This is kind of creepy but too funny to keep to myself.. I am six weeks out and down forty pounds from starting weight. I have noticed that i am getting a lot of random male attention. Got hit on, doors held open, the elevator kept waiting, rushed ahead in lines and even got a rose from my smoothie guy. I knew stuff like this could start happening. The thing that struck me the most though was when a arandom homeless guy said, " hey sexy". It hit me that i hadnt been hit on in many many years - not even by the homeless!! Is it a nsv?? Well, it has nothing to do with the homeless guy but i gotta say, it was indeed an nsv!!!

Hi there- i am six weeks poat op frm aleeve and had my gb removed this mornIng. I had been having gallstone attacks for a few years and didn't know what it was. Had a nasty attack last Friday and left work in an ambulence and there you have it. I thought they were supposed to check your gall ladder and remove it if you were having issues( at the same time as wls)?? Anyone have thoughts on this?

I can cross my legs and my jeans fell off today. 5 weeks out and feeling great!!!

I was sleeved on 12/28 and I have been able to drink pretty normally since about day 7.

Chobani makes a 0% and 2% yogurt. The 2% is so much better! I get the strawberry banana. I also do the honey flavored yoplait. I have been drinking herbal life protein and meal replacement and it ts really good - better than whey. Good luck!

True religion

I am ten days out and it got better for me. Today I realized I hadn't spent all day thinking about food!! Ok I tried to eat ice cream and had a tummy ache. Now I can't tolerate dairy at all. God has a wicked sense of humor....

I am allowed skim milk as a clear fluid so I could try it right away. I can do creamed soups on day ten and had my first decaf latte today.

I think i have seven including one hidden inside my belly button that i cannot see.

Hi there i am on day five and i had a ton of food envy today. I actually have been dreaming about food and in my dream was trying to figure out how to make liquid frosting!! It freaks me out that i will never regain control over food. Help- tell me it gets better!!!

Ok i am feeling the same thing! I am 5 days out. I feel yucky today and nauseaus and i want to eat everthing but i do think it is my head. My doc showed me something cool after the surgery -i had him take pics . He said that the part of my stomach which regulates hunger and satiety physically doesnt work. It has scar tissue that stopped the blood supply. I have no idea why i would have scar tissue (no injury). He said that half of his patients have this issue. When i think back in my life i have only known two modes: so starving that i am nauseaus and my tummy grumbles and so full that i can barely breath. I think it has been related to my stomach. So , knowing all of that, i cant trust my body to tell me when i am hungry or not so i am following i structions to a "t and trusting the experience of my surgeon. It is helping to think of it that way. I dont think its worth the risk of a rupture to screw with the meal plans so hang in there!! Also i took real soup (beef stew) and heated it up and then strained it and it was a hundred times better than broth. Just a thought!

I am having pain in the same area and i am 5days out. My doc also said it was bcuz he took the stomach out there. I am stupidly trying to stay off the drugs so i am starting back up on the tonight. Good luck i hope everything is ok!! A hot water bottle helps me.

I had mine on the 28th and i have actually gained weight. I chalk it up to water retention. Hopefully this isnt a sign of things to come! I addume my body is just totally freaking out right now. Hang in there!

Thanks everyone! My doc recomends the timer so i dont go too slow or too fast. I went with dr. Baker at unity. I dont mind the timer i just struggle because i want to sleep and i am not getting in 42 oz (recommended first day home) and i cant stay awake long enough to do it. i want to drink faster but i am also afraid it will hurt if i do. Any experience with this

Hi there- i am two days out and at home-yay- and my plan has me drinking two half ounce sips of liquids every 15 minutes. When does the timer thing end and what is the next step the ? Take small sips more often?
