Do you ever set small goals for yourself or is it best to just kinda go with how your body is doing on its own? I was sleeved June 25 and haveost 26 lbs. My husband and I are taking a vacation in a month and I would love to be down another 20-25 lbs. I know that's not a totally unattainable goal, but I'm wondering if its recommended to or not to set goals like that.

Ct showed nothing. Drs best guess is the tight stitch they put in the largest incision where the stomach is pulled out of pulling on something.

I too drive the day after I came home.

I have that! I have no idea why or what causes it, but it sucks!

I actually had my gallbladder removed when I had the sleeve done.

Has anyone here suffered an incisional hernia post surgery? Apparently they can occur after surgery where the lining is already compromised. I have been having severe pain in my left side and this is the only thing I can come up with. My surgeon, based on info via phone call, said he has no idea what it could be. I am having a ct tomorrow morning. Just wanted to see if anyone here had experience with this.

From reading (and trying not to self diagnose myself with some sort of rare fatal disease as always happens) I think I have an incisional hernia. Cause from surgery weakening the abdominal lining. I'll hopefully know more after my ct on Monday...

I was sleeved on the 25 of June and had my drain out last Monday. Since then I've had this terrible pain in my left side above my hip bone but it feels like deep inside. My surgeon said he has no idea what it could be and is sending me for a ct on Monday. It hurts more when I cough or laugh or bend more on that side. Anyone had something like this?

I was the same as KittyfromBC. The only reason I didn't go back on July 2 was because I got my drain out that day and didn't want to go to work with that in. My boss (who was sleeved in April) said if I needed to work half days that first week I came back we could work that out because he had to due to being so tired in the afternoons. I didn't have any problems with that though.

If you're working out that much, and losing inches you could likely be gaining muscle.

Freeze a banana and then puree it. Tastes a lot like ice cream.

I'm having the same pain and I'm 13 days out. I had my gallbladder removed though so I know its not related. I also cannot eat anything. It just hurts even drinking water. I think I will call my surgeon tomorrow.

I cracked the 240 mark. 13 days post op and I'm down 20 whole pounds! I've NEVER lost 20 lbs before!!

I now haven't eaten in over 2 days and nothing so far this morning either. Even drinking water is slightly painful. I also have this horrid pain in my left side. It almost feels like a side stitch but won't go away and is getting slightly worse daily. It sucks because I felt like I was doing so well before...

I'm only 11 days post op and have been on purees for 6 days. However, today I literally couldn't make myself eat. Food just isn't tasting good anymore. Other than a glass of milk, its been only clear liquids...
