We need a group for march 2014 gals and girls!

Hey guys! I'm Chelsea, I'm 22, and had gastric bypass on march 3. I'm a nurse, and this surgery is muuch more taxing than I anticipated. So, let's all help each other out with support!

Good afternoon everyone. My name is Jeremiah. Had the sleeve gastrectomy on the 12th. I started my weight loss at the end of November at 491 pounds. I lost 73 pounds prior to surgery and about 20 since. I have been struggling a little with the pureed portion, but still getting in all my protein and liquids. I am 32, married, with two kids, and am looking forward to the rest of my life.

Hey! They told me it's "normal" to have more pain on left If they did laparoscopic. But Today when I went to sit down I got a sharp intense pain on my RIGHT around rib cage area. I had been doing fine too! I called and waiting for the dr to call back....

Probably lifted too much.
