It will past. I stalled about a week and half ago. lost 3lbs...gained 2, huh?!? I need to start losing....NOW! c'mon now. We can do it...we'll do it together.

I agree with NDN_RN, GO TO YOUR DOCTOR, Please. I had the same thing happen to me just days after surgery. When I went to my dr's and test were run I was admitted for 3 days. My doc took no chances. And I was given nausea medication while in the hospital. Go see what your doctor says.

I found a liquid calcium....I'm Happy Now!!!!

In addition to Craiglist, you could also try Ebay or Amazon. But I vote for the organization that helps women dress for interviews for employment and yes you write it off on your taxes.

I guess I'm kinda lucky, I do not drink crystal light. I found that sugar-free generic brands are just as tasty if not better tasting. Here lately I hav been making unsweetened iced-t and putting in a packet (or 2) of splenda as I drink it. It taste good, decaf, and it last...I make it by the gallon. I have had sugar-free drinks such as fruit punch, grape, peach iced-t and they all taste great - I don't miss crystal light at all.

Has anyone had trouble swallowing those giagantic calcium pills we have to take 2-3 times a day? They have got to be the biggest pills on the market. . And if the calcium has all that the dr's want us to have, do we need to still take and extra dose? Like the B12 - if that's in calcium do you still need the pill? I HATE TAKING PILLS :ph34r: . If I drink 3 glasses of milk a day will I be getting the right amount of calcium without taking the pills? Thanks for your responses.

My doc cleared me for exercise but because I am still having back troubles, he said start slow and work your way up. I am getting a resistance band (it worked for me in the past) and will start with that for now. I don't have a gym membership at the moment but maybe later on down the line. I do walk, about 30 - 40 min each day (part of it is my job) and that helps. Since the weather is so darn hot in DC I've taken to walking in the building where I work. Not only does my backgive me fits but my knees as well - arthuritis does not care who it hits or hurts - but I will push on.

That's great . So what did your workout consist of, if I may ask?

I was wondering if there are any June sleevers in the Washington DC area that might be interested in forming a walking group? I like walking but just do not feel comfortable walking alone. My dr has cleared me to exercise but stll taking it gradually. Thanks

I got some bruising but mine too were due to the blood thinner shots they gave me afterwards. Those shots hurt everytime they gave it to me. I hated it.

Thanks dorrie. And congrats to you as well Are you able to eat bread? It was said you should not.....from now on

Sorry to hear about your mom, I lost my mother May '06 and I am still missing her so much especially now. I am glad you made it home safely and the plane wasn't turned around which I agree would not have made much since. I still have to catch myself when it comes to drinking water/tea and such. I can down a 16oz bottle in a heart beat...and I'm pretty sure that would hurt my heart now, but every once in awhile I take more than sip but stop before swallow too fast. Boy do I miss my Pepsi...lol

June Sleeve Gurl here. Its been 3 weeks since my sleeve surgery and things were a bit rocky in the beginning. I went back for my 2 week after surgery appt. I could not hold down any liquids. Mind you, this was the FIRST week home from surgery. When I went to see my doctor he had me go down to x-ray and I had to take this AWFUL tasting liquid and thats when it happened, when we were finished, I tried to turn over to get off the table and I let it all out...what ever it was came up and out. I spent 3 more days in the hospital with my doctor trying to figure out what happened. Things are looking up, I'm holding food (protein & vitamins) down now. The good news is the x-rays showed no damage to the sleeve. My doctor has moved me into stage 2. Has anyone else had a setback similar? I was scared out of my mind! How are the June sleevers doing so far?
