Congrats on the weightloss. I've been up and moving around since I got back from Mexico. I'm going back to work tomorrow (I have a desk job). I also have annoying gas pains. Today at church I forgot all about my sleeve and took part in communion. Luckily I didn't have a problem with sleevie. Just keep up the good work and stay hydrated.

I'm still having gas pains also. not terrible but annoying. like the kind where you force yourself to burp, not a real burp.

My preacher came by afterward and sat with my husband while I was beening transfered to recovery. He is a great guy. He has seen me in through a lot. I work with the youth, so I go along on all the trip, like to beach trip and snow skiing. He told me that I looked better the day od surgery then the day at the water park. LOL If you have someone to come visit you, try to ask them to be positive toward you before hand. I knew he would joke with me. So I knew it would be good. My BFF came by to see me, but I don't remember her being there. I talked to her once I got home. She came and got me yesterday and took me to see Christmas lights and brought me a unsweet tea. She is the BEST. Tried to surround your self with positive people. If you do experience negative remarks. Ignore them, because in a few month, you can throw the weight lose in their face. LOL

Wow, 16 days and you are eating food? I can't even move out of the clear liquid stage until the 27th and I had my surgery the past Monday the 12th. But when I am able to, I am going to enjoy every second! Just think, you will be the only one out of your friends to lose weight over the holidays! Good luck!

Congratulations. I am one day post op too. I had a hernia I didn't know about either. I too have a little shoulder pain and pain in a couple of places. Taking the pain medicine. I took a walk today too. Just so excited to have this band!

Congraduation. Mine was today. I had a hernia repair

Congratulations, I am glad everything went well. I am a Cincinnati native as well. I am cheering for you and your success.
