  1. What the HELL makes you think I am not taking this seriously???? A few days struggle?
  2. It's hard to convey tone in a typed message so know the tone isn't hateful or with any malice.. If push away from the table worked for me as advice I'd never had to have this surgery... I guess I was looking for others who struggled with wanting to eat all day after feeling deprived for weeks and will that subside? Are teenage emotions normal? Tearing up at silly commercials, etc...
  3. If it's bright red it's not a worry. Be sure and take a stool softener or something. That's hard on you to get constipated enough to bleed. You may have some intense itching in the next day or two while the hemmroid or tear heals... Witch hazel helps a lot.
  4. My surgeon says drinking after or with meals washes the food out of the sleeve and makes one hungrier or hungry again
  5. I am 2 weeks out today. I started soft food on Friday. I am sick in the head. I am obsessed with eating! It's like the second my sleeve isnt stuffed I am eating something! I've not lost a pound! I lost 12 the first 8 days and nothing the last 6! My daughter left a frozen Dp in the freezer and I even drank/ate that! Other than that I am eating well, just too much! I eat and feel unsatisfied. ...I cant eat more, drink anything, eat something sweet OR smoke! I feel antsy! Gawd, I may need a shrink to shrink! And...where do the tears come from? Not over eating. ...just feel like a teen with whacky hormones/emotions! I am overwhelmed!
  6. I was advanced to side food on day 10. I will be two weeks out tomorrow and am eating all soft food
  7. Can't even tell I surgery other than u can't eat much! Can drink all I want and haven't had pain since day two or three!
  8. Grandbaby here this weekend. I've sort of hurt my incisions lugging her around. Can it damage anything? Two week out on Monday....she's about 23lbs. [ATTACH]10006[/ATTACH]
  9. I have glue and I am day 12 and its just now starting to peel off. I've only been a little sore for about 2 days then no discomfort at all. This is by far the eaisest surgery ever
  10. You need to call and make sure all is well...any fever?
  11. Ditto! Just was sleeved a few days ago in Arkansas! Woo Pig Souie!
  12. I agree, but I am less than 2 weeks out and have been super cold !!! I am the one who hasn't been cold since 1985! We've had a cold February with wind chills in the teens, but dang! Burr
  13. I'd been lost without my nectar fuzzy naval! Its made with Water its like tang and with milk its like a dreamcicle! TANG? does that date me? I am ordering the roadside lemonade tonight
  14. I made my own broth with a whole chicken, carrots, onion and celery. Once it was done I pureed sine carrot, celery and a tiny bit if thigh meat added it back to the broth. That was delish and still very liquid!
  15. I was terrified to be off mobic for so long...haven't missed it since surgery!
