Has anyone's partner been able to feel the strings?

So those of you who are post op and are using birth control have you had any weight gain or has your weight loss slowed at all? What type are you taking?

When were you able to add baked/grilled fish to your diet? I'm dying!!!!!!

I think the fact that it reminded me of "fat girl" days is what irritated me so much more. I'm used to having days where nothing fits because it's too SMALL. I just wasn't mentally ready for it to happen the other way around. Yep I've got to have some staples that fit.

So I've been hanging around the house since surgery. I've gone to walmart, the pharmacy etc., but not anywhere else. Today my mom asked me to go to church with her. I thought, why not? I feel pretty good (had oatmeal for the first time today) and she's been helping me a lot. So I shower and try to get dressed and to my semi horror my clothes don't fit. Like my fav dress pants...NO. So I try my fav jeans and it looks like I could stuff a "package" in the front. Then I take them off without even unzipping them. My shirts are big as well, but with a belt or little cardigan I can make some of them work. Oh but wait! My "little" go to cardi's aren't little anymore. I don't wanna look frumpy by wearing too big clothes, but I didn't realize this would start happening so soon. (Which I should be thrilled about, but it's darn frustrating when you're trying to leave) arrrggghhh Whew....I needed to vent!

I would also go the ER. That is in no way normal and is more than likely related to the sleeve. Don't walk, run there. You don't want that to happen multiple times.

So my highest weight ever was 285. My consult weight was 274. I was sleeved 5.30. Day of surgery 243. 1st day home from hospital 250. (I was so confused & bewildered) Today 235.7!

Anyone ever heard of it or tried it? I tried it last night for the first time and I think it was too heavy for my week old sleeve. I'm supposed to start purees today, but I'm apprehensive because my sleeve seems sore or too full. I don't even want to try to get my water in.

I was really wondering how this would work for me. I'm a bit of a foodie..well was. So I like great food & great friends and family too. I go out to breakfast with my mom once a week and with a group of girls at least once a month. I love the fellowship. I hope I don't start to hate it.

Oh crap looks like I have to buy it in TX. I don't see where I can buy it online or like a trader joe's.

That's what I'm talking about. Off to google now to research it. Thanks!

The last two days I've gotten in the 30's with protien and the 40's with water. I normally drink all protein drinks over ice to water them down a bit. I fell like I get full so it's hard to keep drinking. Tomorrow I'm starting operation 64. I must get it done. I have my one week follow up Friday. I'm thinking about purchasing a tub of unjury non flavored from my dr's office. That should make things easier.

Sharing makes it so much better. :-)
