May 15th, 2017 Sleevers Check in Here!!!



Recommended Posts

Ok. So I've developed this sharp nabbing pain on the right side of my belly. It hurts if I bend over, take a deep breath, cough, laugh, etc. I thought maybe I pulled the muscle where the incision is? Then I looked up the symptom from other Sleevers, seems like this pain pops up around 2 or 3 weeks, maybe later. Has something to do with the healing process. Might last a few days to a week. But the best thing is to rest and not strain it. My binder will be coming in handy these next few days. Anyone else with this?

So, I tried chicken! It was so good and yummy. We took our girls to eat out. I just figured I'd nibble on what they order. Nope, corn dog, fries, mac n cheese, mozzarella sticks....nevermind that. So I just asked for a grilled chicken breast with some cheese thrown on top. It was the best grilled chicken I've had in a long time. Very juicy, so that helped a lot. Of course I brought the rest home and threw it in the freezer for later. It was a nice addition to the limited foods I've been eating. Yay for chicken!

I ate chicken today also and it was great!!

I had about half of a small barbecued thigh. It was heavenly and my stomach liked it.

Your kids order like mine used too lol.

Sounds like you had a good day😃

Good evening, I was sleeping most of the day so yeah the chicken was chewed really well diced cut. My youngest help herself to some it. It went down smoothly of course only a few pieces. Yeah for bm. I hope you feel better. 😃. Cramps sucks had a few this morning. Your menu sounds great enjoy.

@Sweet as peaches it sounds like you had a restful day😃 I took your lead and I ate about half of a small chicken thigh. I chewed it up really well and it was so delicious. We ended up going to my daughters house for a barbecue so i didn't have to cook after all.My daughter hooked me up with some egg salad to have for a snack later. I was able to snap this cute picture of granddaughter and my hubby today.

My kids will too. I swear they're all in a growing spurt at the same time. They ate all their food, shared with each other. That was two hours ago. Now they're eating again. Thankfully, kids ate free at Applebee's today, so we spent $17 for all 5 of us. I call that a win!

Yes, my baby has been eating all day it's like living with a baby dinosaur. And she is tall already (5'7) I think she is having another growth spurt also.

Wow 5"7 sounds like me growing up. I was always one of the tallest girls in my class.

My dh and I have been empty nesters for many years now, but I am so blessed to have my grandchildren living so close. They are only 6 minutes away by car.

listening to yours and newme17 stories about your children brings back so many memories.

Yeah, I thought I pulled a muscle or stitch. It hasn't interfered too much with walking though. So that's a plus.

And she's 12? Wow. It seems the age...my step daughter has always been thin, but now she's stick thin, long and lanky like. It's amazing what she can eat. Even before surgery she still ate more than me. Don't know where it all goes. lol

Awww...sound alike great memories too. I, too, will have them. Although I prefer to skip the tween years. 😂 I'm getting grays already. Lol

im glad you had a beautiful day and a rest day of cooking too. 😊

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
