Peacequeen, I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing this leak -- so what are the next steps? Do they have a good handle on where it is and how to fix it?

I dunno, its weird. I don't feel cold, I just got the chills, if that makes any sense. I have felt more cold in general since surgery, but not really THAT different. Well, it hasn't repeated, and nothing else weird, so I'm going to guess just weird body tricks!

Hey there, I am two weeks post op and have been noticing some dull back pain basically right behind my stomach area, most noticeable when I am sitting up straight. Anyone else experienced this, is it related to vsg or just coincidental do you think? It's not sharp pain, just dull.

good to hear. I do have to add one new thing to the mix. took a nap and had chills as I was waking up from my nap. no fever though. Had this a couple of days after the surgery, too, and it went away, so I'm thinking just body adjustment, but....not sure.

I have some body shaper things I wear to smooth out the lumps and bumps. Is it ok to wear these at my stage (just abt 2 weeks) I am not having any incision issues.

Thank you!!! I go back to work tomorrow so might like to look less lumpy.

Lots of stuff huh? Hmmm, let me see... Am: Optisource chewable Dexilant ppi Unrelated med And wondering when I start metformin again. lunch Optisource chewable dinner Optisource chewable Bed Optisource chewable Unrelated meds In a couple of weeks I add d3, Calcet and actigall. I wish I didn't have to take the multi 4x a day. I bought the opurity one a days and the nut sent me a big list of addl supplements I would have to take to equal the Optisource.

Thanks fellow sleevies, I am going to do my best and put the scale away, so hard!! So if you are a slow loser, do you still stop losing at the same time everyone else does, in terms of the major window for weight loss?

Glad to hear you are doing well, Tina, sorry about the cold, boo. Every day I have a nap from 1-4 pm, too, and I am wondering how I am going to survive back at work this thurs. i work from home, and my boss knows I was going to play it by ear at first, so maybe I can still fit in a short nap!

This is a really old topic, but I'm thinking a lot about emotional eating and what tools I can use to work on that part of all of this. I was an OA/DA member about six years back....it was helpful, but it was very depressing to me. I am not sure what it is about it? Someone earlier in the thread talked about manifested demons and some of that is true to me. I felt so down and focused on my failure in OA/DA. I am really seeking somethign that can be positive and proactive. Not sure what that is yet. I joined "shrinkyourself.com" in hopes that that might help, because the bookw as good, but the site is weird and feels repetiive, but i'm trying. I'm with others about WW. it felt like a joke to me, because so many of the people are there to lose 20 lbs or something....and it just feels like while it touches at emotional eating, sure, its superficial. I am going to try the WLS support groups. I consider this whole forum a WLS support group. But I am also surprised that there isn't a forum just around psychological/emotional eating issues to discuss those! Well, rambling, but it is what I am thinking about.

I know for me its head hunger. I am having a really hard time with it right now, wanting to eat what others are eating and trying to be satisfied with my stupid liquids. But I know this time will pass, and that pretty soon I'll be able to eat some things I like again, after I've eaten my Protein first. I just keep thinking....in six weeks, I can be reasonable again....and now its less, a little more than 4 weeks . We will be within reason soon. I think what is frustrating most for me, is that here I am, doing what I am supposed to do, on a ridiculously low amount of calories and walking 30-45 minutes per day and I am not losing hardly anything Its not fair.

I would call too. I moved slower than most in pain recovery, i think. I found I had to take the prescription meds longer than I see most people say they needed them. Are you still using them?

Five here,no drain, the big owie one is on my right side.

Just had to note, it's wayyyyyy different with full liquids. I have to go much slower and can't have much!

I am not having any issues swallowing pills. They did tell me to discontinue metformin for now, not sure if that is due to size, not eating much or potential tummy upset...

Sounds like making it harder to me. Someone suggested to me a stack of 4 oz cups, when I was done with the stack, I had my fluids in. I could only do that a day or two. Now I am just keeping track w myfitnesspal app.
