    Hi from North MS ;)

    I like him too. He does seem to put a more personal touch on things than many doctors. He went out and talked to my husband too.
  2. I could hardly move 2 days ago. I called my husband at work and asked him to please try to come home as soon as possible to help take care of our 3 children. I had become pretty dehydrated. I used a spoon and ate a powerade slush slowly. I literally laid down all evening raising up to sip more. After the powerade I began to feel better. I have sipped Gatorade or powerade all weekend. It's finally much better. I will be very careful from now on! Terrible feeling. I hope you are better!!

    Sleeping

    My surgery was on the 23rd and I can just now lay on my side comfortable. I found putting a pillow under my side helps.

    No Energy, zip/zero

    Thanks for all the replies! It helps so much to hear other a experiences! I will try to focus more on my fluids and protein shakes. I am not getting enough. Plus taking my vitamins is a real chore. Maybe that will help. As described in a reply, I too have to just stop and sit or lie down after housework or doing for my children. I teach school and go back to work next week. Thanks again for the encouragement. Just knowing its pretty normal for many of us to feel like this helps me relax more about it!! Best wishes to all of you!

  10. Is this normal??? My surgery was July 23rd. It is hard to put one foot in front of the other at times. Other than that, I feel fine. Please share your experiences!
  11. I has surgery in July 23rd. I had 60 pounds to lose and have lost 7 as of today. But some people say they lost 15/20 the first week and I wonder to myself, am I the one person who won't lose much after all of this?? Thanks for this thread.

    Weird Pain!?

    Hi, I have been sitting here trying to figure the site out enough to reach out when I saw your message. I had surgery on Monday, July 22. I have had extreme pain below my left breast bone with any deep breath. I don't feel a lump. But can touch the exact place that hurts and pressure is unbearable. Tonight I am so fatigued I am struggling. I feel a strain in my left chest area with deep breaths tonight in addition. I think our issue sounds similar with the location of the pain and all. I am interested to see what others say and I hope you get answers tomorrow and feel better!
