It did get better. I drank 2 16oz this morning and I'm on my 3rd. I hope it doesn't come back. I did go back to work yesterday for the first time maybe I didn't drink as much as I usually do. I don't have any pain at all. thanks for asking.

I went back to work yesterday and I was so worried about it. I only told my boss and my close co-worker. I work in an office with about 25 people. Everyone was so happy to see me and asked how I was feeling but not one person asked what I had done. I got off easy. They did notice the weight loss so maybe they figured it out. Either way I'm just saying I feel better and thanks for your concern and leave it at that. I did decide that if anyone asked what was wrong I will say because rumors start but I'll wait until they ask. Gives everyone something to talk about for a while.

It's the gas. Walk as much as you can..

Wow you are doing great.

I'm 6 weeks out tomorrow. I'm so hungry. I'm getting my protein and I managed to get between 600&700 cal a day but i feel like I could eat everything. I'm going back to work tomorrow and I'm Freaking out. I'm also in another stall.

I hope this round takes care if it for you. It would be a shame if they don't do it. Check around your area, if there is another program. I wish you the best.

I'm not sure but I tested positive then took.the antibiotics and tested positive again they just said it was not a problem. They made me take the antibiotics right up till the day of surgery and gave me more in my iv. I hope that killed it. I was nervous too but what's done is done. I hope I don't have problems in the future. I haven't been re- tested since surgery 9/5 so I guess they aren't concerned.

I was positive and they did the surgery anyway.

DOS 242 Sugery day 9/5 Just came back from my check up 215. I'll take that. Now I can eat food. Let's see what happens.

I'm not sure what's going on. I haven't had any gas or heart burn to speak of since surgery. I do take a prilosec every morning. The past 2 days I feel like my stomach is cramping I'm always Freaking out a bit, worried about leaks. I've been working in my yard and painting an extra apartment we have. I hope I didn't do to much. I've been on soft food. I have my 1 month check up tomorrow ill ask the Dr. I was just wondering if any felt this 4 weeks out and why? Also I wasn't able to take the gallbladder medication because I was allergic to it. What does gallbladder pain feel like? I'm.really stressing.

9/5 down 24 lb looks like I'm a slow looser.

Don't worry he will adjust. It's just shocking to the people around you. I bet new people don't think you look sick.

You look great. Your hair is so healthy.

So tight in the morning its hard to even eat the vitamins. By 3 I usually can eat.

Down 3lb this morning. 2 weeks at the same weight. Feels good.

I didn't use it for the surgery. My insurance paid. I do however use it for the protein and vitamins. I just had to to get a letter from my Dr. Explaining why I had to have the items. It's not a problem at all. The reimburse me all the time.

Wait. My Dr said to wait a least a year before plastics.

Great job. You look great.

Good luck you'll do fine.

Was it the mirena iud? I have that. It's my second one. My youngest is 13 and I'm 41. Do not want to get pregnant I'm done having children.

Well, I was sleeved 9/5 all in all its been fine physically. Mentally its been tough. I've been at the dreaded 3 week stall but last night I got out of the shower and was able to wrap the towel around myself and it closed. I also didn't have to use my clothes to cover my butt. The towel doubled over. Yippee for me. I did get on the scale and I'm still only down 22lbs but I know now about those inches. It's true pre sleevers the inches do come off without the lbs. I didn't believe it but I'm still the same weight as last week but the towel didn't fit then.

I have bcbs in Boston. I was approved 2 weeks after they submitted the paperwork.

I was in the same boat. No support from the family. Nobody could understand why I was being so selfish. I posted here and got a lot of support. We can be your support. I went to the hospital on my own and asked that no one come to see me. Well they did come after I was in my room and my husband actually came everyday to see me. My neighbor said he was almost in tears when she asked how I was doing. It might be that your husband is scared. Do it do it do it. We are here for you.

How many can we eat in a day? I'm 3 weeks out not eating hardly any but just wanted to make sure I don't go to high.

I'm 3 weeks out but I'm so down. I get my liquids. Protein is hard I'm averaging 50 on Proteins with usually no more than 550 calories. Can't seem to get the protein in with food. I have to end up drinking a Protein shake. I thought it was because I wasn't regular on my bm's. Ive fixed that and I still feel the same way. I just have no energy and I'm really depressed. Before sugery I never took a break and had so much energy. I keep reading how everyone has so much energy and I have to take a nap if I do to much in the day. The Dr cleared me to workout but I've only been on a couple of walks. Before I used to walk 5 miles a day in 34 minutes that was even the morning of surgery. Now nothing even close. I'm getting more and more down. What can I do? I've lost 20 lb since surgery but I feel like its all of my muscle that I worked hard to build up.
