:(
I am a little bummed. I am two and a half weeks post op and I do not feel like I'm losing much weight. Am I over reacting? Is this just in my head? I lost more during my week of liquids Pre op than I have post surgery. I lost 14 pounds Pre op and I still haven't lost a total of 20 pounds yet. Is something wrong????

Mothers With Young Children!
Cara I was sleeved 5-1

Mothers With Young Children!
Ideally yes that would work but not with my lil firecracker lol! I have a 2 door honda and I have to lift my right knee up to lean in the car to snap her in. That puts a lot of discomfort on my healing stomach. I will probably have my mother in law continue taker my daughter to day care this next week.

Mothers With Young Children!
I have a 2 year old and today I put her in the car to get a sno cone. I'm not sure what I did but I have hurt my right lower abdomen so I was just warning mothers to be careful if you have just been sleeved!!!!

Ugh! I Hate This Drain Part 3!
Well it's finally out! Thank you Lord!!!!!! I'm little disappointed that I have only lost 3 pounds since surgery on May 1st but I know from reading on here that is to be expected and my weight WILL come off. I have lost 16 pounds total so far and I am proud of that. They are gone forever!!!!! Thanks to everyone for tuning in to my drain saga

Ugh! I Hate My Drain, Part 2!
Please don't get me wrong, I am THANKFUL for my sleeve but this drain is about to drive me up the wall! I was sleeved on May 1st. I really thought about that too, why some dr's use drains and some don't? I have had to really empty mine out about 2 times a day too. After about a week, it becomes very tender and I have a 2 year old daughter who thinks its funny to sometimes pull on mine lol. It must come out soon!!
