3 years ago I bought some lingerie from Fedricks of Hollywood size XL and i wasn't able to fit into them. Well not only does it fit but it was BIG on me!

Thanks, I really love my surgeon and her whole staff here so I'm very sad that I'm leaving but I'm hopeful that I will find someone just as good!

Hello, I was sleeved on 4/20/15. I am currently in the process of moving a little south of Toledo and looking for a good surgeon to do my follow ups with. Preferably a woman!

I poured my son son ginger ale and he had set my cup near mine and I mistook his cup for my crystal light flavored water. I took a sip and it killed me ALL night. I will not be having any carbonated drink again. I had horrible pains in my stomach.

I have had 2 emergency C sections. The first being put totally asleep. I was worried how the sleeve would compare. When I woke up I wasn't in pain but I was uncomfortable. I pushed the button for the pain medicine 3/4 times that day and during that night. I also was up 2 hours after my surgery walking around the unit. The next morning I didn't have pain but I was super sore. The soreness lasted for about 3.5 weeks for me. Tomorrow will mark 6 weeks for me and I am pretty much back to normal, I just can't sleep on my left side.

My first weight goal is to be in "onederland" I have 28 more pounds to go! I have always rewarded myself with food (going to certain restaurants or getting my fav dessert from a local bakery) now I can't do that so I am think of new rewards. Just wanted to hear from my Sleeve Family on what they have gotten/done as a reward for meeting goals!

I have had itching also. I am lathering myself in lotion hoping that will help but it hasn't. It's not all day and in certain areas only.

It takes me about an hour to drink 8oz of water. I sip sip wait sip sip wait. It's gotten better before I was barely getting 20 oz in a day.

I also stalled from week 3 to 4. And I had a er visit where they pumped me full of IV and I gained 4lbs overnight. My doctor told me don't worry about it to just focus on getting enough liquid and it will pass!

I'm eating baked or grilled chicken, eggs, yogurt, cheese stick, oatmeal, I tried cooked broccoli and green beans and both were ok. I'm just really nervous to try more/different things. I had horrible horrible heartburn and my sleeve was just so grumpy and I had 1 salt less cracker and omg that was a mistake. I just feel like when I see/hear others they are just eating much more. I also can only take about 2-3 baby spoon bites and have to wait a good 20 mins to eat more. My mother made me a grilled chicken cutlet and I was determined to eat the whole thing even if it took me all day and it really did. I haven't been meeting my protein or liquid goals and I had to stop with the protein shakes bc they bothered my kidneys and I ended up in the er in horrible pain. So now I'm just really looking for ideas of foods I can make and will sit well. This weekend I am going to start weekly preps so hoping that helps.

Today marks 1 month post op for me and I'm wondering What are/were you eating at 1 month post op?
