Who else is getting sleeved on the 19th? I'm in Baton Rouge, La. Would love to have a sleeve buddy!!

Sounds terrible. Hope you're ok

It's so true there are adverts everywhere

@ Gracy0721 same for me. I cough every morning. My shoulders are still painful from all the gas. I broke down yesterday and licked the salt off a pretzel. I was so desperate to taste something normal lol. I'm jealous of your squeeze cheese! Haha

I am fine ladies. I am glad we caught it early and it wasn't a pulmonary embolism. @ Gracy0721 I have been coughing and your right it really hurts. That darn left side oh boy can it hurt after I cough.

@@abbyrn27 LOL!

How's the weather where you guys are? I was feeling kinda down this morning and went for a really nice walk outside. I live in Michigan and today's weather is the PERFECT spring day!

Down Sourh it's gonna be a warm muggy day!!

I live in el paso tx and it's pretty nice out. @@abbyrn27 a walk outside sounds great right now. I have a ? The taste of my caramel protein shake is too sweet so I added a dash of cinnamon. It leveled out the sweetness. Is this ok? I don't remember the bariatric center saying anything about cinnamon

Beautiful spring day in London. I was feeling down this morning too but I've felt better this afternoon. Hardest thing is not being able to lift my children. I'm proud of myself today. I've managed frozen juice, soup and milk today. So much better than yesterday

I am in Puyallup, Washington about an hour out of Seattle, Washington. It's going to be a warm day but over casted.

Cinnamon is on my "ok to spice things up with" list from my surgeon. I say go for it!

I've been to Puyallup! My husband was in the navy from 2000 to 2004. We stayed in Everett and Bremerton. Oh how I miss it!! It's my life goal to make it up there again

Yay! Thank you Abby!

I didn't think anyone would know where I live. It is great place to raise a family. I love summers here.

This is really odd, but since my surgery the print on my phone is distorted. I had no problems seeing anything on it before, but after its so blurry. Time for some readers!!

I'm having a bad night. Feeling very angry and upset with myself for having to put myself and my family through this. Not a good evening. Feeling lonely, even though surrounded by love. Sorry, just had to get it out there somewhere.

Definitely been a lot of ups and downs over the past week but I am feeling pretty good today. I do have thrush from the oral pain medication so the doctor called in some nystatin for that. Good with fluids today and started eating pureed today. I am holding off to weigh myself until I go back to work on the 1st but I can't wait to see that number go down!
