Please add me to the list. I had surgery march 12. Had a few down days after hurting myself doing too much. I just felt so good on the 8th day! Believe them when they say no lifting, no bending, and no twisting. The docs really mean it when they say walking only :)

Wondered how you were doing! Hope it's getting better.

Slimmac here and please add me to the list for 18 Mar.

How about Spring sleeves or thin sleeves. Especially with the pounds everyone is dropping!!

I used a spoon on cream of mushroom Soup. It was great having another taste besides Water, chicken broth and a bunch of fruit or berry flavors.

ChangingMeforMe,how big are the sups you are taking? In fact question for who ever wants to answer, how big are the sips you take? Are you still measuring or just drinking?

Wow so I spent all day yesterday walking. Outside, inside, laps around Target and reized the gas / shoulder issue was no longer hurting! As soon as I got home and sat down, if came back with a vengeance!

In addition, still a severe abdomen pain (not near incisions).

Picked up gas x strips and chewable children's Tylenol ( pharmacist says it has less sugar than liquid).

Here's to post op day 8

At day 11 I was able to take more than sips. Im day 13 today. I don't chug drinks but a mouth full of Water or Protein Drink goes down easily.

Please do something for me! I know as we get further in our recoveries, we will post here less & less. Would you please follow me on my blog, email or fb? I don't want to lose touch with my newfound friends & fellow March Sleevers! I started my blog when I got the LapBand, I have had weekly posts & weigh-ins since 2009. There are so many others on our path who share their advice & experiences with me. Do you have a support system in place? I would love to stay buddies!!

Today's rough.

I am covered in hives and I feel like I have four billion mosquito bites. Definitely allergic to one of my new meds or Vitamins. :(

WTF it seems it is one thing after another. I guess it would just be as easy as everyone thinks if we didn't have these speed bumps.

It's been 2 days since surgery and I'm feeling pretty good. The worst part right now is my swollen abdomen. I don't know if it's because of the gas or the trauma of the surgery (maybe both?) but i cannot wait for it to get back to normal. I'm wondering how long that took for others?

I'm doing pretty good so far getting things down. I'm drinking lots of Water, had my first Protein Shake, drank a whole bottle of the Isopure Protein drink and even a little bit of yogurt drink and applesauce. Took all my meds and Vitamins too.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
