Deez, I am so happy to hear you are improving. You are in my prayers.

Hello my family:). Just wanted to update: I'm still n hospital, I feel rather well but these esophageal spasms are still givin me issues. As I said the second swallow test was.basically inconclusive but the surgeon said it looked good enuff for him, however; until I'm 24 hrs spasm free, he still won't let me eat or drink:( so today is day 4, npo. Then he said, we just have to b patient bc it will improve, so I have to stay here until Monday mornin:( my 9 yr old is alredy upset when she has to lv me nd she doesn't evn know about Monday yet. Catheter n heart monitor removed so that's good. I thank God that I'm not evn hungry or head hungry, I'm just rdy to get up n moving forward in a positive way. I've been reading about how u all are and praying every night for yall. Take care and hopefully I'll have bttr news for yall. XOXO my friends keep up the awesomeness of ur journeys, I'm proud of you all!!!!

Deez, my prayers continue to go out to you for a quick recovery.

Good everyone. Well my stay in the hospital has been extended till Friday at the least because my swallow test was inconclusive because I'm so very tight right now. Third day of not eating or drinking anything just have to swab my mouth and spit it out. Kind of scary and yeah makes me wonder why I did it. if I were not having spasms in my chest and heart I could come home tomorrow so please continue lifting me up in prayer, its greatly appreciate. Gn all.

Sandisleeve are you going back to hot yoga? I have been hesitant because I sweat so much and I am concerned about dehydration.

Mnwin, I am down 19 lbs. Not sure if I posted previously.

Deez, continued prayers your way.

Hello my fellow sleevers and Ty for such a warm bench, thoughts and prayers xoxoxo!! Yesterday was a really bad day n horrible night. I had a hernia repaired as well, so now I'm havn what they call esophageal spasms, they gave me evry med under the sun...they gave me the scop patch for nausea bc the meds had my eyes bouncing everywhere and I'm bad about motion sickness. I do however, have a lot of chest pains that move to my heart, they did so many test to rule out heart attack, all is well w my heart, Praise God! Today I was given an nsaid, which yall know is contraindicated for us sleevers but it made all my suffering from pain go completely away.. they double check w the physician but bc I'd been given so much meds which I was allergic too, Not sure which, so I was then given benedryl a lot. This morning was taken for leak test but the contrast only a little traveled through so they cancelled it for tomorrow, doc said I was too swollen inside. So another day wo drinking. Just swabs to wet my whistle. I dont think I have gas pains but either way, this pain n my chest and heart is killing me. My families here and taking care of me, Yippie . My throat is fine, wudn even know I had a tube in it. Still have catheter, leg hoses and pain pump. Other than these spasms, which feels like a knife cutting me inside and hiccup spasms, I feel pretty good. Thank you my friends and prayer warriors! I appreciate u gr8ly:). To all of todays sleevers I pray ur all recovering well, I'm so proud of our Dec group, we have made it. In advance, HAPPY NEW YR, can't wait for us all to start posting b4 and after pics! Gonna b fun:) XOXO ))) take care

Deez Godspeed

Just because I can't contain the excitement from the Pounds lost thread (and I wanted to make sure if anyone is participating that might not be subscribed to that thread that they get to see the numbers):
Out of 77 people who gave me their goals, I have heard from 47 of them = 61%
We currently have a grand total of pounds lost recorded at 9401 pounds
From the 47 people who have reported their weight loss, we are currently at 1492.1 pounds lost
That is 16% towards our goal!

Spinning is great and I miss it so much, can't wait to get my energy levels back up for it
Same surg date as you, 12.12
I've tried hot yoga in the past and boy is that a challenge but so refreshing

I'm saying GN to all. I am the first case, b there at 5:15am, so off to bed for me!! God bless you my friends, Ik I've been blessed to know you:)

Remember, small steps. It is all a process...I had pureed foods yesterday and it was great. I can eat 1/3 cup at a meal. It gets better.

I'm questioning what have I done to myself...I can barely handle this pain on my chest whenever I drink water.. went to walgreens and bought some zentac...to see if it helps. I also noticed I was not mentally ready for this surgery (sleeved Dec 18th 2013) I want to eat.. and have tasted sweet potato, mash potatoes. ..but I feel terrible. I don't want any more Protein Shakes or broth. I don't know what to do. All I can do is pray...There is no turning back I know..I just want to feel better and eat what I want without pain..sorry don't mean discourage anyone I just don't know what else to do

I have been taking the flinstone chewables complete. Anyone else?

Princesstami: I was sleeved 12/11 and it feels like I am a bit slow in the weight loss process. I weighed this morning and I was 245. I accept any loss as a success. I can sit back and see what I would be eating right now if it were not for the sleeve. I do think I am becomimg sort micro manager of what people eat. I have to stop that or I will alienate my friends and family....
