After an episode of the foamies, I felt better and sat down to talk with friends. All of a sudden, a mouthful of foam came up (mid sentence). It was weird, it was embarrassing, and I'm glad it has NOT happened again.

No weird dreams. My skin has never been softer. Then again, I have been using the bio-oil almost daily (which I HIGHLY recommend. It's great stuff). I'm losing a little extra hair these days, but not enough to be concerned about.

Hair is growing like crazy. Not hair on top of my head...but everywhere else. I have PCOS so I think it’s my hormones going bonkers but I am literally plucking my eyebrows every other day versus the every 3-4 days I was use to. Armpits, legs and even facial (chin/upper lip) is coming in like a champ lol!

My wax lady was like, “wow you’re coming in more often now.” ?

I had the dry skin but that went away after month 2 post op thank God. I have the weirdest food cravings. Toasted bread, pickles, shrimp with cocktail sauce... completely random.

I am in day five post up, also having very weird dreams. I have had absolutely no problems with post surgery other than dry skin, I only sleep about 3 hours and the sleep is full of odd dreams.

Trying on a size 6 to find it's too big.

Being shocked at my old pictures. I had no idea how big I was.

People calling me skinny or saying they're jealous of how thin I am.

Truly weird to me.

Am I the only one sleeved that didn’t experience any pain after about the second day? I’m not sure if I just have a Hugh pain tolerance or what but I felt normal and by day 5 it was back to reg scheduled programming lol.... anyone else? Because that’s super weird to me

How long has it been since your surgery?

My skin was super super dry as well, but I use Bio Oil and I seriously cannot say enough about how it’s helped. It’s changed my skin for the better and I won’t use another product.

I was out at the tanning salon (incisions covered) and running normal errands by day 4 post-op. No surgical pain from the moment I woke up in recovery. Only needed pain meds because surgical positioning tweaked an old back injury.
Oh, gosh...just realized that sounded like I was trying to one-up you.  Not my intention!  

Weird, vivid dreams that I remember when I wake up. The first week post-op they were about high fat, high carb, hi-calorie foods I was eating in the dream. Woke up anxious, thinking I screwed up, lol!!! Next came a few weeks of random celebrity interactions. I've hung out with Tom Brady and Giselle, Vince Vaughn, Prince. Dreamed I was breaking out of prison, too. I'm not even going to comment. ;)
