SHE'S TOO SATISFIED!! LOL, WE NEED TO TALK HAHAHA, THIS TOPIC TURNED OUT TO BE FUN AND INFORMATIVE, LOL. NICE BREAK AWAY FROM CALORIES, WEIGHT, FOOD ETC.

I DONT THINK IT'S THE NEW NORM, I THINK IT'S THE HORMONES, TRAUMA TO THE BODY, STRESS ETC. I'VE NOTICED I BEEN DRY (( ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY, I KEEP THINKING THIS CANT BE HOW IM GOING TI BE, DR SAID ITS MY HORMONES......AND UNTIL MY RIGHT SIDE HEALS COMPLETELY, THERE WON'T BE MUCH GOING ON...IT'S TOO MUCH!

HAHAHAHA....GIRL I HEAR YOU!!!!!

Did they explain why?? Pregnancy? Inside sutures? Im confused??'

My husbsnd is going cookoo over this stuff, but.I.want.to wait for.a safe time.period. Any suggestions....

Same here!! MY MOUTH WAS WATERING, 2nd bite, I FELT LIKE I.WANTED TO BURP BUT IT WSS STUCK....YES HONEY YOUR Full lol. IT GETS A LITTLE BETTER I HEAR, GOOD LUCK.

HI, I WAS SLEEVED ON.APRIL.9th and I SWEAR I THOUGHT I HAD THE WRONG SJRGERY FROM ALL THE PATIENT REVIEWS...LOL. FOR EXAMPLE: "I WAS SLEEVED A WEEK AGO, NO.PAIN! WALKED IN THE HOSPITAL SO.MUCH NOBODY COULD BELIEVE I HAD SURGERY, CAME HOME, WASHED 4 LOADS OF CLOTHES, MADE DINNER, NOW HUBBY AND I ARE GOING TO A CARNIVAL WITH THE KIDS...I FEEL.GREAT!!!" LMBOOOOOO, NOW IM NOT MAKING FUN OF ANYONE WHO DID WELL, AND I.FULLY UNDERSTAND EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT, BUT IM LIKE YOU GUYS!! I STILL HOLD MY RIGHT SIDE GETTING IN THE BED. THE PAIN AND BLOATING SEEMED TO LAST FOREVER, I WALKED BENT OVER UNABLE TO.WALK.UPRIGHT DUE To PAIN. TRUST ME, THE WAY YOUR FEELING IS NORMAL!! I TRY PROTEIN SHAKES, BUT I ONLY GET 2 SIPS IN. I WILL SAY THIS, WHEN YOU HEAR IT WILL.GET BETTER, IT REALLY DOES!!!! I WOKE UP ONE DAY AND I FELT SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER. PRAYING FOR YOU, HANG IN THERE!!

I UNDERSTAND THAT COMPLETELY, I HAVE A 21 YEAR OLD AND A 2 YEAR OLD...IT'S NOT A TYPO..LOL, A 2 YEAR OLD. I ADOPTED HIM.AT 3 DAYS OLD, AND COULDNT.IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT HIM. WHEN I.DECIDED TO DO THIS, I THOUGHT OF HOW HE WOULD BE AFFECTED IF ANYTHING WENT WRONG MORE THAN AANYTHING ELSE. THERE SO VULNERABLE, AND.WERE THERE WORLD, BUT NO MATTET THE SITUATION...ELECTIVE SURGERY, GOING TO CATCH THE BUS AND GETTING HIT, OR STAGE 4 CANCER, WE ARE NOT IN.CONTROL! GOD IS AND WILL BE GOD,!!.WE HAVE TO PRAY WITH FAITH, THINK.WITH FAITH, AND JUST UNDERSTAND THAT HE DIDNT BRING US DOWN THIS.PATH.FOR.NOTHING....WERE TRYING TO LIVE, AND HE'S SHOWING US THE WAY. OF COURSR WITH SURGERY THERE'S THAT "PERCENTAGE" THAT WE'VE ALL INCLUDED OUTSELVES IN BY NOW, BUT WITHOUT THE SURGERY THERES A "GUARANTEE" THAT WE'VE ALL.BEEN PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH. IM 1 WEEK POST OP TODAY, AND IM NOT THE TYPE THAT HAS TO BE THE BEST, SO I KEEP IT REAL. I WOKE UP IN PAIN...NOT SCREAING AND CRYING.PAIN, BUT I FELT IT.IM EXTREMELY TIRED AND I WALK.VERY SLOW BECAUSE IM SWOLLEN. IIT'S HARD TO GET THE FLUIDS IN AND I FIND MYSELF WANTING TO.EAT THE SKIN OFF OF.PEOPLES CHICKEN(LOL) AND IM NOT EVEN HUNGRY....BUT WHEN I STARTED I WAS 302....IM 287 Today. I didn't follow the post up until the LAST OF CLEAR LIQUIDS....I.DID THE SHAKES OCCASIONALLY, BUT I WAS SO.NERVOUS MY APPETITE WENT OUT THE WINDOW. IT WAS NERVE WRECKING, TIME CONSUMING,AND I FEEL LIKE I.BEEN HIT BY A TRUCK.....BUT I.WOULD DO.EVERY BIT OF IT OVER IT AGAIN!!! I PROMISE YOU, SO KEEP THE FAITH AND PLEASE UTILIZE THIS BOARD!!!! IT WORKS AND IT'S THERE 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK! GOOD LUCK, YOUR IN MY PRAYERS...YOU WILL DO GREAT, AND REMEMBER THIS CONVO WHEN YOUR AT YOUR GRANDSONS HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION!!!!!

I DID GREAT EVERYONE!!!!!!! IM VERY SORE, WAS VERY NERVOUS, EVEN WHEN I GOT ON THE TABLE, BUT IT WAS OVER BEFORE I KNEW IT!! I DONT FEEL HUNGRY....AT ALL! Gas pains were bad, but I was up walking 2 HOURS AFTER. NOW DONT GET ME WRONG, IM VERY SORE AT THE AREA MY STOMACH WAS REMOVED FROM, I JUST PROTECT IT WITH PILLOWS OR MY HAND WHEN IM WALKING!!!! I DIDN'T VOMIT, A LITTLE NAUSEA, BUT THATS ALL!! SO HAPPY THAT PART IS OVER....NOW IT'S POST OP TIME!!! :-)

WOW...HONEY YOU NEED TO READ SOME OF MY POST....I WAS "PTSD"'A PRIOR TO SURGERY DISASTER! LOL, I.COULDN'T SLEEP, I CRIED ABOUT EVERYTHINGGGGGGG!!! I WAS A REAL MESS....I.MEAN A MESS!! I RESEARCHED EVERYTHING HORRIBLE, NOBODY COULD TELL ME ANYTHING DIFFERENT. I WAS GIVEN TWO SHOTS FOR MY NERVES, AND ANOTHER 1 ONCE I WAS IN THE OR! IM 4 DAYS POST OP, AND I FEEL.PRETTY GOOD. IM SORE, OF COURSE, BUT NOTHING UNBEARABLE. IT'S TO BE NERVOUS, YOU NEED TO TALK, SAY IT, AND VENT. YOUR GOING TO DO WELL!! CALL ME ANYTIME 6103501272!!!

THANK YOU ALL!!!
