I would say that this is toatly normal. It could be how fast your eating how well you chew or the density of the particular food you are eating.

Awsome Job your are working your sleeve to the max!

welcome to VST and good luck with your insurance!

So I got dressed this mourning not realling paying attention to my underware just grabing any pair I found (That were clean). Then as I am waling around work thay keep falling down they just will not stay up, I wear baggy chef pants at work so my pants are not helping to keep them up at all and the pants have a low crotch so the underware are like hanging around my theighs, rather frustrating but kinda funny at the same time but I just have to look at the bright side that something that fit just fine the last time I wore them are falling off now, I am just happy it is not my pants at least I can hide this.Guess it is time to go shopping, Darn. I know kinda weird thing to talk about but I just had to tell some one and I clearly cant tell my employees I think they weould look at me like I had two heads.

I use myfitnesspal.com It is really easy to use, you can set your goals and it allready has so many foods in the system and if it is not there you can add them. I track Cal protien fat and carbs. Good luck with your pre op and your post op you are doing the right thing trying to prepare as much as you can pre op I am sure you will do just great with your loss.

Awsome job on the loss so far and thanks for the suggestion! I also liked the broccoli cheese soup all though I did not find it until the last day of my liquid diet.

Wow you look like a whole new person! Awsome Job!!!Congrtas

I had to drink 2 bottles of the magnesium citrate the day before and then only clears untill midnight. But iif your doc has ot told you to do one then dont worry about it, but if he does wind up saying you have to do it just be prepared to stay at home all day and not wonder off to far from the bathroom.

Congrats on passing your tests and good luck with your surgery

Congrats on passing yur tests and good luck with your surgery

I had dry heaves while I was on the Morphine in the hospital but once I left the hospital I stoped taking pain meds . Maybe it is your meds doing it? Sorry you feel so bad hope you get to feeling better soon. It really does get better every day

my Dr weighs me everytime I come in and I see him at one week one month then every three months. But I go by the eight I have at home since it is at the same time every time and I can be in my b-day suit no cloths adding extra weight. I weigh every day just because I find it interesting the corilation to what I did/ ate the day before to the amount lost or gained, but I only track on Wednesdays. But some people just cant handle the every day weigh in it drives them crazy. for me not knowing would drive me crazy.

Congrats on getting your surgery done and ovre with! As for the 8 pounds it is simply all the IV fluids that tthey pump into you from the time you enter the hospital to the time you leave, and dont worry that will come off quick plus lots more! As for the hunger could it be acid? Did they put you on an acid reducer yet? The pain in your right side is prolly from the gas I had a pain right under my right rib cage for days after surgrey but it dooes go away . Just try to do alot of walking. Although if you are really concerned with it call your dr they will know best. Good luck and keep us updated

Congrats on the 20 lb loss so quickly you will be at goal in no time!I was not aloud to eat mushy foods until day 15 and it was slow going at that my first meal was cottae cheese and I was only able to get in 2 oz before I got that "unconfortable feeling" But it does get better every day, I can now eat my 4 oz of pureed protien with very little trouble, and if it is really soft like greek yogurt or refried beans there is no trouble at all. I no longer have to take tiny sips I can take pretty much normal person sips just not able to guzzle drinks. Oh and I am on day 18 I had surgery on Oct 21st. So just try to have some thing to drink with you at all times yesterday was the first day I was able to actually get all 64 oz of fluids in and I had a bottle of water conected to me ALL DAY LONG , that is when I was not eating. Good luck to you

Thats just awsome, Congrats!

My insurance/DR required 5 EAP sessions, Phych eval, nut apt, Upper GI, blood work, h. pylori test, two tobaco tests, and the seminar. The dr some times also requires an apt with the cardiologist and the pulminologist fr the heavier patients. I went to my seminar in july and had surgery Oct 21st I could have gone sooner but I had to come up withthe rest of them money.

Mine makes little grumbling sounds its more things moving around in there then hungry growels though

hoop jumping is fun huh?!? Congrats on loosing the weight and getting through all the hoops!

I am 27 and had mine done oct 21st. I chose to tell just about everyone that would listen and have found great suport in doing this but it really is a very personal decision weather or not to tell. But we are all here for you either way you decide

I have a very up and moving kind of job adn 10-15 hour shfts so I took two weeks off, after the first week though I did feel well enough to go back but was glad to have the second week just to rest.

I have an auto immune disease but not lupis so I cant really comment on that but there is another person on here that does have Lupis who is in the process of getting aproved for the sleave, I will send her your name andhopefully you guys can trade some info.

I was drinking tomato juice with hot sauce and worchesterchire in it kinda like a virgin blody marie on my second week and my stomach had absolutely no problem with it. As for the BM I think it took like a week ad a half for that to happen. Good luck

I have two, he was suposed to do single insion but my liver was to big so I have a 2 1/2 - 3 in one inside my belly button and one 1/4 in one at the bottom of my rib cage. But honistly on the smaller one the bandaud iritation loos worse then the cut in like a month you wont even be abel to see it. Now the streach marks are a totaly different story!!! but I have no plans on sporting a bikini anyway but I think it made recovery easier to only have the one real insion

Congrats!! That was quick!

Awsome Awsome job you have gone so far so fast!!! Cant wait to be where you are
