Christal, Well at least you are losing weight! I haven't lost ANYTHING since we got back from Mexico. Nothing. I lost 15 lbs while we were in Mexico but that is all. On the flip side, Coy has lost 65 pounds. I'm proud of him. His whole body is reshaping and he's starting to look different. Congrats on the weight loss girl, so sorry to hear about you guys losing your jobs. Hopefully you can file for unemployment to keep you going until work starts back up. Caley

I am basically in the same spot! I'm 23 days out and went from 213 to 198 and I've sat there for a week! I realize now that I need to drink more water! I'll try that to get back on track!

Thank you Tiffykins. At least I know it's normal and that I won't do it again!

So I was 13 days post-op on Easter. Since I knew that I would be starting my mushy diet the next day, I decided to fix myself a plate and eat dinner with the rest of my family. I had a teaspoon of mashed potatoes, a teaspoon of potato casserole, a few pieces of fried okra (I know not a mushy, but I chewed it very well), and a nibble of a deviled egg. Since all that went down good, I decided to try a very small small nibble of ham. I chewed that until there was nothing left. I did feel myself get full. I know it was alot of carbs, but dang it, it was a holiday! At least that's what I keep telling myself. Anyways, fast forward to yesterday, Monday. I had horrible diarrhea. I mean it was one of those DO NOT TRUST YOUR FARTS kind of day. I didn't cramp and it didn't hurt. But I would hear very strange noises and then feel the rumble and the pressure, and I just knew I had to run to the bathroom. Sometimes it wasn't diarrhea, just very explosive gas, other times it was pure water. Could this have been due to my carb binge?

Yeah since his face is smaller, it looks like he has much more beard. Of course, he likes to wear a full beard all the time so he likes his werewolf locks.

My husband is very hairy. Yes, they shaved him. They shaved a large circle out of his chest/belly area. The weird thing is that as he loses weight (he's down nearly 50 lbs) he looks hairier! Maybe because as he shrinks the hair folicles are closer together? I dunno! And they shave women too! I didn't think my stomach was hairy, but I know it was shaved because I had razor burn all over my stomach after surgery!

Haha Christal! Nice. Well me and my hubby rocked it on my day 8, his day 6. I guess men are ready sooner! LOL As for sleeping positions, I slept on my left side the night of my surgery. It was the only thing that helped the gas pains. But I'm a weirdo too! One of my favorite sleeping positions is to lay on my back with my legs sitting "indian style". LOL

It's not *brand new*, it's happened several times since surgery, but I will call the dr today.

I am 9 days out. Whenever I bend over I get a stabbing pain in my stomach on the right side. Is it my staple line healing? It's a sharp pain for about 30 seconds then a dull ache for about 30 minutes afterwards. Is this normal? Should I worry?

I realized that I posted that under another name. I didn't realize I had two accounts on here. I'm going to delete the other one!

We are fixing to leave for Mexico! My surgery is Monday. Excited and nervous at the same time though!

He did an x-ray but didn't say anything was wrong with my band. So I'm hoping it's just a leak that way I can get my band out and my sleeve done in one surgery!

I'm having surgery next Monday (4/11) with Dr. Almanza. I know that if my lap-band is eroded that he won't do the sleeve. So what are the symptoms of an eroded band? I am super nervous because I will be driving all the way from Arkansas to San Diego to do the surgery. I don't want to get down there and be super disappointed because I can't have the sleeve done... I have had weight regain in the past few months. I have regained about 35 lbs in 3 months! It started when I went in for a fill and the doctor dug around and dug around before taking me to x-ray to see why he couldn't access my port. He informed me it was turned around backwards and he sent me home. That was on a Friday. By Sunday I realized I could eat absolutely anything and everything in huge amounts. I've also had minor port pain ever since this happened. So can anyone tell me what might have happened? Could this weight gain be erosion or did my dr do something?

My husband is on day 3 of his liquid pre-op diet. I'm so jealous. He's already lost 15 lbs! Can you believe it! Fifteen pounds in THREE days!!!!
