    I love this thread and posted to it a long time ago, but have some recent confessions! 1) I love shopping for clothes. 2) I'm shocked at the sizes I can wear 3) I'm shocked at how fast my clothes become too big 4) I'm still pissed that my weight loss has slowed down because as much as I enjoy shopping and getting new clothes because what I have is too big, I do want to get to goal so I can be a stable weight. I always feel like I have nothing to wear because I constantly need to replace things. 5) I lost at least a shoe size, so I have to replace all of them, too. Of course, I always need a new purse to go with everything else! 6) I promise, I do think about things other than shopping.

    That's the foamies aka the slimies . . . most people get it after eating too fast or eating too much. So really, really cut back on the amount you eat in one sitting and on how fast you eat and see if that helps. They can also be caused by a food or supplement that disagrees with you. I got the slimies after taking a mineral supplement that my body apparently did not want.
    Relief from slimies is usually either walking or lying down on your back and resting, depending on which makes you feel better. My surgeon's office says do NOT, under any circumstances, make yourself throw up. That can be very dangerous for sleeve patients. You just have to wait it out, then try to figure out what caused it so you can avoid doing it again. If it keeps happening, definitely get in touch with your surgeon's office for help figuring it out. Good luck to you!

    "You just have to wait it out, then try to figure out what caused it so you can avoid doing it again."
    Is good advice. It's the slimies. Along with overeating, sometimes a food will do this. SO try new foods one at a time, and if you have a problem, cut it out for a month or two. This WILL get better, but the slimies ain't no fun!

    I don't think my incisions ever bothered me. Quite honestly I didn't feel much pain throughout the entire process. (Shots and the IV was more painful than anything else) and I never touched the pain killer button they hooked me up to while in the hospital and never took any of the pain meds that were prescribed once I got home.
    What I did feel was more of an overall soreness. My stomach felt sore, like as if I had just done 4million sit ups or crunches....I think I felt sore like that for about a week and a half post op.

    Numbers on the scale mean nothing. Maybe take your measurements instead. You look great, and you can totally see a difference. Good job!
