Sooo laughing at Peek !!!!!!!!!! .. hospital ::: laughing:::
It's not bruising, mine is a rash. An allergic reaction to the glue. I searched the boards and about every couple of months someone has an allergic reaction this this. Scary huh !!!
One more pic ... Now y'all know me well enough.. so this should't surprise you. But I wore my bikini at my highest weight ever 300. I believe we are all beautiful people, and if others can't see it, well.. that is their problem. This was taken at my house, but I wore this bikini on Vacation in Biloxi .. and you know what... no one said a damn thing ! I felt great !!!

Congratulations !!!!

Another thought... I have been having left side pain. So I told my husband I should finally get the pain script of Tylenol 3s filled. I said "I'll take Cooper (my dog) and walk to walgreens tomorrow to fill it" .... it's about a 2 1/2 mile walk (round trip). I like I have that mind set !!!
And TONIGHT ! Ooh Tonight ! I'm meeting up with some of my girlfriends I haven't seen in awhile. We are meeting at a bar and grill. And guess what.. I've looked at the Soups and I think I'll have a cup of the broth from the gumbo and drink some Water. I can enjoy an evening with the girls and make good choices. And yeah, I'm not going to lie, I really want the fish and chips.. but that day will come too

Chellede, more pics please :-)

Hey guys, I was sleeved on the 20th. Been checking the site but haven't been posting much.
Drum roll. . . I am in Onederland! I actually hit 199.1 this morning. I haven't seen that number in a really long time. Today is also the day the poop returned, yeah me.
I am still having itching around my glue sites but they all look good. Still have various bruises and ouch is from needle sticks.
I am still taking my dilaudid and liquid Tylenol for pain and well controlled.
Still on full liquids and seem to tolerate premier Protein best. I tried making some of my previous Protein concoctions but they seemed very frothy and gave me more gas. I go back to see the Nut on 11/4 for diet advancement.
Hope all my fellow BariPals are doing ok, and with that, I think I am all caught up now.
Kya

@@chellede Ok I guess that's better..... sort of And good on ya for feeling beautiful in your own skin!

Chellede
OMG, I would make them admit me to the hospital for that. Please feel better soon.

@@chellede HOLY CRAP!!! I can't believe how bruised up you are! Are the rest of you guys like this too? I feel so bad! I have had none of that on my tummy, just where the nurses drew my blood and ouchy those are painful looking!

@@Peekboo I"m so jealous ! I want fish sooooooooo bad. I see my Dr monday and I'm going to beg him to let me eat some fish !

I also read on a lot of the boards that most of the time the pain goes away at 2 months. So don't worry,
it will heal

Chell, sounds like fun meeting with friends. I wonder if they will see a difference in you. Im craving fish from bone fish grill. I may have some tonight.

Every one seems to be doing good and adjusting well. Now that I am having cream Soups I so bad want to crush up crackers and sprinkle in the Soup... I have also had a craving for She-Crab Soup .. I can't have it yet...
Everyone is saying they have left side pain. I am having right side pain where the Dr said the pulled the stomach out.

@@chellede

Yup, I'm a daily weigher myself and I think I always will be. No matter how hard I try. I like knowing. I dropped 11 lbs in 5 days, then it slowly dropped, then went up 2 lbs and after no loss for two days, I'm back to losing a pound. But look at the average. I'm 10 days out and down 12lbs ... uhm.. yeah.. I like those results. It averages out nicely !!! So yeah, I was worried about the gain, but it could have been anything.
I've been reading a lot of boards. Even the veterans boards. We don't have to do anything but eat our portions and what our doctor tells us and the weight will come off on its own time. Our bodies will understand what we want it to do. We will ALL stall, we will all fluctuate... but look how many people on these boards lose their weight. We got this !!!
side note... I was a huge coffee drinker before ... I'm talking 3 to 4 24oz cups of coffee a day. I find it very comical that I don't want coffee anymore and that I don't like it as much as I used now. My go to thing in the morning is hot cocoa. Which my little cup of cocoa has 60 grams of Protein in it (Double milk and a packet of Protein powder).
I hope everyone has a great day and we just need to follow some rules till regular foods, then it's using our pouch to tell us not to over eat.. which is why we had this surgery.
