I am 3 wks post op and until this week I have had no pain. No incision pain or any pain related to surgery. But now I have a muscle like pain in my abdomen right above my belly button. It feels like a pulled muscle. Am I maybe doing too much? Has anyone else experienced this?? I have a 2 yr old that I have to take care of and pick up sometimes. Maybe I've irritated something?? I just want to make sure this is not out of the ordinary for a pain to just pop up. It's not unbearable, but more like annoying.

I hope u dont find this question too personal but do u have any problems with skin??? I'm 3 wks post and really worried about this.

I am 3 wks out and on mushies. Sushi has went down better than ANYTHING!! And was DELICIOUS!! Just wanted to say!

How long did u guys wait to have alcohol? I really want a glass of wine.

I confess that this new attention I'm receiving from Men is making me question my marriage....

I really hope so! I was doing so good ad then I started my soft foods and now it's like I'm stuck.

K so I am 2 wks post op and weighed in at 271 yesterday and 274 today!!!! Wats going on??

I am having the same problem and was sleeved the same day!! Are you on soft foods? What kinda of things have you been eating at dinner? Maybe we aren't eating the right things? I don't know.

Started at 326 was 295 the day of surgery and am 270 this am

I have a 21 mo old and an 8 mo old. The first week was a little hard but I've made it!

Congrats!! And WELCOME!! I am 15 days post op and feeling great!! Welcome to the world of VST! And congrats on deciding to take charge of your life and becoming the best you can be!!

Did you feel anything?? It use to take like 11 7 and 7s for me to feel even a buzz!

My surgery was almost post poned for 3 mos and I was devestated. Then my surgeon called me that night and was like let's do it in two days!! I was so excited. You WILL have the surgery. Let the drs figure out what's going on. And get ready cuz it's one hell of a ride!! Stay in good spirits

Have any of you post ops been intoxicated?? Not that I plan to do that or anything but I'm only 23 and enjoy being a little buzzed every now and then. Of course not until I get the okay from the dr for some wine. What's it like??? Do you get sick easier from alcohol?? Drunk faster?? Just curious.

I miss my miller lite

I am 2 wks out and my worst days were 3 and 4. It gets better I promise! I wondered if I had made the right decision. And yes we did!! Try to keep your head up. This is an emotional and physical battle and we just have to keep going.

I can only eat 2 oz of dense protein within an hour. Granted I am only 2 weeks out and am on soft foods. But is this ok? Lol it's like I get a couple bites to enjoy then I'm done

I'm back!! - I confess that I really miss ice cold coca cola - I confess that I love the way I feel now - I confess that I am afraid of vomitting therefore I am afraid of trying new foods.... - I confess that I crave salt and vinegar chips - I confess that I would REALLY love a glass of wine -I confess that I feel skinnier than I am right now - I confess that I often wonder if I'll ever be able to eat certain foods ever again.... Like cheese enchiladas - I confess that I am not perfect, but I am doing my best.

1. I confess that I think about food way more than I should. 2. I confess that I drink caffeinated coffee on occasion 3. I confess that I have sucked on a tiny peice of chocolate and let it melt in my mouth because I'm on soft foods 4. I confes that I have cried until I can't cry anymore about how much I miss my old eating habits 5. I confess that I secretly am angry when my husband eats a big plate of carbs and fat....

How do we know what symptoms to look for if a leak happens??

Lol yea she likes to do everything mama does
