Thanks I appreciate that!!! Well fortunately for me I just have a very high tolerance for pain and I usually bounce back from injuries our surgery pretty fast. I don't like being held back even when I'm sick I'm up moving around getting stuff done because that's just me. But after the surgery the only real pain I was in was the gas coming out of my body. My boss had this done a year ago and he gave me the best advise. WALK, WALK, WALK WHEN YOUR TIRED WALK, WHEN YOU'RE IN PAIN WALK so as soon as the nurse came in my room the next morning I asked if I could go for a walk she was very surprised but said ok. After the hospital well like 5 days after surgery I started going to the gym. I did mainly cardio for the first 6 weeks. Two times a day. Every day I feel sluggish but I have found that when I work out I am so energized. On those days I'm to tired to get out of bed I so regret it because I'm so tired all day. Also Vitamins really help make sure your takingthem every day. I do everything possible to get in some sort of exercise in. When I'm sitting at my desk I do leg lifts, if I'm laying down watching TV I'll do leg raises. There are so many ways to get in exercise but mostly you have to make a habit of it. I'm so used to getting up at 330am that it's normal for me. I'm normally in bed by now but sometimes that isn't possible. Just stick with it push your self I know how you feel I really do I wad even sick from the dehydration but I hydrated myself and pushed forward. Once I'm on the treed mill and after the first 3 minutes I slowly increase the speed by 13 minutes I'm on about 1.5 miles. Sick with it I promise it gets easier

I was sleeved on April 8 I just weighed myself and I'm down 97.5 pounds!!!!!!!! I've worked my but off literally to get where I am. 4am work outs full time job followed by a 7pm work out. But I feel so great never in a million years did I think I would every take a picture of myself and think I look pretty. It's crazy yes I know but it's true. I am slowly learning to stop beating myself up and learning how to say thank you when someone gives me a complement. I'm so close to hitting 100lbs down I can't wait. Well that's all thanks for listening good night!!!!!!

Gum? Bummer! Move along folks, there's nothing to see here lol. Seriously, since you didn't have bypass (stoma) I wouldn't worry about it too much. It'll all come out in the end(pun intended).

Dang! And I thought we were getting dirty in here!

I thought we were not allowed gum? I thought after surgery there was no gum because it lets you suck in more air Same is not using a straw or is that maybe only. While you're recovering ?

Here's my latest picture. Still having trouble with my mind catching up to my body image.. But I hear that's normal. Love love love my sleeve! Picture on the left is last April ('12) at my heaviest... Right is tonight

My dietitian said to be careful if u chew gun cuz swallowing it can cause a blocked stoma --? Not quite sure what that I think it's an opening- your newly out I'm sure ill be ok
But
I'd call your surgeons office now and talk to them- maybe they need to do an X-ray to bake sure it's ok just to be safe

Is it grosser that I read the headline and thought - oh she is getting Protein

As I told my 6 year old granddaughter, you have to be very careful swallowing gum because if you fart you will blow a gum bubble and your arse cheeks will stick together.

I was gonna say maybe your sleeve isn't working if you swallowed him because your supposed to take small bites! Lol thanks for the laugh!

You're not the only one! Haha! Anyways, I think you should be fine with the gum. You're stomach is still good at digesting, only thing you've limited was the "fitting" aspect of it, so if it were a problem you would have had it come out one way or another by now. Just try be careful lol. (I've done it before though haha....no avoiding it. That stuff is slippery!)

What a trooper! Oh...gum.

This is tooooo funny!!!!! Glad that you are ok!! Still laughing =)

Well this made my day.

I guess it was better to mistype and have it come out "piece of him", rather than spell "gum" with a "c".
