I use and love my dehydrator! Its really old but still works. I have done strawberries, banana, pineapples, apples, mangos, baby peppers and marinated mushrooms..... and that was just this week. They are great to throw into my snack bag for work.

So glad I am not the only one that thinks this way! I am down 30 my first month and feel like there is no difference. People say they can tell but when I look in the mirror I see no change. My husband said the other day " you look a lot smaller". I took a "biggest looser" picture the day of surgery and compare weekly photos. Pretty much the only way to convince myself I am loosing

Sleeved on 2/21 Weighed in at dr's office today and total weight loss is 30lbs. 17 of that is pre surgery diet

Omg!!! The woman in the middle did leave at 5! Were u at Puget sound surgical center? If so, I hope you are feeling better. You seemed to be in so much pain all night. How is everything going for you now at 2 weeks out?

I am 3 weeks out tomorrow and I have only lost 5 lbs! My clothes are looser so it must be inches???? I really hope we are still loosing the fluids given to us and that we are not " slow losers". Very frustrating!!

I am 2 wesks out and just started experiencing the same thing. I have my husband " burp me" too. Did u find out why this occurs?

I used gas x and a heating pad. Worked like a champ for me though it sounds like yours is way more painful than what I experienced. Good luck to ya

ME TOO!!! I actually get worried cuz I can't even tell I had surgery. Once or twice I had a weird pain but that's it. I feel bad saying it cuz the people next to me at the surgery center cried out all night. I have not gone off my scheduled diet but I don't feel hungry and I don't feel full, it's just so new! I feel so lucky that I haven't had pain or complications as of yet. Hope it continue this way!

I also have the grumbling stomach. It makes noise even though there is no hunger. It happens mostly after drinking. A friend is 9 months out and says it still happens. I guess they call it grouch pouch!!!

Hahahha.... i get this too! My stomach is grumbling almost everytime I drink. I was sleeved 2/21. A friend is 9 months our and still happens to her. They call it grouch pouch. How are you doing pain and hunger wise? I haven't been hungry yet and pain was pretty minimal so far. I did go out to the store today and that was enough for me

So glad you are both doing well. I am day 5 post op and feel good still. Make sure to keep up on your liquids!!! So glad for you guys

I have this also. feels mostly muscular, possible like a cramp. If i take a deep breath and stretch a little it seems to go away

Can anyone explain how on day 4 I gained 4lbs? I am getting all my liquids in and only drinking sugar free drinks. I will say I started my period on day 2 and just yesterday got the OK to take all my meds, one of which is hydyoclorosine (sp?). I have done everything by the book so to gain weight about makes me want to cry. I originally told myself I wouldn't check my weight till my one week check up......wish I listened to myself

Jennaleigh- I am 4 days post surgery. I had all the same feelings/ fears. Up until the night before all I could think about was just surgery surgery surgery!! Then i realized I thought long and hard about having this surgery and even though I there are risks, I would get through it regardless of any complications. I have always been a believer in positive thinking. So for the rest of the night pump yourself up with positive statements and keep telling yourself how much you deserve this. Everything will turn out great and you have a lot of friends in all different stages that are here for you. Good luck tomorrow & check in with us!!!

I was sleeved on 2/21, I have very minimal pain even to stop my pain killer. TODAY I STARTED MY PERIOD!!! I have very painful periods. At first i thought something was wrong with stomach and started to panic. Then i went to the bathroom and realized what was happening. Must be karma, who can have 80% of their stomach removed and not have pain??? Damn mother nature!!!!grrrr

My surgeon came recommended and he is wonderful! His MA Jillian is great, Barb the on site nutritionist is a wealth of knowledge. The 2 surgical nurses were fantastic and not one time did I feel uncomfortable or judged. Those 2 women made my overnight stay NOT scary. The name of the clinic is Puget Sound surgical Center.

That is so wonderful!!! Doing a fun run is on the top of my to do list and work my way into larger runs. I am only 3 days post surgery so I have a while still. For now I can cheer on everyone else!!! Congratulations

Doing pretty good. Only pain now is right after i drink. Feels like a sharp pain but is gone as quick as it came on. Stomach feels tight but loosens up when i walk around

I asked before i was discharged and she said it probably everything waking up or me drinking to fast. I will call tomorrow if its still happening.

Is the sharp pain normal? Its right in between my breasts. Could the gas have moved from left breast to middle of chest? It happens a few times an hour and only last a second or two. Any one else know about or experienced this

Day 2 and I am home....no more gas pain in breast and shoulder but a few times an hour I get a sharp pain that only last a few seconds. Happens mostly when i drink, not used to little sips yet! My stomach feels "tight" but I am so happy about no other pain. Puget sound surgery is fantastic! Everyone is really nice. Dr Landerholm is great. The easy part is over....ready to start my new life
