  1. I am 3 weeks post op and since yesterday I started having a pain to the right of my belly button. It is only when I get off the couch or picking something up off the floor. Did anyone have this problem?
  2. It may just be that it is a different scale. That is why I didn't even buy a scale. Weigh the same day that you go back to the doctor to compare.
  3. Am wearing a size L shirt today! Two weeks ago I was wearing a 2XL!

    Week 3-No Desire to eat.

    I know how you feel. I am 2 weeks out and I just eat something because I know I need it. I only eat just enough to get me by. It is not that you don't want to eat, it is just that if you can't have something you want you would rather not eat anything!
  5. Was sleeved June 3rd and lost 20 pounds week one.
  6. I am 3 weeks post-op and can't tell when I am full. I eat very little at a time because I am worried that I will get sick and throw up or mess my sleeve up! What does it feel like?
  7. I do get discomfort in my chest and feels like I need to burp. I just got that yesterday for the first time. I was worried I had eat too much! Thanks for the reply

    3 wks post-op gaining!

    What have you been eating?
  9. Are you still losing? That is alot of food. I want to start other things because I too can't stand the protein shakes. I am just worried I will not lose the weight like I need to.
  10. Still lightheaded even after IV fluids

    Day 9 post-op

    I have been lightheaded since yesterday. Almost passed out one time yesterday! Being at home with three kids, that was scary. I checked my BP and it was 95/65, very low. So I called my doctor's office this morning because I am still lightheaded. They said it is because I am dehydrated! I believe it because I have been having a hard time getting the 40ozs. in, but have been very close everyday. So, now I have to try to drink as much as I can today and if it doesn't get better then I will hav to be admitted to the hospital to get fluids. I am doing nothing, but drinking all day. So far I feel the same.

    Dizziness

    I don't know about weeks after surgery. I am having the same problem, but I am only 9 days out. The doctor told me I am dehydrated and if it doesn't get better by tomorrow then I have to be admitted to get fluids.
  14. tons of pressure in my chest to add to my lightheadedness!

  15. when you start with thicker food, you will get the full feeling. The feeling may or may not be what you are used to. I had it one time so far and didn't realize it at first, but it was enough to make me quit eating what I was and I did get nauseous, but didn't vomit. Now I know what it feels like.
  16. I have the craving too. I think everyone does. I would LOVE a pulled pork sandwich right now! I am able to eat a whole fudgesicle and then I go right to drinking my tea. I eat/drink one thing at a time. Just take it easy and you will be ok.
  17. everyone is told so many different things. I was sleeved on the 3rd. I am allowed to eat: flavored water (less then 10 calories) Tea and can add sugar sub. SF Popsicles, fudgesicles ( I have been living off of fudgesicles (40 calories) SF jello broth crystal light I can have any of that till day 10
  18. very lightheaded today! Don't know what it could be, but hope it gets better.

  19. they are all gross! I am the same as you. It is actually the one like that almost made me not have surgery because I hate it that bad. I will see I think you would do so much better with the premixed ones. I have found one that I can drink alittle at a time. It is a premixed choc. and I put it in the freezer to get it very cold with ice sickles in it. I get a cup and pour alittle at a time so the rest can stay in the freezer and stay cold. The name is EAS myoplex original. I have the choc. and it is VERY creamy and choc taste. 17ozs and 42g protein. It is going to be hard since you don't have the money to get something else to try.
  20. Went to my one week appointment this morning and was shocked when it showed I weighed 216! One week ago I weighed 235! I am so happy. I was wondering though, what did others lose at their one week post-op?
  21. I did the same thing about wanting food around the day 6 mark. I am at day 7 and feeling much better. Just wait till you go to the doctor and weigh in on the scale and you will see why we are doing this and you will feel better. Just take your time. This is not just another surgery! This is the rest of your life! and it goes by fast enough, so don't rush! Sit back and enjoy your new healthy life and body!

    One week post-op appointment

    I am down to 216 from 235 in one week! 19 pounds gone! I have not weighed this in years. My husband has never seen me this small, I love it! The doctor said everything was good and then I had to talk to the nutritionist. she said to start taking some vitamins and start my protein shake.
  23. 19 pounds gone!

  24. First outing with the family since surgery went ok!

  25. feeling a bit depressed. I feel so good as if nothing has happened and keep thinking to myself: Oh, my hubby and I could go eat this or that and I have to remind myself that I can't!
