I'm so sorry I'm hoping they did check you for a leak? I'm not sure how far out you are but a friend of mine had vaginal bleeding and pain and she had a hysterectomy years ago...turns out her pain and bleeding was a leak. My thoughts are with you! Please keep trying to find answers!

I totally understand, I quit about 5 years ago because I was getting bronchitis and pneumonia all the time and quitting was so hard and I didn't have anything else going on in my life like major surgery and life change. It was hard, hard but I did succeed and my lungs got better, thank goodness. I have faith you'll be able to do it when you are ready. Just always remind yourself you're strong enough and you can do it, if needed.

Have you been following any lifting restrictions? Don't want to be lifting anything too heavy too soon.
The discomfort you are feeling sounds familiar. But don't let unknown pain go on too long before checking with your doc.
I did have a little aching pain in approximately the same area when I was in the first month range. I have an incision in that area. Hope you feel better soon

Yes it's normal.
You have some internal stitches that are tugging at your internal muscle walls. Do a search on here. You'll find many people with this issue.

Amen!!!

Ok now I'm hungry and I am no good in the kitchen off I go to make a mess!!

The only thing I can offer is follow your doctors recommendations to a T..no sneaking ice either I know it's very difficult, but you have to tough it out to get well. I am SOOO sorry you are going through this! I was down for 2 months and I have children too. My husband was my saviour..I hope you have alot of support from home..they have it easy compared to what you are going through so don't feel bad for them..take their help.

I'm sorry,,I wasn't downing you. I did have a leak as well,,I was just trying to encourage you..sorry it didn't come off the way I meant it. You just said you were sneaking ice,,if your doctor says it's ok,,then by all means whatever makes you comfortable and is ok for you to do. I know how important it was to not have a single drop in my stomach while healing. I too was on tpn with a pic line and antiobiotics,,home healthcare..the whole bit so I do know what you are going through.

girlfriend

congrats on WLS and loosing 17 lbs. totally terrific
this is your first stall? won't be your last
this too shall pass
you are under one month post surgery - much more good to come
there are many posts/threads on stalls that other people have written.
you are most definitely not alone
stalls can last anywhere from 2 weeks/ 2 month/ even longer
don't despair (msp?)
sooner than later you'll be on your continued uphill journey with the sleeve, to get your weight to go downhill - and your health and happiness will continue to go upwards too
all good things come to those who wait
good luck

For me it was the towel. It has been so long since I could wrap a regular size bath towel around me!

Drat wanted it to be a cross dressing dog! lol

My daughter paints our dogs toe nails a different color every week, its hard because he is a boy dog

I wish I could tell you to go but (and of course this is my opinion) 3 days after surgery you should be at home. You will barely be comfortable in your own bed. Some even sleep on a couch or recliner for the first week or two. I'm just worried you will be miserable and may even risk your health if you go. I do wish you the very best in your decision!!
(((Hugs)))

Yeah, I was told if my pain medicine did not help the pain then go to the ER. So if you take your pain medicine and an hour or two later you have no relief I believe you should go to the ER or at the least call your surgeon. I'm so sorry you are hurting and haven't found an answer to why yet. You are in my thoughts!

I find people are less interested in what I am eating anymore interested in what they are eating. Put food on your plate and move it around, you don't have to eat it! The world according to egg face has some great ideas for things to bring to social situations. Have a look there for ideas.

I love nectarines,peaches,plums,blueberries and strawberries. I have fruit everyday.

Jr,
Just don't do it, not this early out.
Now is the time to learn new Eatting habits, after u hit goal then u can on occasion go off and eat some junk food.
The first six months you want to invest in weight loss and changing the habits that created our obesity.
Good luck, think positive and skinny thoughts

I agree! This thread is awesome. The question was answered and we got to go down memory lane with some very witty posters. I was smiling each time I read the responses. It was nice. Laughter is a good thing and the people posting were enjoying each others posts. I did not see anyone laughing *at* someone. It was a great exchange of info and fun.

You look beautifulllllll!!!!

Makes you think your scale is broken doesn't it. I remember I was scared that it was too easy.
Whoop whoop
