then youre going to do greeeeat! i had no pain after surgery. just a little sore. bring mouth wash for the dry mouth & all else will fall into place!

good luck!!! i was sleeved dec 20th. in my experience so far, its not easy! im praying that itsworth it at the end. i figured out a way to get out of bed by myself without much pain. my incisions still hurt. i wish i could fast fwd this part. i hold liquids down ok. Protein shakes make mesick so i havent had any... SUPPORT is needed! u need ppl supporting you, not just virtual. i fell into a depression because most of my friends went mia all of a sudden, holidays, surgery, ex boyfriend, everything! itshard but im coping!!! i dont regret my decision as of yet but i do wish i wouldve waited a few weeks so that the holidays wouldnt feel how they do. other than that, all is well. after surgery, i felt no pain! only a severe dry mouth that wouldnt go away. a sore throat that didnt hurt that bad & thats it!

we buy ours from a lady in bronx ny! they aredelicious. we buy them by the dozen and we even sell them for more!

r we able to eat ketchup cuz i looooove drenching my pasteles in it. my mommy says i kill the taste to the pastele pero what does she know lol

i enabled it so i get notified when ppl pm me

thank you for sharing your story!

ok this hasscared the daylights out of me!!! lol. im supposed to start mushies next week (i think) but since im not getting in any Protein & i start work next week, inthought of slipping in a little apple sauce in here and there. the shakes just are so gross ;(

i didnt see a message but i will check again!! let me say that you DEFINITELY need support. i never understood it until now. the holidays definitely didnt help & his actions during this vulnerable time makes things worse but im going to pull up my big girl panties & deal with it!

i soooo know the feeling. i cant wait until i get out of these plus sizes!

i cant waaaaait to eat pasteles!

im sure u r perfectly fine!

me too!!

i hope u feel better

we can eat potted meat? i like potted meat

thats not a bad idea.

well hey, atleast i get 1 out of 2! i so badly want to guzzle Water but i know i cant. ugghhh!

hmmmm'!!! thats going to be a very huge issue for me cuz i eat & drink & eat & drink! im afraid lol

im scared to even try!

wait so never ever ever again will we be able to eat & drink again? never?

yay!!!! i just cant imagine doing a crazy hard workout & then only being able to just sip forever!! :/ also, will we ever be able to drink & eat at the sametime?

i was sleeved dec 20th & i now see why we have to sip because those pains are NO JOKE!!!! but my question is... will we have to sip for the rest of our lives or will we eventually be able to guzzle again?

inside? oh thats weird! could it be ur period?

maybe the weather? i know sometimes the weather made my gall bladder incisions would hurt. did you scratch it? is it red?

im a 23yr old rican chick! i can relate a lot to your story but one part stuck out to me... you said you are 5'4 and earlier this year, your weight was 197. that leaves you at a BMI of 34. now your next step is to find out what your insurance requirements are because some insurances require 2-5yrs of weight history. if they do request that, you will not qualify & will strugglewith appeals to be approved. mine required 2yrs but i provided 6yrs. i am 5 days post-op.
