That happened to me in my arm after my gallbladder surgery and it went away. After getting sleeved, my IV spot was sore for 2 weeks. The vein it was inserted in is now hard. I never paid much attention to it before surgery. I was pissed they put it in my hand! LoL! Hope the lump goes away soon! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Yes, gallbladder surgery is worse than the sleeve surgery. Take it easy afterwards! Gallstones suck! Wishing you well!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thanks! I was TOTALLY shocked when I stepped on the scale! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I used the can crab. At this point I was on mushy food, so the canned crab worked out perfect because it was "shredded" so thin. I got Wal-Mart's brand (Great Value). If you can have full crab where you are now, then I don't see why you couldn't use it! Sent from my iPhone using VST

There is a thread titled before and after pics. That will DEFINITELY give you motivation!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

That ruins the applesauce! LoL!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

You're welcome!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I made it and it was DELICIOUS!!! I didn't know canned crab was so small, so you really don't even know it is in there as far as having to "chew." Sent from my iPhone using VST

SOOOO sorry it took so long! Here is the pic of the cream of wheat. Looks like Uncle Ben in the circle, but it doesn't have a "brand" name. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I will take a pic of the box when I get home and post it here. Today was my first day back at work! I have survived so far! LoL!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I have 4 times since surgery and am almost a month out, but had no issues. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Okay, so I hate oatmeal as well, but decided to give it another try. Yeah, didn't happen. Was still as nasty as I remember it! LoL! I was completely BLOWN AWAY at how much cream of wheat tastes like grits!!! Now that I can have cheese, I add that to cream of wheat so it is kinda like cheese grits! I say go cream of wheat and screw the oatmeal. LoL! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I was able to have natural apple sauce, cream of wheat, and sugar free pudding, banana, cream of wheat, and oatmeal. Sent from my iPhone using VST

I made this same mistake the first time I went out after my surgery. Gotta take it slower and make sure you always have your Water or SF beverage with you to sip while walking around. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Yeaj, I would have been like, "I'll be back tomorrow hydrated so you can try this again!" LoL! Hope your neck gets to feeling better! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Have to agree. Pre-op I had lost 45 lbs and even then "my guy" mentioned the fact of me becoming more flexible. I will be 4 weeks post-op on Monday and am still enjoying and can't wait until I am completely skinny to have even more fun! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Could also be gallbladder...hopefully not, but pains are similar. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Shrimp, crawfish, gumbo, and there are tons of different bisques out there as well. Go the oysters if you can stomach them...yuck! LoL! Have a great time! Sent from my iPhone using VST
