Update. Im 5.5 months post op and got new labs this week.... my insulin level are down to normal, my testosterone levels are down to normal and I am ovulating on my town. Although we have to wait a few more months to try, my endocrinologist feels that we have a pretty good chance.of being successful. I'll be 46 years young and thanks tto the sleeve, a lot more healthy. Ive lost 82# from my heaviest weight and 70#since surgery. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Its tough, but you can do it. You made it this far.

They did blood work on me 2 of the 3 days I was in the hospital.

That is hard. I was fortunate that my mother in lae lives with me and does most of the cooking. I stayed out of the kitchen as much as possible, but my husband eat junk food in front of me all the time. Thats a steuggle, but the fear of dumping keeps me on track.

Im off metformin as well and doing great without it. I struggled on the liquid diet. I had to drink 5 shakes a day, but some days i still felt hungry. I did cheat a couple times and ate a slice of cheese and a piece of grilled chicked once. I told my surgeon about it before surgery and ge said I was still ok for surgery. I guess I had some good cheats :-)

Ive also lost another 14 lbs in the last 2 weeks. I think if we follow the plan, our weight-loss will be equal to the norm

I am 13 days post op and I am already noticing a decrease in my huritism. My skins is clearer. I believe my insulin resistance is under control.

I tried the pillow like Sam827 memtioned. It worked greatly. Im able to move aroind and do things now.

Im looking forward to my symptoms disappearing especially the huritism

I believe it is. Ok. I was beginning to worry a little. I keep reading about people doing normal things in the first week. :-)

I've been having a similar experience ony left side. It hurts when I move. Im 6 days post op and still have to take pain meds. ;-(

Im 6 days post op and still have a lot of pain on the left side. I hurt when I stand, when I sit, turn or move in a number of ways. Ive been trying to decrease the use of the pain meds but Ive only been able to go 7-8 hours between doses. Is that normal?

Are tou taking vitamins? I had that issue a few years ago. I cut it short, took vitamins and statyednusing natiral and home made products on my hair.. such as conditioner made.from cocunut oil and avocado

No hair koss so far

Im only 5 days post op, but i lost 18 pounds the 2 weeks before the surgery. I haven't weighed myself since the surgery.
