fast.
  20. Welcome and good luck on your journey.
  21. Hello everyone, so today I woke up with the worse stomach ache. I have no fever. Just a stomach ache. It feels like really bad cramps. I think I have the mirena iud so I haven't had cramps in years. Anyone else experience this? I'm starting to get worried maybe i've done damage to my new tummy. Earlier I laid in a bath and that helped while I was in there but not now that i'm out... It's the next day the pain is gone but I feel so nauseous. I think I might go to the er soon. See if they'll do a leak test. Anybody experience these things at 5 weeks out.
