Thank u!

Blonde hair is before surgery black is 5 wks post. I can't really tell a difference in my face but others say they can.

I still have my gall bladder. That's why I'm a little worried. Could I be having gall bladder problems now??? It's not normal watery stools. It's the oil in the water that's concerning me.

So.... I am 4 wks out now and today I had a new and not so pleasant experience. I had very bad diarrhea and it was oil like. There was oil floating in the water around it.... Should I be concerned?? Really sorry if TMI.

I'm 3 wks post op and still smoking 10 cigs a day.... I have tried so hard to quit but when I do all I want to do is graze eat. So for now I'll smoke and as soon as I can get this eating and working out thing AND my emotional struggles with this surgery under control I will try to quit again. I can only handle one thing at a time. I am only human. But I am glad to hear that I shouldn't fall over dead from smoking post op. As much as I am afraid to die, you can see that I am also terribly addicted to smoking. I acknowledge this and I know that is the first step to stopping. I am also tired of seeing people bash others for something they are struggling with. We are all different people with different emotional and physical battles.

I've had back pain since surgery also. Have u had this?

No problems at all digesting the wrapper. I also had a harder time cutting it. And honestly I knocked off a lot of the so I wouldn't have so many carbs. Kept a tiny bit on and it went down great.

What is flexall and where can I get it? I was so worried that I messed up my sleeve somehow. So glad to know this is common.

I could only get down 2 pieces of a California roll but it sure was good.

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 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??
