  1. I have these cramps that come and go on my left side. I can't figure out what could be going on but it is very uncomfortable and seems like it is getting worse. My Dr. says he doen't know what it could be and will probably have me take some tests. I was sleeved 7 mo. ago and just started this last month. Has anyone experienced this?
  2. something is going on under my left rib. Its not exactly pain but discomfort kind of like spasms or contractions/grinding. I have no idea what his could be and do not have any other symptoms except constipation. Does anyone have an idea what this could be. I see my doc march 19th

  10. Being sleeved tommorow and would like some help as to adding photos and the ticker tracker, Not great at using the computer so be specific as to the steps to take. I am an old computer dummy and mis my kids being around to show me what to do. Thanks
  11. I am being sleeved tommorow and I am not afraid of the surgery but starting to fret over the loss of my social life. Most always friend get togethers are over food and alcohol or dinning out.. My husband and I are weekend social drinkers, we have a boat and drinks throughout the day have become a norm. Its a good thing that I am 53 for I see it would be more difficult as a young woman in her 20's in todays society. We like to travel and go to places that are all inclusive but it looks like that would be a waste of money. Please help me with some tips on how to drink and eat sleeved yet still be safe.. I know it will be several months before I will even begin to experiment but If youve had similar experiences I wold like to hear from you.
  12. Thanks for the tips! I love cottage cheese so that will work for my lunch.
  13. Everyone seems so organized as to food plans etc. I am a very unorganized person who eats most meals out and has a tough time preplanning meals. I'm sure that is why I have always been unsucessful with most diets. I am worried that I will have trouble planning and preparing meals as well as keeping on top of my vitamins. Anyone got some helpful tips
  14. What is the connection with the gall blader and WLS. It seems like alot of people have it removed,
  15. Thanks for all the good advise. I have done a lot of research on both the band and sleeve and was concerned about the poor results with the band. I am going to keep my surgery date for the sleeve and pray that all goes well. It sure helps to have some support out there.
