@@chellede Ok I guess that's better..... sort of And good on ya for feeling beautiful in your own skin!

RM, this is a lot better than what it was. It was bright red. Even my nurse said I might get some blistering and pimple like spots. Thank goodness that never happened. Right now it's just a little bit itchy. I take benedryl every night and put benedryl cream. The doctors will see them Monday.

Chellede, u r awesome! Love the swimsuit.

Mine itch really bad also. What date was your surgery?

My surgery was 10/14.

Not sure I gave my update yesterday, feel like my memory has gone lately. lol Anyway I had my follow up apt as I had surgery on 10/14/2014. Everything is going well. Got my biopsy tumor results and it was benign. Yeahhhh Just have do a follow-up CT every 3 months to keep an eye on it. Sad news is I am on full liquids for another 3 weeks. Could really use some soft mushy foods. I have already planned my meal for Nov 14. lol I have not had any solid food since Oct 4. Every day gets better. I wont cheat even though I have 3 weeks. My mindset it is the right place. I have too many health problems for the sleeve not to work for me. I have no cravings and the smell of food does not bother me. I think what has helped me is that I have never been a big food person. I would have to remind myself to eat when my sugar gets low. But when I did eat of course it wasn't healthy stuff. Love this group and sorry if I posted something like this yesterday.

Feeling silly. I'm done with pics for today LOL

@@Kpar909956 lots of us, including me, had our surgeries on the 14th. Congrats congrats and more congrats on it being benign. I'm so happy for you !! Why 3 more weeks of liquids? Well it doesn't matter why.. you seem like a very strong individual and have you head on right.. major kudos to you !! Glad you're doing well !!!

Kpar, awesome news about the tumor.

Chellede, more pics please :-)

Hey guys, I was sleeved on the 20th. Been checking the site but haven't been posting much.

Drum roll. . . I am in Onederland! I actually hit 199.1 this morning. I haven't seen that number in a really long time. Today is also the day the poop returned, yeah me.

I am still having itching around my glue sites but they all look good. Still have various bruises and ouch is from needle sticks.

I am still taking my dilaudid and liquid Tylenol for pain and well controlled.

Still on full liquids and seem to tolerate premier Protein best. I tried making some of my previous protein concoctions but they seemed very frothy and gave me more gas. I go back to see the Nut on 11/4 for diet advancement.

Hope all my fellow BariPals are doing ok, and with that, I think I am all caught up now.
