Just Keep Swimming

Any newbees having what feels like hungar pains? I swear I am. K Linam

That made me chuckle - being a week old newbee, it hurt but it was a good hurt!! Thank you!!! K Linam

I was nervous and contemplated not doing the surgery. I had lost almost 60 lbs before the surgery. Was told only 30 lbs was necessary...I really got into the lifestyle changes. Anyway, I am finding my biggest hurdle is I am Thirsty!!! All I want is my ice water. I would give anything for one big swallow of ice cold water. Seems silly but it's true! Don't want food just my water...I am not a sipper and it hurts! I was never a big sweet eater, but am munching on the sugar free popsicles (barf) to stay hydrated. I am also experiencing burning sensations around the laproscopic sights. I am numb and as the sensors wake up I go through burning to sore to whatever - ir's all good. I get to start pureed foods next week...funny...U miss my healrhsmart oatmeal w/ flax and crushed almonds for breakfast...kept me going for hours. I feel hungry all the time now. Weird/new sensations! So glad I happened upon this sight this morning!

I was sleeved on June 29th - weEk ago today. No pain now, just numbness around the laproscopy sights. I would give anything for a glass of water!! LOL Get sugar free popsicles...they will save you! I swear! Good luck. Now to figure out how to post my own stuff. HA
