Mine looks great. I'm also feeling soreness around it as it heals. I was told not to worry if it doesn't look infected red or hot or with puss.

I know it is kind of weird I'm on liquids for two weeks (which I'm still on) but could have yogurt and sf pudding. Every doctor and nut are different.

Sigh this is my favorite plate from gringos the Veracruz. I used to go very other Friday. I'm a week out so I'm no where near to eat this. Eventually I know I will taste it again =)

I'm a week post op can I still have gas pain? All of sudden maybe 6 times a day mostly when I'm in bed laying down I get a pain (it's not too bad) from my rib cage to almost half of my stomach. It's like a tight pain then it just goes away I would constantly get that at the hospital so I assumed it was gas. I'm not sure if it is though, if I could still have gas. Sorry that was the best way to describe gas, if it is. I'm just scared it's a leak or something. Oh and I also had a hernia repair.

Will do!! Thank you.

Yes when I walk it goes away it feels way better. That's why I'm assuming it's not a leak because I don't think that comes and goes. I hope it's just gas, I'm scared only because I'm not sure if those are gas symptoms.

LUCKY YOU!!!!

My mother did not agree with me she just did not understand why could " not" do it on my own and she was afraid for me. On my first visit I took her with me she along asked questions with me. She was surprised and proud that I "survived" the two weeks of liquids only ob pre op. She was there with me the day of surgery and once I came out of the OR she told my doctor she did not agree with my decision still to get sleeved and told him the reason why he just looked at her and told her he understood and that she made sense I was surprised he didn't defend the procedure. Even though she does not agree she doesn't tell me anything negative and has been extremely helpful she was there with me at the hospital and here at home helps me and has been trying to make me comfortable she bought me soups mad me done broths and looks forward to my success because she knows I wanted this even though she doesn't agree she isn't going to leave me alone plus I live with her =). My best suggestion is talk to her more become very knowledgable of the procedure as I did and just talk to her about it take her to a doctor here just so she could know what will happened and how it's going to help you. I understand the main thing is for her to support you.

Lol love it!!

This might sound silly but I'm paranoid that I'm going to bust a staple and cause a leak. I'm scared to sit on chairs w/o a pillow for support on my back. When I go to bed I'm kind of sitting (my butt was kind of numb this morning I know tmi) because I'm scared to lay flat and bust something inside, when I cough or move or when it starts to make grumbling noises I hold my stomach like if I could shield it from internal damage haha. Now that I've wrote this things and see what I've been doing it sound silly but I've just read so manny horror stories from leaks and I'm a little nervous/scared about that. Sorry just had to vent. 5 days post op!!!

I just had premier protein chocolate I agree with you. Up into now it's the only thing I "enjoy" I couldn't stomach anything.

Never tried chobani but I did see it at my super market. Definitely getting it next time and adding some sf pudding. Sounds yummy!! I love mouse. Thank you.

I have some Greek yogurt and was saving it for stage 3 but thanks for the blending idea and thinning it out with skim milk I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Thank you =)

Thank you soooo much I'm going online in a few minutes and search that website!!!

Once I get the ok from my doctor I'm definitely going to start working out. I just turned 30 but I've always been a big girl not as big as this year but yes I'm at 263 right now. Well I hope I'm as lucky as you and don't have much lose skin.

My doctor told me two weeks but I've red on here some people have got leaks later on. So I don't know =\

You look awesome!!! You should've so bought the shorts!!! Question how did you do it to minimize excess skin? You look great.

That's awesome!!!! Congrats!!!

Woohoo you go girl!!! =)

Wow amazing congrats!!!

Beautiful!! I'm 6 days post op and your pic is so Inspirational!!! Congrats.

I'm 5 days post and I can't stomach a protein shake today I refuse to sip and start gagging. I will have some yogurt and go to the store and buy sf syrup hope that helps with my protein. Today everything is closed due to Christmas so I'll just focus on my liquid intake. I hope I'm not causing harm.

Ok good I feel better, thank you. Merry Christmas!

So I know I ended getting a call to start my pre op diet ASAP my surgery date was on Saturday Dec 21st I came home on Monday the 23rd just in time to be with my family on Christmas. Thank you all =)
