I took 3 weeks and I am glad I did...i couldnt imagine returning on Monday....i have a primarily desk job but someone is always asking me to help them with something or I have meetings to go to and I just need one more week of rest. Also i start purees on Sunday (was originally scheduled to start on my first day back to work) and this gives me a week or so of adjustment time to "eating' with my new stomach.

i was told no exercise other than walking for 6 weeks

ok so i massaged it and felt the pain move...i just drank two cups of hot tea and it has subsided greatly I can honestly say that the gas is doing a number on me i just took my prilosec

i was sleeved on the 11th....i can honestly say I am not physically hungry...i think what I am feeling is head hunger...i am bored with liquids...and i see commercials and see friends/family eating and salivate...but i am not hungry...Its weird but prior if I went a whole day without food I would get a wicked headache...i honestly haven't gotten a headache since day 2 of my pre-op liquid diet

thanks Kat..i am inclined to think its gas because its more so under the rib cage...and when i massage it I get minor relief....i had my follow up on wednesday and was told everything looked fine. i did sleep on my stomach last nite...maybe it was too soon

my bmi was 49 at the time of surgery and I was done laparoscopically with no issues...i had a 2 week pre-op liquid diet

So I was sleeved on 4/11 and this morning I am in pain. First it was on the right side now its on the left...I dont know if its gas, or muscles tightening up....it kinda feels like a charlie horse in stomach muscles but if i try to stand straight up it hurts....i am walking hunched over or if I lay on the couch stretched out it feels better...i have been massaging it and it feels better when I do that....why am I regressing...when will this pain be over its not the direct incision but the area surrounding the incision Could it be gas

lemme clarify she said ground chicken or turkey...which is fine for me...i typically have turkey meatballs...but definitely no red meat for 6 mos

totally normal...i am totally paranoid. and was sleeved on 4/11 and i am fine...just pray and it will all work out

havent had caffeine yet but usually its a latte light from dunkin donuts....which has skim and splenda sometimes caramel if its SB caramel macchiato with skim and splenda no whipped cream

she said if mashed up in the sauce it can work

girl Sunday cant come fast enough

my guidelines say no red meat for six mos...i believe the same for rice etc

my nutritionist said chicken can be pureed..but stay away from chicken breast

try looking for a hotdog without nitrites....and opt for a chicken or turkey dog....i dont know about u...but i have been advised no red meat for 6 mos....and opt for relish for your pickle craving maybe??

i answered u in your original mushy post. Yes it is

i start mushies on Sunday i bought vegetarian chili, black bean soup, lentil soup, apple/apricot sauce, I have greek yogurt, ff pudding, s/f jello my nutritionist said eggs also she also said ground meats in sauces...so i am gonna buy some of my fave turkey meatballs and sauce eggface also has a baked ricotta I wanna try oh yeah cottage cheese

ditto my paperwork said sex in two weeks i have been turning gradually onto my side...each nite is easier but eventually it starts to hurt a lil but it gives my booty some relief

congrats! speedy recovery!

thats what I do and it helps a LOT

i love my boobies too i am a 44DD...i hope they at least stay a C-D cup
