  1. I dont know how many other people do this but whenever I come home I change into sweatpants/pjs. I have not been able to wear jeans for more than a few hrs comfortably in a long time! Well, on monday, I was home cleaning the kitchen and looked down and noticed that I never took my jeans off after taking ym daughter to school! I was comfy and kept them on all day as like a trophy. Maybe tmi right now: to top it of I am on my period this week, so normally nothing fits! It just felt awesome!

    Well this sucks!

    I have been doing some strength training about everyday. It is very light as I am just starting. Well I tried to lay on the ground today and do some ab workouts, and my lower back feels bruised! It hurt just to lay on my back on the floor. So I got a pillow, no such luck Is there any advice for this? Any standing up ab workouts I can do?
  3. I was sleeved on Dec 26 2012. I did very well with what I am suppposed to have for a while, but lately, I have been eating poorly. I want o snack all day, i want breads, I dont get my protein in. I have been eating chocolate ( It is my time of the month ( sorry)) I drink full sugar tea. I am feeling so guilty about this. For a while I was only doing these things once and a while, but now I am messing up all the time. I also stopped losing weigh this week. How do I snap out of it? has this happened to anyone else?
  4. I just started getting a new pain in my stomach area. I was sleeved on Dec 26 2012. I dont know if it is acid or a problem that is worse but it is starting to get annoying. It is when I eat and between meals and it comes and goes I havent been taking my acid reducer like I am supposed to,, but not sure if that could be it. I dont have any other weird symptoms, just this!!!!
  5. I was sleeved on Dec 26 by Dr. Nain and Dr. Dockins. This was my experience. 1, I had ice chips until day 2, wasnt allowed to have anything else 2 On day 2 I could have CLEAR liquids. When I went home I was allowed full liquids, like she said. 3in another post she stated that she eats this in a day : I realize I haven't loss be ause I am on mushy/soft but I have been eating mushy/ whatever I am want. "Breakfast I am ok I usual eat a instant oatmeal mixed with Greek yogurt With 2 protein I between . Lunch is the same chicken sAlad or something like it. But dinner or the problem I can eat shrimp or hamburger with pepper gravy and broccoli or chicken breast. So my question is what are some things you eat for dinner I need more choices. Also I get hungry in the middle of the day what do you eat for snacks? Ps my doc said NO rice pasta or bread, or strawberries grapes oranges or apples I don't get sick when I eat I is the 45/45/45 rule instead of 30. Any suggestions" But then says she lives with someone who will tell her if she is eating wrong! " Gravy" Isnt a good food. We got a binder with the foods we should eat and Im pretty sure Gravy isnt on that list. 4. Doctors cut her open and she had absolutely no pain? Please!!! 5. On your first visit back to talk to the nut and the NP they show you a pic of "old" Stomach sitting next to your "new" stomach inside of you still. This is Dr. Nains trademark the nurse told me. She should know that she had it done because of that. 6. In my post op paperwork it told me that if I started gaining weight like that I need to call right away because something would be wrong. She has already been back to the drs office before this visit where they would have looked at what is going on! If you ask me it sounds like a catfish/troll who's roommate got a surgery and thinks she knows enough to come here and make everyone start fighting. I am sorry if I seem rude to anyone , but this is my Dr. and I wont have someone smearing his name just to get attention. 7. "SO FEEL FRRE TO KISS MY ASS. i HATE THAT i CAME HERE FOR ADVICE BUT NOW i GETTING BEATING UP LIKE I AM LYING. I DONT NEED ATTENTION. I HAVE THAT AT HOME." From who your roommate? 8.I dont know if all docs put the pain pumps in the same spot , but hers looks waaay lower than mine was on her pic. This could be for any reason I am sure but same dr same placement I would think!
  6. What is getting me through right now is Unjury unflavored protein and a glass of oj and a banana with like 3 pieces of ice! Blend really well. Also I use a straw to drink it, because I can smell the protein a little if I dont and that turns me off to it!
  7. Does anyone here take a gummy vitamin? I know My nut said not to, but its the only thing I can handle! I dont understand why I can have a calcium chew but not a Gummy Vitamin? (btw the regular chewables make be sick )
  8. to my first stall I know , I know , not the happy post you were looking for!! But I am trying to make sure I am getting in my protein and drinking all my water!!!!! I am feeling the frustration and even had a dream about throwinf the scale across the room last night! lol! I will get through it , but it does make make me want to yell when I weigh myself ! How are you stallers getting through it?
  9. I just ordered the unjury unflavored protein powder . I am having the same problem with the shakes and hope I will be able to add the protein to crystal light or something light instead. I am having a hard time with the thicker drinks. Actually I am having a hard time with drinking period. but i just learned I can tolerate popsicles so I am downing them all day (sf of course).
  10. I am on omeprozol. I called and they told me to take it 2x a day now and see if that works!
  11. So every now and then i get this pain in my stomach (not abdomen) and when i eat it feels better. So i figured it was hunger pain. Well now i feel like i am getting hungry more often. But then, i started thinking, what if it isnt hunger? When will i get to know my new stomach?
  12. I was sleeved the same day and once the gas starts coming out it feels better! I even mae a post on how terrible ifelt. Also dont beat yourself up on how much you eat. I had about 1/8 of a cup of chickenbroth for breakfast and have been sipping on watter and a protein shake since about 10:30. Your stomach is swollen, just do what you can. If you are peeing you arent dehydrated! Just dont stress your body out more than it already is!

  14. On the 10 minute video it said to give the injections at the same time each day,My injection today was at 9, but my hubby leaves early for work so I would need the injection at like 6. Did anyone have this problem with the timing of lovenox?
