Fit Bit anyone???
@Ylime I love that it is a full smart watch (I upgraded from Alta HR), I can read text/IM/email and even send quick replies from the watch, I L O V E that it is water resistant and I don't have to remove it to shower/swim anymore. I get meeting reminders and can see who is calling me plus I can use it to pay for things in some places. That's on top of all the standard fitbit activity/steps/stairs/sleep tracking! Oh and they just added monthly cycle tracking too

Ooops, grainy mustard?
So I am 3 weeks post sleeve yesterday and today for lunch I brought some roast beef to roll up with mustard. Without thinking, I used my usual grainy/seedy dijon mustard, you know the kind that is basically ALL seeds? I ate about 1/2 a tsp before I remembered I wasn't supposed to be eating seeds! What are the chances this will get stuck/cause a problem?

Regret it
I am so confused, have you had the surgery or not yet? Is your story somewhere I can read?

This is not a great idea when someone is already suffering from hives.

If you’re starting to feel queasy that is when you should take the zofran. You risk serious dehydration otherwise.

What stitch is that? I don't have any that are particularly painful

June Sleevers Lets Get Excited!!!
I only get it when taking my evening meds on an empty stomach. Ask your doc for some Zofran, dissolves on the tongue and works in just a few minutes. Also - Lexapro withdrawal can be VERY dangerous, are you off of it cold turkey or did you taper down properly? I ended up in the ER years ago when a bad doc had me stop cold turkey.

Time off
My surgery was on a monday, I was back at work the next Monday and was totally fine.

Pain and More Pain
I definitely didn't have pain like yours, but I found ice packs across my incisions and abdomen to help A LOT in the first week

Which Food Tracker App/Log Are You Using?
Me too, have been using Baritastic because it has good graphs but it's food logging leaves a lot to be desired

Any June 2018 Sleevers in Here?!
June 18th for me! My recovery has been very easy so far, my surgeon installed 2 On-Q pain pumps that were just removed today. I am STRUGGLING with getting my fluids and protein in, hoping it gets easier as the swelling goes down. I do have some abdominal distension still from the gas used in the surgery, but nothing terribly severe.

Did anyone get surgery / look into Dr. Frank Chae in Colorado?
I had surgery with Thomas Brown this week and he’s been amazing! Is there somewhere I can read about your husbands experience, missy?
