Well I have one heck of a week I am so glad it is over. Last week I was craving some watermelon. I am on the mushie stage. So I got some seedless watermelon puree it in the blender. Well it went down fine and it everything was okay. On Monday I started to get a bad stomach ache everytime I drank or ate something. Well on Tuesday it got worse, I ate Breakfast and after that it went downhill. The pain and vomiting was bad. I so afraid I might have a leak or ucler. So on Wednesday I went to emergency room and they did tests and blood work. I was concerned about a leak and the surgeon said at seven weeks the staple line is healed. So that was sigh of relief. Well what happen was something got stuck in the opening of stomach to the colon which casue some inflamation which was causing the pain and naueous. So they gave me some medicine and things are getting better. Now I can keep things down. In the process of thinking watermelon was the only I have eaten that different in my diet. So sleevers becareful of those seeds if accidently swollen them by mistake. It will be awhile for I eat watermelon again. So I am taking things very slow. I am eating about 2 oz. right now that is all my sleeve can take. I hope this issue helps someone realize how sensitive your sleeve can be. Well enough of my rambling.

Have a great weekend.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post about what happened to you! It's a good warning for everyone out there to know that even the smallest things may not be small enough and to be diligent in the chew chew chewing and of course, not to swallow foreign objects lol

All kidding aside, I'm so glad you're feeling better!

I had an egg for the first time and lost it! Back to shakes for me, maybe I need more healing time before moving on? First time I've been sick. Day 17

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
