Dont worry ur not the only one.. im right there with ya... i havnt lost anything the last 3 weeks since srugery, and i had my fill on the 13th...

The nurse at my office told me ill really start to feel the restriction after like the 3rd fill which was nice to know cause i didnt feel anything after....

Just keep on the right track as everyone keeps telling me and it takes time but it will.. someone told me that she noticed that she was loosing inches but the scale wasnt movin at all...

Stay positive, ur not alone in this!!!!!!!

I guess i was just expecting that as fast as i was losing it b4 i expected it to continue and it hasnt.. Im hoping its because my body is decreased in swelling and it is that time for an adjustment because i have healed...

friends and family seems to be noticing i have lost weight but i dont see what they see, guess thats also cause im more harsh on myself then they are.

Yes i have staples.. i have 1 staple on each of the smaller 4 incisions which are about 1/2 and inch long.. my biggest incision i have 4 staples which is about 2 1/2 inches long. i have one smaller one under each breast, one right at the bottom of my sternum, and one bout 2 inches over from my largest incision.. my largest incision is above my belly button about 4 inches to the left (looking down from my view, right for someone else looking at it)... I also have the steri strips over mine as well.

I know what you mean about wanting to go out but gettin tired very easily, i went shopping last night and i kept having to stop my friends to sit down for a bit cause i would get tired pretty easily..

Good luck to you too!!!

Good luck you can do it!!!!

I was scheduled to stay in overnight.. I am fine now, no nausea, minimal pain. Moving round still a little slow specially after i just wake up or have been sitting for a while i feel like an "old lady" cause i walk all hunched over. But other that the first day I have had no problems, my incisions look great, like i said minimal pain due to the gas and occasionally when i move cough, hiccup, or sneeze. My throat does still hurt a bit from the breathing tube they put in me durin surgery but that will hopefully go away in a few day

the dry heaving wasnt even that bad it was the pain caused from it since they r abdominal incisions. I used a pillow to support my stomach every time i coughed, sneezed, or got sick. Im hoping to take a shower tomorrow since my dr said it was okay and hopefully loosen up my muscles a bit, i would loveeeee to sit in a hot bath to relax but that cant happen.

well luckily i get ice chips right after surgery and by dinner im on clear liquids... but i will def have to remember to pack chap stick anyways..

I know for me being 22 and having friends that enjoy going out n drinking most weekends has been a bit rough for me not to, but i have gotten use to it. New years eve should be an adventure cause only two of my close friends know exactly what im having done

I was planning on possibly bringing a puzzle cause lately they have helped pass a lot of my time, and my phone of course!! lol.

Good luck to you too!!

I actually have a specific one i have to have from my surgeon. They is no name on it. It has gotten better. I plan on tryin to blend the one i have tonight up jus to see what is it like. but thank you!
