Try Palmers Firming Butter. It really works. The moisture seems to stay longer.

Five days post-op. Never really had pain. Do get uncomfortable though. Started getting all my Protein in the day after I came home from the hospital. Still struggling to get all my Water in. All in all I'm not doing bad for a 68 year old broad!

I'm 67. See my surgeon June 12. Hope to get a July date. My paperwork was submitted to insurance last week. At first I thought I was too old to even think about doing this. After asking questions at my bariatric center, they assured me they have done several people in their 70's.
and Gmanbat, I thought you were 39. LOL

They can tell if you have a hernia or anything else that needs to be repaired while they're in there. It's pretty routine so don't worry.

COOL! I find Morgellons disease fascinating.
I wonder if there is a strange connection there??
Oh, and I never ate those crappy McDonald nuggets so I'm good
And I've never seen any strange hair like fibers In the milky white of my beloved Oreos

I was cold today. Second day home. Got all my Protein in and now I'm warm. Does Protein make you warm?

Sleeved on July 22. Came home on Wednesday. Really no pain. Some occasional gas discomfort but nothing bad. I was getting all my Protein in yesterday. Still trying to get all my liquid in though. Working on it every minute. A little emotional today. All of a sudden weeping over I don't know what. Not much of a crier, so not liking this at all. My poor hubby keeps asking what he can do. Does the emotional stuff go away soon?

Actually, I've found the same thing. Went to GNC right before surgery with questions, got no real answers except WLS people buy this. Didn't buy that day. Couple days later went to Vitamin Shoppe with my husband. The young man listened to what I needed and made educated suggestions. He spent time with us explaining things and didn't rush us. Needless to say, Vitamin Shoppe is my preference now!

My first NSV!!!
My hubby and I are on date night and we are in the theatre waiting on the movie to start... I just looked down and MY LEGS ARE CROSSED AND MY PANTS ARE BAGGY!!! Hallelujah!!!!!
I'm 27 days out and down 24 lbs! I measured today and have lost 29 INCHES!!!!! I have been in a two-week stall, but this new discovery has given me what I needed to push through the stall!!! Can't wait for the rest of y'all to get to this point!!!

I had mine done july 12 and so far I lost 30 lbs.. I am on my first day for soft foods.. So far so good.. Going back to work Monday!!:-)

Sleeved today!!!

Sorry you can't sleep. I have never been a good sleeper. I usually work nights so my schedule stays messed up. Since the surgery (7/22) I don't think I've slept more than 3 hours at a time. Like you, no real pain or gas, just wake up:) Right now I have the FBI files on TV and I'm playing on the computer. And of course...sipping water! lol

I just came home yesterday. Not nearly as bad as expected. Maybe I'm just lucky. No real pain, just a little uncomfortable. I took two ten minute walks outside today! The sipping is just constant. If you're not sleeping, you must be sipping. LOL. Good luck tomorrow. Update us so we know how you are doing.

It's great to be home. I've taken my first shower starting sipping my Water. I got my two tums down this morning waiting until 9 for the Multivitamin. Not to be gross I've even passed gas I'm so happy. I can feel it making its way down in my system but its such a relief as it passes, it takes so much pressure off my stomach.
Home care nurse is due at 10 so I'm up and about getting some walking in.
Have a great day sleeves!

Im due for the 25th, im nervous but ready.

Sleeved yesterday!!! Doing pretty well today. Just had my leak test and all is well. Can't believe how much that wore me out!

I am a BMI of 40. On my chart it says morbidly obese. I have about 90 lbs. to lose. I did lose 37 lbs. on my six month supervised for insurance. That leaves me with the 90. As I was going through the various tests, they kept saying I was small. If you are listed as morbidly obese, you are definitely NOT small. I am 5'2" and weigh 220. Surgery is Monday, July 22. I can't wait!
