Getting Sleeved 1-29-13

I have a sharp pain at one of the incision sites. On the 3rd day after surgery I bent over and picked up my cat. Now if I move around much or certain ways it hurts like crazy. The other incision sites aren't sore at all. I hope I'm just worring too much.

Everyone has 1 incision more sore than the others and that's the one they pull your stomach out of. But a pulled internal isn't anything to really worry about, it just adds a bit to your healing time. Ice/heat and pain killers. And the internal stitches usually cause a burning feeling. You should be fine

Thank you. I'll try the ice or heat.

How much weight have you lost since surgery?

YAY! 3 weeks out for all of us today! I've lost 18 lbs so far. 14 of which came the first week (WOW!) and I've slowed down and even hit a stall during week 2. I weigh everyday and sometimes I'm even up a pound or so. I'm going to try to only weigh once a week but that's so hard to do LOL! I'm eating soft foods and doing well. I hadn't got sick from anything I've tried but today I had tuna from the can with a little light mayo - those couple bites I had tasted so good but as soon as it hit my tummy I was SICK! I held it together and it passed but it was rough! I had tuna just a few days ago and it was fine! Weird, but I guess it's part of the process. On week 4 I can introduce all foods back into my diet - hoping that goes better than the tuna did! I want a piece of chicken!

3 weeks and 21 pounds later, I almost feel normal again.

This morning when I woke up, without thinking about it, put my hands to my face and realized my face felt different! I could feel my face instead of so much soft fat. I can't wait for all the changes (good & bad)!

I've lost a total of 13 lbs since surgery which was week later now I been on a stall since. I do feel my face and body losing inches. My doctor told me to stop weighing myself and concentrate on fitting into clothes and lose inches. I'm on 600 calories a day and workout cardio twice a day 5 times a week for the past week.

I have lost 28 lbs since surgery date. I am not working out yet but I will start next week. I'm on mushy food now and I have been fine. I have not vomited or been nauseas. The only thing is that I have not gone to the bathroom in like 4 days! That is the only annoying thing!

Heck I still have hard time getting more than 10 min on treadmill. But I feel myself slowly losing.
