Right on thanks. I just want to see the scale move a bit more. I am excited though, to get going. My oldest goes back to school tomorrow so I'll try heading out to the gym. thanks for your advice.

i bought Recipes for Weight Loss Surgery Success. There are tons of shakes and smoothies, smooth foods and soft food ideas. You can really puree everything.

Ever since my surgery and my husband deploying I have not wanted to do anything. I just want to sleep all day. I don't even want to talk to my husband, I am so annoyed and angry that I feel like he left me at such a critical point in my life. I currently take Zoloft and feel that it is not doing anything for me. I don't even feel like showering, eating nothing. I take care of my kids and once they go to bed I am off to bed too. I've never in my life felt so horrible I feel that I am just ready to explode any minute and start crying. Even though my husband is deployed I am very angry at the point that we are always arguing and that he's always working. I am sorry this is such a angry post I just need some advice. Have any of you all felt this before?

Thanks y'all I was sleeved 17th of Dec. My husband left the 21st, I've been on Zoloft and it worked up until my surgery. I am with you on feeling angry. That's how I feel. I will contact my psych Monday.

I was just sitting on the couch and I got up and reached for my glass of water and OMG... I just felt a sharp pain that went all the way to my back. It hurt so bad that I even started crying and lasted for about two minutes. Right now I still have a sharp pain in my belly. Thoughts??? I am so scared that I did something to my sleeve. Am I just panicing for nothing??? Help please.

Went to ER when I couldn't even hold the baby. I tore a muscle in the incision site. Got more pain meds and they said two to six weeks of recovery. :-(

I have a 4 yr old, 17 month old and 7 month old my husband left 4 days after my surgery and I was the one taking care of them.

Highest Weight: 275lbs Day of Surgery: 246 lbs Week two: 229lbs Sleeved : 12/17

Was anyone disappointed in the amount of weight they lost in two weeks? I am at the ER and just saw I have only lost 17 lbs .

Thank you Cheri!!! Your message made me feel better thank you.

I called this morning right when it happen and they said not to worry. Hours later here I am that I can hardly walk, I called back they said to drink meds and if I want to go in tomorrow. I feel like the pain is about 6inches in length and it radiates to my back.

I am 3 weeks post op. :o/ Okay ill try calling them.

My family does live near by but they are not really able to help much. So far I have been okay. Any tips from y'all on how to make sure you get liquids? I am struggling and already have symptoms of dehydration... Any tips would b much appreciated .

Well my kids are 4yrs, 17months, and 7months so the whole not lifting can't happen with us. I have to do what I have to do. ;0)

Yeah he'll be gone for nine months that gives it a bit of excitement knowing I might look completely different. :0)

I haven't even weighed myself. I don't want to until my doctors appointment. Thank you all for your kind words. This gives me more of a reassurance that I've done something wonderful for my health.

Thank you. I really didn't take any offense from it. I have been working with my therapist. Before surgery I was never like that. I guess since I've had the surgery I feel that people will look at me differently. I just can't wait to start working out.
