Gah so frustrating Sleeved 4/6/17 HW: 350 SW: 324 CW: 206 GW: 165

I will have to bring it up to a doctor. They did an ultrasound in December and didn't find anything so I'm wondering if my bladder has simply fallen and needs to be repaired Sleeved 4/6/17 HW: 350 SW: 324 CW: 206 GW: 165

Anyone else experience this Sleeved 4/6/17 HW: 350 SW: 324 CW: 206 GW: 165

This might be TMI but since surgery every time I am intimate I get so much pain and urgency to pee it isn't ever a bladder infection. It's driving me to the point of tears because I want to be intimate with my partner but it hurts so much after. The doctors don't seem to care and I'm losing my mind....

Yea my hair dresser has had amazing results with it. I have taken photos as I too have fine hair (Which is falling out in huge clumps) hopefully between the biotin and stuff I can make it work Sleeved 4/6/17 HW: 350 SW: 324 CW: 248 GW: 165

Hey all I just bought some Monat for hair loss. I also have been taking biotin every day. Has anyone else noticed any difference with their hair with Monat? Please let me know Thanks! Sleeved 4/6/17 HW: 350 SW: 324 CW: 248 GW: 165

I was sleeved April 6/17 and would love friends!! I am from BC Canada and have Instagram Emileana... I post about all sorts of stuff in my life not just surgery stuff though so don't mind my cat or my son lol Sent from my SM-G930W8 using BariatricPal mobile app

No the pain passes but then I have another sip and it's uneasy again. It's not constant pain. I see my surgeon next week and will for sure bring that up with him. I am eating about 750 to 800 calories on good days. Some days a bit less but I try to get at least 750 in. I'm trying to figure out if it's normal to have your stomach be uppity randomly one day here and there then go back to 'normal' Sent from my SM-G930W8 using BariatricPal mobile app

This is exactly what I am experiencing at this moment in time. I can't stand some of the people I thought I could never live without. I have ended the one relationship that was the most toxic for me and after the first day I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. And i feel happy now that he is gone. This is a great thing I think. I'm standing up for myself and what I need for the first time in forever. The other thing I wish I knew was the body image things and how quickly they would present! I am having a great time seeing the weightloss but the excess skin is hard already and I am only 16 weeks out (63 lbs down since surgery and 90 lbs if you include the presurgery loss) I am looking into counsellors now because I am struggling Sent from my SM-G930W8 using BariatricPal mobile app

Okay so I am 16 weeks Post Op and feel like I eat nothing. Everything sits funny except for cheese and shredded chicken. But every 2 weeks or so I go through a few days where anything and everything hurts. Drinking water (flavored because plain water hurts) even feels like I have swallowed something wrong. It lasts about a day and a half then goes away. Kinda feels like morning sickness in a sense (Not pregnant I have done tests) I can't drink protein drinks. I know I am not getting enough protein... can anyone offer any advise as to what I can do? Or if this uppity tummy is normal and will pass?

Hi sorry if this is tmi but this is my second period since I got sleeved and I am feeling super nauseous. I even threw up yesterday. Is this normal? Called my doctor and waiting to hear back. I do know my period is super heavy this time as well. Anyone else experience this?

I have been reading about these WLS meet ups for a while. Just wondering if there was a list for them and if there were any in Seattle or even Vancouver Canada that are happening. Would love to meet others who have gone through this journey!

I weighed myself today and for the first time in over 10 years I am under 300 lbs! 25 pounds down since surgery 3 weeks ago!!!

I had the sleeve as well.

My surgeon cleared me for swimming yesterday but going to wait a bit more before I do to be on the safe side. Though he says my scars are healing really fast and beautifully

Yes that's the plan I am just curious what most people's experiences were so I might have a time frame. I see my surgeon Thursday for my follow up.

Does anyone know when we can go swimming? I love to be in the water and am missing it pretty bad. Just about 3 weeks since surgery.

Everything is doing much better now!

OK I will call him now.

So I had surgery 10 days ago and have been doing pretty good but I forgot to take my antacid prescription for 2 days... I am in a lot of pain now. I also have made a few big gulps of water by accident when I wasn't thinking.... could I have made a leak happen? I am worried!!!

Yes I think it was gas. I passed an amazing amount last night and feel much better today

I am 6 days post op. I am trying to eat my liquid diet but have been having some pain right below my breasts today. Worried something might be wrong. Or could this still be gas. I am sipping tiny amounts so I don't think I am taking in too much

I am beginning to feel hungry at night as well too... I am only 6 days post op. I find I sip more water at night because of it. I think once I switch to purees and soft solids this will pass
