Hi! I'm a teacher in Texas. My job is very interesting!! Previously I taught 3rd grade math and science but now at a new school district. So, I teach 6-8 students social studies. All of these students have failed a grade in the past. I also teach a high school online program. This program is for students who are behind on credits and need to graduate. Then, I have DAEP!! This is your behavioral program for those who have been through other programs and this is their last resort for discipline within the district. Needless to say, everyday I see something new! It keeps me on my toes for sure!!!

I'm 5'1 and 4 weeks post op. Down from 203 to 168 so, 35lbs. 15 pre-op.

I'm confused! Did Dr. Nick not prescribe you a daily medication for ulcers that you take twice a day? Those are capsules. I desperately want to take some Tylenol.

My fat to healthy glasses I made today. Every marble counts as a pound. It's motivating!

These are my fat to healthy glasses I made today! Every marble represents a pound. It gives me something to look forward to.

Awesome! My dad is now going to do it. He's worried about his age 56. Dr. Nick was great.

Also!!! I took my 4 yr old to see Turbo today (cute) and I didn't want to drink water. I ordered an unsweet tea. Took 6 small sips and within a hour I had major cramps and had to hit the bathroom! I think it was the caffeine. I'm not supposed to have it. Won't do that again.

Yes!! I'm 4 weeks out and have the new pain. It's like it's a pulling feeling.

You'll be ok. You have to stay on them and tell them you need more. I had to. With my c-section I begged them to take the pump off because I wanted to stay awake and with this I wanted to be put to sleep. Lol

I had a drip of something and it didn't touch the pain so I asked for liquid codeine. That did the job!! I couldn't stay awake long enough to remember to push the button every 10 minutes so when I woke up I would be in pain.

Yummy!!! Mix strawberry nectar protein with one frozen banana in the Yonanas!! Amazing!!! Chocolate is great too!!

3 leaks total. I can't remember how many total sleeves he has done. Did someone ask?

Me too. I'm 4 weeks today. It's a new thing that started this week. It comes and goes and hurts bad when I breathe deap.

I'm so glad you posted this! I am at week 4 today. I have the exact same pain on my left side above my incision (like 4 inches above) and I have a knot. Please let me know what they tell you. It only bothers me when I bend, put in clothes and lift my leg to high etc

Wow! MoM worked for me today within an hour!!

Did you ever contact your doctor? I'm 4 weeks out tomorrow and in the last couple of days I have had this weird feeling in my left arm. It feels numb but alive. Lol if that makes sense. It's mostly annoying at night when I'm trying to go to bed. It tingles in my hand a little. It's a weird feeling. Not quit the same as something falling asleep, like a foot etc.

I'm still having some pain. It's not horrible, getting better. I think it may be constipation.

I am in the same boat!!! I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding set for November 23. I was sleeved June 19th. I'm down 31 lbs. and dress sizes from a 20 to a 16 now. I have to order 12 weeks in advance. I have no clue what to order!!! I am thinking a 12 to be safe. That's 4 months. Maybe a 14. I going to go try on dresses July 27 and find a size that's tight and order the next size down. So stressful! I don't want to mess up her wedding or stress her out. My moms a seamstress so that helps!!
