Congrats on being sleeved and welcome to the losers bench!!! Sorry you are still experiencing pain. I didn't have it real bad, but it's probably also the hiatal hernia repair that is making your recovery more difficult. I know it will get better everyday for you! You may not be able to get all the liquid and protein in, so focus on hydration first. The protein might take a while to get in, just do what you can. Hope you feel better soon!!

Yep it's when you have a lot of restriction in your tummy and the weight loss is fast.

Yayyy I'm so happy for you!! Sorry about the pain, but it sounds like you got good meds for it. It's good they fixed your hiatal hernia, saves another surgery! Take it easy and keep sipping!! :cheer2:

Are you on solids now? Do you think it's what you're trying to eat or how much? I think sometimes we think we can eat more than what we actually can because it is such a small amount. Even just a bite too much can make it come back up. Are you on a ppi? The acid can cause nausea, and so can dehydration. I hope it gets better for you!

It is normal! I guess you are sleeved now, hope you're having an easy recovery!!

Congrats on surgery tomorrow, wishing you an easy surgery and speedy recovery!!!

Way to go!! Good job on riding it out calmly!

Wow girl, I can see a big difference already!! You're so pretty, in both pics! :cheer2:

Congrats on making the decision to be sleeved, and welcome to the forum!

Congrats!!! I'm so happr for you. Hope you have an easy surgery and speedy recovery!! :cheer2:

Wow!! Thats awesome, congrats!! :cheer2:

Yayyyyy glad you are having a fairly easy recovery, welcome to the losers bench!! :cheer2:

Wow, glad you at least got it taken care of pretty quickly! Feel better soon, and i hope you recover quickly!!

I shouldn't have spoken for all women, I guess I should say that I prefer medium-thick, not small-skinny. But thats just the physical, I go by personality and compatibility in actually choosing a mate. Thank goodness a few folks looked beyond my jiggly or I'd be lonely and childless.

Wow, congrats!!! Welcome to the losers bench!! I know just how you feel. I was so thrilled to be sleeved too! Glad you're feeling better, getting to eat/drink, and your leak test went well!!

Yayyyyyy!! So happy for you!! :cheer2:

If it's females and you're a guy, I am not sure it's a threat other than if you get any thinner you may make them look or feel fatter lol. We women tend to like our men at least a little bigger than us. But I also agree with the others too. If they've only known you as bigger, then you do look too skinny to them. Just do what looks and feels good to you. I used to say people complain when I'm fat, and then they complain when I lose weight too!! I'm done pleasing others, so I'm gonna please ME now!!

I'm so sorry, I know it is so disappointing. We're here for ya!! Maybe the wk will pass super fast!

Seems a lot of stalls around maybe it's the heat! You're right, this too shall pass!! Keep the faith!

I'm sorry you are having issues, but glad you made a drs appt. You need the peace of mind. Let us know!!

Wow, thats's fantastic!!! :cheer2:

Yeah the stalls suck for sure!! But apparently a big part of our new post-op life. I am trying to prepare myself for them so hopefully I won't let it get to me. The lbs will start dropping again, but maybe you should take a break from the scales for a few days. Maybe measure or try on smaller clothes. Keep the faith!!

I bet it was wonderful getting to move to the solids stage!!! Yay! You are doing an awesome job!!! :cheer2:

70lbs is awesome!!! Congrats, you look GR8!!! :cheer2:

Sounds like fun and I agree, you're hubby is a keeper
