Wow you look Amazing! Great job!

I feel alot better but I am tired and starting to get aggravated alot. I need to start eating more and it is very very very hard to do that.

Oh ya in my Avatar pic I am 29 lbs heavier than I am now.........amazing.

That is so amazing! I can feel in your words your happiness. Congrats!

I have to loose about 60 ish for my old goal but i might change that to 125 so if I do add 15 lbs to that. I should be eating around 800 calories a day and that has not happened yet. I am about 400. Eating that much is a MAJOR challenge for me, hence the quick loss. Your weight loss is awesome too, you look fabulous!

I have lost all weight since my surg. My ticker is wrong I am 10 lbs down from that. I have never had emotional eating issues, I was really always hungry due to hormone problems. So I am not used to these new issues at all! I have only been obese for 12 years, before that I was only sightly above a normal weight.

Dr. Aceves is where i went after doing 2 years of VSG research. I chose him after looking at my VSG here in the states as well. Do your research and feel comfortable with YOUR decision is the best advise I can tell you.

My husband has also said the same things..."Your going to leave me when your skinny for some young dude." So yes they are human too and get insecure just like we do..it's normal and common. I have lost almost 60 lbs since my highest weight and 2 months since surgeory and now I am seeing my husband say things like, "My hot wife" so it does change I think he is getting used to having a hot wife ( not that I am Like HOT or something but I am to him..haha) on his arm.

So I have been having problems with my new tummy. I cant seem to eat really anyting just liquids. I have only been getting down about 40-60g of Protein a day through supplements. I also am on my monthly cycle which is HORRIBLE right now with an untolerble flow. I am 26 days post op and down 34 lbs. Well last night I was on the toilet and got so nausiated I stood up and went to the door and asked my hubby to get me a suppository for the nausia and I passed out in my closet. I had not ate food just Water, so I wasnt anything I ate. Has anyone had issues like this? I am concerned. I have a crooked nose now and a lump on my head and a black eye. Thanks L

I have not hear from Dr. yet but I am waiting. I almost went to the ER last night I also have really bad back pain and I think I have a kidney infection. I just feel like crap period. I know people say the first 30 days are the worst, but I don't see how I am going to feel better I am at 27 days today

I called and talked to Monica and am awaiting a call back from Dr. Campos. I feel like crap.......

I am 20 days post op tomorrow and tonight after dinner my stomach started gurgling to the point that is has not stopped for an hour now and it is starting to scare me. Has anyone else had this problem? I am really geting concerned about this. The grugling is lloud very loud, no pain but it doesnt seem to be moving down at all. Thanks L

I had my surg done on the 24th as well. I am still eating chicken broth daily. I am having problems with all Protein drinks and just about everything. SO I am sticking with what works. This liquid Protein I bought that I add to tea, chicken broth and some other cream cereals. I am to afraid to venture off in the food world. The gas and pain is not worht it to me. That's probably why I have lost 30 lbs in 20 days.

It just scared me that's all. It has stopped. I have never experienced something like that with my stomach. I have always had a very strong stomach, never gassy never nausiated, never gurgles....I was very lucky before in that but I also think that is one of the reasons I was able to comcume so much...because my stomach could handle ALOT. L

I had my sleeve done on Sep 24th and I too am having the same problem. In 2 days I can start full mushies and this protein liquid thing is beyond tough.

I need pain meds bad. The Dr only gave me 8 pills that are not good. WHat pain meds can I take if I cannot eat if I take percocet or vicodin can those be put with Water and then consumed? Help I am in pain bad!

Update..Dr perscribed me liquid vicodin today so all is good now...I am feeling much better. Thanks to all for your comments and posts! L

I am 7 days post op and woke up this morning with a bloody nose. I never get them so I am concerned. Any thoughts? L

I am here in Mexicali at my hotel, scared as Sh*t, waiting for Ernesto to pick us up at 7 for my surg. W Had pre ops done yesterday which went well. Staff was al nice and everything went as planed. Ernesto will be here at 7 to pick us up. Gota to finish geting ready so I wil keep u updated as I do it....you will too. There is me and the other girl who arrived yesterday her name is gloria and she is getiting a band. T Keep me in your prayers! Lydia

I have been getting them in but yesterday was a rough day because we traveled home on the airplane form CA to WA so I was less on my fluids yesterday.

Soory for the long wait on replies. I left the hospital on MOnday. Everything was great and wonderful. We drove from there to Ontario CA to my mother in laws house. That was a rought ride. ONe thing I did want to mention to folks..if you are going ther to get surg done consider getting pain meds prior to going from your PCP, they do not prescribe narcotics to you when they discharge you. I am sure it has to do with the border. Some people may need it some may not I did. Way lucky for me I had access to them immediately. I would have ended up in the ER trying to get pain meds and prove I need them..hmm not good. We left CA yesterday and I am home now. Woke up this am with a bloody nose so hmmmm TBC.

I am still in alot of pain from gas. I am 7 days out tomorrow. I ended up crushing some vicodin up that I had and have been using those. I cant wait for this paint to stop OMG it hurts!

So I am 1 day post op and a little hungry....but I'm not sure if its that or acid. I have been waiting to pst here for a long time I am so glad I am now able :thumbup:

yes i am in 23 had my leak tes all good no leaks! I am nw eating chicken broth which tastes amazing! I got more [ain meds in my IV cause i am really hurting! Wow as a few have stataed every day gets better. oh ya one yhing if your headed here bring tisue, its like pulling teeth to get a kleenex here!

So I still have a major gass bubble. If it wasnt for the gas bubble I wouldnt feel so bad......I kinda feel a little hungry too, It might be the gass though I dont know. I did get my IV out so I am on my own for liquids now. I am really afraid to drink too much as I do not want to experience any more horrible feelings or puke for that matter... Everyone here is amazing and nice. It has been a good experience.
