  1. I was kind of worried about this first appt because two days ago I started to experience this horrible pain in my upper belly according to the dr I pulled a muscle and need to ice it, he also re upped my pain meds so that will make things a little better. Good news to me I am down from 314 day of surgery to 298 I am so happy I can't wait until this pain is gone so I can start walking more I am also now on stage 4 that's a good thing also
  2. Congrats...when were u sleeved? I cant wait to hit goals
  3. For the past two days I haven't been able to stand up straight. I am 10days post op and besides the regular pain of the incision I have this pulling pain at the top of my stomach when I try to stand up. I thought I should just stand up quick this morning it hurt so bad I broke down into tears. I called my dr the nurse said since I am coming in today we can talk about it then but I guess I will be walking in there hunched over I think something is wrong anyone else have/had this problem?
  4. I would say maybe its the pepper. Write down what you ate see if it happens with anything else. Im only 9days post op so im guessing
  5. I work for verizon they didn't consider the bypass elective so they are allowing me std
  6. I am 9days post op still in pain in the usual spot but now this morning I have a burning feeling at the top of my stomach when I yawn or make certain movements. It feels like im pulling a muscle but instead of just pain it burns. What could be the problem? Also burns when I stand up straight
  7. Its so crazy I guess cause before we could just eat heck even if I had 2 fork fulls of each lol....I can't wait until we can again just this time we will do it in moderation
  8. Im 7days post op doing really well on all liquids but as I am sitting here I wish I could have mac and cheese, tuna salad, and baked chicken. I know there isn't a protien shake out there to help that craving and I know soon I will be able to have a small amount but gosh that would taste so good right now. lol
  9. Interesting...I would be curious to know the answer to this one also.
  10. Sugar free jello pudding either premade or I make it.
  11. I work for a call center. The good thing is no lifting but bad thing is you have to sit for 8 hours straight besides lunch time. If you get up from your desk you are docked time for going to the rest room plus now im still on pain meds every 6 hours...I have a high tolerance for pain but im having a hard time healing from this one
  12. I use the whey protien, I have the choc one and vani one no sugar it makes the pudding even better plus it makes me feel like im not just snacking im actually getting something good out of it lol. I just do a tbs of the powder and stir it in
  13. My company offers it. I have my first post op appt on friday im thinking I should call my dr tomorrow and ask for more time instead of waiting until friday. Not sure what to do right now.
  14. I do 4oz of protien shake three times a day I do 4oz of crystal light two times I do 4oz of chicken broth I do 4oz of jello (sugar free) I do 4oz of pudding with protien powder mixed in And of course lots of water. What does everyone else do for breakfast lunch and dinner? I was sleeved on May1st still on a liquid diet.

  17. According to my std im supposed to be back next Monday what if im not. As of now my belly still hurts its hard to stand and walk long distances, I have a lot of loose stool. Now im getting nervous about work next week. Will my dr extend it? Im scared
  18. Don't focus too much on your weight day to day liquid diets show their true amount after a few days
  19. I thought it wasn't gas pain also its like a sharp pain in my shoulders but it is gas try gas x. I noticed it more when ever I put pressure on myself with walking or trying to get up from a laying or standing position. It actually is gas although it doesnt feel like it.
  20. Thanks everyone I am going to stay on top of the meds and try the pillow tonight. No its not gas that's a whole different problem of mine lol but gas x is my friend. Gravity hurts so much hope this is over soon
  21. Yea I am going to take them more often I did take them when I did the post so that finally kicked in. I hope the soreness goes away soon
  22. I take them before bed, so by the time early morning comes they have worn off that's what's killing me
  23. So I am 5days post op today and I can only sleep on my right side (the side of the incision) yet last night that didn't even work it hurts so much now im on the recliner not knowing what to do. The pain isnt bearable at all. Help.
  24. Im still on a liquid diet 4days post op but I don't feel full like I see some other posters. I do only eat what im supposed to and I am satisfied on only liquid but I don't feel full I feel like I can have pizza or steak. I am really wondering if I had surgery the pain reminds me but that's it. Im considering testing it and seeing what happens but I wont.
  25. Im 4days post op
