I saw my surgical team yesterday and was told I'm progressing nicely, though I had to get IV fluids because I was showing some signs of dehydration and come back next week to ensure I'm not dehydrated still. They also said I no longer need to sip since I'm not having any pain, but I just need to pay attention to what my sleeve tells me in terms of STOP. I should be able to get more fluids this was now that I don't need to wait the dreaded 15 minutes per ounce. Should be interesting to see how today goes.

My NUT says weigh cooked. That said remember volume and weight are different. (Ie 4 oz of ground turkey may be more than 1/2 c) so just watch what you’re weighing with regards volume. But then again your stomach should help tell you too

Maybe he's scared you'll see a message from his internet girlfriend or his weird porn. Who know?

I was able to go half way, side with pillows but leaning toward stomach 5 days after

So the doc wants another week before i try lifting again and then only light weights for another week after that. i don't know how much of this slow healing process is me just being an old **** or if my post op diet is slowing things down or hell maybe Tricep tear just takes along time to heal. I do know i dont want to do any damage to it again. Not being able to do much of anything with your right arm is a pain in the ass if your right handed. well me and the wife and daughter are off to Reno for a family reunion this weekend so that means lots of vegan food (daughter) sigh i will weigh in real early in the morning and post my Saturday update if i lost any weight this week. need 4 more pounds before August 1- will have my 1 year follow up with surgeon in first week of August Hope everyone has a great weekend and i'll be back monday to rant and rave against the evils of added sugar and processed carbs.

First of all, I am sorry this happened to you....But man that was the funniest thing I have seen here in a long time. From the title to the post.....You put a smile on my face.

I am just now 2 weeks post op and can sleep on my stomach but it's still a bit uncomfortable. I say by next week I'll be as good as new. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BariatricPal mobile app

Some hormones are stored in fat and just the quick change in can effort hormone levels. Maybe check with your MD about it. Maybe once your hormone levels stabilize your sex drive to return. Good luck! Highest Wt: 265/Surgery Wt: 255/ Current Wt: 135
