It is hard to believe I am a week and a day post op. I must admit I am ready to advance my diet. I also must admit that if it wasn't for you guys I would be off VST. Just so much BS on the boards. Yes, I am emotional right now and usually have thicker skin, but not right now.

I reported her days ago. We are all titled to our own opinions. However, some of us have GOD given common sense not to express our feelings in a way that offend an entire race. This is not the first post I have seen you spout your ignorance. Talk about leaving people alone... You must be one miserable women. REPORT THAT!

That is awesome! I have obsessed about what I ate and drank my last two vacations and stilled gained weight! I want my next one to be like yours!

Can I just say for someone that has been eating different variation of soups for 3 weeks, y'all are killing me! Damn both plates look good!

Oh! I am so ecstatic and happy for you. I know you have been going through some things. I am praying for you and wishing you a speedy recovery. I am so glad you were able to proceed!

I was 256lbs day of surgery on 10/1. When I came home I was 263lbs. Today I am 246lbs. I expected to come home heavier same thing happened after my c-section. Are you urinating and getting enough fluids? I know for the first few days I could smell the medicine in my urine. Sorry gross, but true.

Good luck to this week's Octosleevers!

Yes they do. I live here and know many people that get stuff done.

I had surgery 10/1 and going back on the 16th. The 15th is a local holiday. I honestly feel like I could go back this week. My hospital stay was 2 days and I needed it. The day after surgery I really was feeling bad.

I think sometimes people forget this forum is multicultural and is made of people from all walks of life. I am offend by the comments and I am not Latina; however I live in a Latin American country. That was a very bigoted statement and unfortunately because we are on a forum people feel the need to say what ever they feel no matter who's feelings are affected. I have seen posts from particular individual on VST and I try to stay clear. I am reporting this post.-

That is awesome!

So far so good. I was taken back this AM @ 945. I am not sure what time they put me to sleep, but I woke up at 12:45. I was in recovery for @ 3 hours. I am I n my room and my compression stockings are hooked up to some machine kinda like a blood pressure cuff. They sent in a person and she gave me a breathing treatment and I have to do exercise every hour. I have a dull uncomfortable pain. I am in and out. I am thirsty has hell! Can't have anything to drink yet. Thanks for all ur prayers.

Glad it worked for you!

I am on my period is stated 3 days after surgery no cramps. I am thinking great maybe my insides are still asleep. So today is day 3 of period and terrible cramps! I never have cramps on day 3. I get up in middle of the night to pee too!!!! The first night was ruff getting out bed, it is getting easier. This not being able to sleep is a bear. On the plus side I am 17lbs down including preop diet. I am happy about that!

Anyone else not sleeping? Do you take an acid reducer? I am taking Nexuim desolved in water yuck! I do find it to help.

Yep I dream about food. It is weird!

My one incision where they pulled my stomach out is itching like crazy. I did expect that to happen so soon.

My left one u is sore today like I did to much. I have the heating pad on it.

I wouldn't push it and say I feel great. I am very tired after being out. Plus I am just not resting well. You will get there. Don't be so hard on yourself! Remember we are all so different in this entire process.

I had my first outing today after surgery. My daughter's school has an international festival to represent all the counties that attend. They have a parade and a show for each country. There are also tons of food booths from Argentina to Venezuela. I was not hungry or tempted! I drank over 20oz of water and 3 oz of tea!!!! I am so thankful that I am feeling well!!!

Yeah! That is awesome!!!!!!

I just got the Jack Links in the mail from Amazon. Of course I can't eat it yet, but my hubs likes his low cal high protein snacks too. Being abroad we are limited to our selections. I love me some beef jerky I will be happy when I can eat it again!

I am on children's pain reliever too. I don't need anything stronger. We were sleeved the same day! Maybe try a different brand

This is so true day 2 I was a mess!
