I am not sure why it happens. Seems it would be lower down. Just resting or walking relieves it. I feel it in the middle of my chest, even 4 years post sleeve.

thanks so much for replying. i was thinking that maybe something was wrong. i kinda didn't understand why i would have chest pain instead of stomach pain. weird.

Yep... lots of surprise babies. My surgeon recommends switching to a barrier method like IUD until your weight is stable.
I have an IUD but I'm so anxious about getting pregnant I'm trying to convince my husband to get a vasectomy lol. (Not planning to have kids.) So far he's a no go. Hopefully the IUD does the job!

Hey, fellow June sleepers! I'm Shari, and I'm a middle school English teacher. I'm 32 years old and 5'8" tall. I began my journey on August 12, 2016.

At my heaviest, which was 9 years ago, I was at 287. When I began my pre-op diet on May 18, 2017, I was 277 pounds. My surgery was at 7:00 am on June 1, 2017, at which point I weighed 264 pounds. As of today, I'm down 44 pounds.

HW - 287; SW - 277; CW - 234; GW - 150s

I eat an occasional Protein Bar and have no issues getting them down. I am 4 months out and have been having them for about 2 months

I also have over 200 pounds to lose. Are you confident you will do that with the sleeve. My surgeon says I can do it. I am just scared i guess.

It's cool and I'm sorry it's the idiots with there medical opinions that are laughable and I only do my weight up dates on my doctor's visits... I don't even check my own weight so my next appointment is in October at 6 month post-op

I was saying "no way" as in "I'm amazed". I didn't mean it literally as in "there's no way that can happen" LoL!
I've lost 20 pounds in less than 2 wks. So, it's definitely conceivable someone could lose 80+ in three months.

I take my journey seriously... I was in the Navy so I know about physical training and I took everything I know with eating things I enjoy....so I don't have to lie for likes.... I'm good regardless

I suspect you know the answer to this and know what you are supposed to be doing. Are you getting enough Water? If you are following the "rules" about not drinking for half an hour just before and after eating, and not drinking while eating, you can't both graze and drink enough water, can you? It's hard to break old habits, but if not now, when?

You might want wait to share that info until you know someone better. Have a single friend who is dating and she explains away her "small appetite" with " I just ate", or "not that hungry, let's just get appetizers". Not everyone needs to know your medical history right off the bat.

That was no loss. You just scared a shallow immature little boy away. There are better men out there.

This is amazing. So happy for you!

Sleeved 6/28 hey!!!
