i have four five if you include the drain line which i got taken out yesterday! ) and its aleady closed.. anyway the first two are pretty much two inches down from each boob the other two are two more inches down in the center of where the other two are... they are healing nicely i should have very little scarring )

Oh yes. I was the same way. I even went through the what the hell have I done to my self stage. Just remember this to shall pass. It is normal to be on an emotional rollar coaster right now. All I can say is it will get beter I promise. Best of luck

The surgery does actually effect hormones, so that could be it. But have no fear the journey gets easier/better with each day that passes.

Its an emotional time, my support group said that many have feelings of overwhelming emotion after the surgery, your not alone, and soon enough you will be better, its a daily walk for a life time of change, stay strong and you will be fine. I have cried about three times since the surgery, the first being the feeling of completion, second was a feeling of loss in losing a part of myself I couldn't control, and the third was the joy of seeing myself get stronger each day. I am 16 days out and I went to the gym for the first time since surgery today, I felt like I was lazing off... only to be sent home by my sleeve buddy who had her surgery last year, as she told me this morning "you have had a major surgery, let your body heal at its own rate" "when its time, then you can do all the things you want without fear of complications." So, I say the same to you.. let your body heal and let your hubby help you, everyday you will be better and better

I started a 'secret' May 2012 Sleevers group on Facebook, if anyone wants to join me on there. Figure we can all keep in touch & chat with each other!
It is secret group, which means that nobody can see the group, nobody can see the members & nobody can see the posts.
I know some of us haven't told all our facebook friends & may want to keep it that way for now. So made it secret.
Now to add you, you have to be my friend, so if you want to friend me then look up Sharon Ivanauskas, also send me a message saying you want to joint he May 2012 sleevers group, so I know who you are!

8 oz. Fat Free Cream cheese
1/2 c. Splenda
1 small box SF vanilla instant pudding
1 small box SF chocolate instant pudding
2 1/2 c. Skim milk
1tsp. Vanill1 c. Cool Whip free
Beat cream cheese and Splenda until smooth them spread in the bottom of 9x9 dish. In mixing bowl, combine pudding mixes, milk and vanilla and mix until thickened. Spoon mixture over cheese layer. Refrigerate for at least two hours to set layers. Top with Cool Whip before serving.
Note: 1/4 c. Pecans can be added to dessert if you like. I add then between cheese and pudding layers.

I'm may 11th too!

My new life starts May 8. My biggest worry is did my liver shrink enough. I've lost 38 - 40 pounds pre op been working on that since Feb 8. I'm getting excited. I keep telling myself in about 2 - 3 week I can have something besides liquids.< /p>

I started the liquid diet early myself just yo get use to it....

my surgery was supposed to b the 30th of may buut my Dr called and wants to do it the 11th omg its really gonna happen!!! Sheesh I have alot to take care of in a week....

oh im so glad you asked this i havent had children of my own yet and this was a major concern of mine!

haha and don't forget, your woodpile can grow if you lose the extra "shed"

With all the crap in them......why would you want to drink a soda? Plenty of healthy choices on things to drink. Use your surgery as a chance to get a clean break from that stuff.
