Defriend the shirt if u get a friend request from it! Great job !

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!

I am 3 wks out and the gas just went away yesterday. I almost had a party just for that! As for sleeping I can now sleep on my side but my belly button hurts still from the surgery! I use a pillow to on my side. I have read about people already sleeping on their stomach and boy I can't wait. I keep reading about people drinking their there shakes like nothing and getting in liquids but its not like that for me. I want to drink but its not happening. I called my NUT and she said she doesn't care if I eat but MUST STAY HYDRATED so I am doing my best so every night I send her a e mail about how much I am drinking. As for food my relationship with that is over. I just can't even think of eating anymore. I push myself to eat at least 2 spoons every other day. The hardest thing part for me is to drink or remind myself to drink. Remember people will post how they are doing but you have to get to know your body again just like its getting to know you now. It's a new relationship for you and your stomach so don't worry about or compare yourself to anybody. I hope all goes well for you!

I can say this.... YOU WILL BE EMOTIONAL! I am not sure if its the pain killers or hormones but it happens for a couple of days maybe about a week but then it calms down. Was hard for me to do a lot of what I was told to do as far as eating and drinking. I didn't and still don't like to eat! I feel better when I don't eat mind you I only eat about a half of a spoon! I can drink about 5 oz now! I was sleeved on may 21. Do it together. Have a weigh date where you both see the progress together. Shop together. You pick and let him pick an outfit when you go shopping when the time is right! Just include him cause its not easy for anyone. I hope I helped.

I was sleeved on may 21 and it is hard for me to still drink and 8 oz of anything! And if I eat a spoon of something I feel like I just came from a thanksgiving feast! I eat something every two or three days! It's crazy but I feel a lot lighter and less sluggish on an empty day!

I am 9 days out and can really drink now! I wasn't hungry or thirsty but the more I read the more I saw it was normal. I had to ask if I could keep my I.V a little longer. It's not easy but I hear and see it will get better. I can't even eat yet. I just dip my pinky into something just so my stomach doesn't forget how to work. The pain I feel is like when I was in labor having contractions. But it gets better....RIGHT?
