I am wearing a girdle to help hold it... I can walk ok when I wear it .. If I don't wear it I have to hold my stomach in that area ... I have had this since day 1...the numbness is getting a little better but even at night when I go to bed and the sheets touch that area I quickly put my hand in between.., my dr said to give it time!!! I thought 4 weeks was enough but I guess not

I am 4 weeks post and I have that same pain on my right side.. Went to dr today and he said to give it time... It's very tender to the touch and sore... I have to hold it to walk

I'm 5 days post op and decided to get out of the house and visit my family on the Island..we went to my favorite restaurant and it was so hard watching everyone eat calamari, shrimp, fish ect and I sat there eating ice chips My family felt bad but I was ok... I kept thinking that in a few months I too will be a able to eat seafood again

I was a BMI of 35 and I am 2 weeks post op... I've lost 16 pounds however I am more interested in losing all my medications I'm still wearing size 12 though.,, that hasnt changed ;(

I am just 4.5 weeks out. The idea of eating a hotdog again (season ticket holder for the Texas Rangers) makes me want to cry. Right now, as you guys know, there are no sandwhiches or hot dogs.
Glad to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel - or better yet, a hotdog with my name on it.
GO RANGERS!

My husband and I went to Memphis today to shop. We slways have eaten at Texas Roadhouse when we go. I thought Id order off the kids menu until I saw it. It was hamburgers and hotdogs for the same price as a regular plate so I opted for the appitizer and asked they bring it with everyones elses meal. Price was about the same as a meal but less food and no worrying about take home. Thoroughly enjoyed 4 pieces of lemon pepper shrimp.

I'm sooo glad I am not alone )) I want just a bite of a cupcake or ice cream or pizza... Just a bite that's it... U ARE ALL SOOO FUNNY I needed that laugh... I'm 1 week post op and going crazy!!

I got you beat....My daughter started Pastry school last January and she brings her work HOME...Dangit!! Truthfully most of the time it doesn't bother me (Thank God) but every once in a while I am so tempted to mug her at the friggin door! Oh crap lost my composure there for a sec, Sorry.. LOL
We are all in this together right MKbalimath! So we shall overcome! (I am so damn preachy) Ha-Ha!

chocolate, I have a couple of Hershey Kisses 3 or 4 x's a week. I had this surgery so I wouldn't have to give up on everything and compared on how I used to eat chocolate before surgery I'm doing GREAT! Isn't that why we all had this surgery so we still "on occasion" get to have a little of what we want? Except Brownies I can't touch them yet, I'm still too weak, Aww Man I want a Brownie, Damn I shouldn't have went there ...LOL

I too was sleeved on 6/27 and was sooo regretting it for a few days after... I am now doing better but would lovveeee to have something solid... I am willing to settle for ice cream!!! I can't wait

I was sleeved 6/29 and thought I was alone in my "almost regretting" stage LOL! I am ready for something to eat though. Not hungry but miss chewing my food....

It's been 5 days post op and I've lost 8 lbs but I was only 55 lbs over weight however had the surgery becuz I had 4 of the major comorbidities.

Love seafood and I have been eating it since 2 weeks out and haven't had any issues. Nothing fried but grilled and boiled. Protein is high so it's good for you.

Why is it that every commercial on TV is of food that looks sooo good? )) So cruel !!!
