  1. I was sleeved just a week ago. Last night I was eating a pudding, and probably a little too fast..LOL. Well I took a big bite and felt like it literally stretched my sleeve a bit. Like I could feel it, kind of a stretchy pain. Now all day today I have a weird pain if I eat or drink anything. It's near my belly button. It's more of a sore overworked muscle feeling than like a sharp pain. Knowing me I probably damaged something!!!
  2. I was told to NEVER chew gum. Reason being that if you accidently swallowed it it could plug up the inlet or outlet to your stomach.
  3. Has anyone else experienced this. Its after I take a drink. Its a weird almost crampy feeling above my belly button. Its got me scared....
  4. Oh yes completely normal!!!!!
  5. I feel it too. I can literally feel it running down then near my belly button I get a bit of pain.
  6. Cool jammies wick away the sweat. Just search Google for something like "night sweat pajamas" and I'm sure you'll find them
  7. Do you all eat it or do you think its too acidic for our healing tummies?
  8. I was able to finish an entire pudding cup today at one week out. Of course it was VERY SLOWLY but I was surprised I could do it at all. Normal????
  9. I am one week out. My stool pretty much normalized until today. I drank a low Carb slim fast, and It was like a faucet turned on!!!! Now I know certain foods can cause nausea...but How about diarrhea? Has anyone else experienced this?
  10. Your stomach will rupture? Like the line where they stapled it will get weak and break? I'm sorry for being negative, but this is the kind of thing that occupies my mind
  11. Where has the majority of your pain been? Right or left???
  12. I will be one week out tomorrow. Today I am having sleeve pain after I drink. Its a quick pain. Its like I can feel the liquid moving through and then a bit of pain comes. I've cut way back on the pain Med so maybe I'm just feeling more? Please share if you have experienced this. Thanks.
  13. I have suffered from night sweats, except mine have been for treats. One leading cause is sleep apnea. Mine Are a result of polycystic ovarian syndrome. My hormones are constantly fluctuating. For the time being try the cool pajamas designed for us night sweaters.
  14. Did you experience nausea? Seems I can't hold much down if I don't take my anti-nausea pills. Please share your experiences.
  15. Chris how soon after surgery did you start exercising? And how much more do you have to lose? Congratulations on your success!
  16. I am wondering how those of you with PCOS have done since your weight loss? I Have heard it really seems to do well after WLS. I lost a ton of hair from the PCOS. I am hoping to grow some back as the PCOS improves....
  17. I have extremely thin and extremely curly hair. I'm sure down the road I will be near bald. Can anyone suggest where to get a hair piece? Or maybe a type?
  18. Start exercising? I am anxious to begin but don't want to risk rupturing my pouch.
  19. What are your favorite mushies? I still Have 3 weeks on liquids, but am looking forward to some mushie variety.
