Yeah I agree. Noone shud hsve to suffer if sonething can help. He being an ass about it. But im wondering ic the muscle relaxer idea was even brought up....

Dang. Did u bring up the muscle relaxer idea at all?. Im telling u thats the ONLY thing that gave me relief. Hope you feel better soon

Hey all! Sorry I didnt see this thread sooner. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING you are saying I went thru also with this left side pain issue. At about two month post op I was fed up. Surgeon kept saying it was muscular. So I came up with the CRAZY idea of taking a muscle relaxer. I called and ran the idea by surgeon and he agreed. Soon as I took one-NO PAIN. that was the only thing that helped me with the pain. Doc also wrote me an Rx for some physical therapy to do once pain was manageable. which im doing still-three weeks later. No longer taking the muscle relaxer. And I only took the mr like one every other day and that did the trick.

MDM...girl this is for US!!! This thread is for all the slow losers that need a place to vent. Fast/Good losers sorry we love you but this one is for US :-))

Oh ok. Yeah it sounds to me like your doing EVRRYTHING right.

Oh sorry-smh is short for Shaking My Head

Sucks. Well im HOPING my weight loss kicks in once im done with P.T. My last session is supposed to be Friday...then LA Fitness here I come. So hey if your nut thinks your exercising too much...does he/she say your your fetting too little, too much calories?

Oh wow smh... Well what if anything are they suggesting to you?

Everybody..all at once: hiiii artsongggg!!! Just kidding :-) I fancy myself a comediam :-/ Soo glad im not the only one. But MAN!!! You make.my situation sound better when you add the 900/per pound part in there. OMG. So your insurance wouldnt pay huh? That blows! You doing ok with protein/exercise?

Yay!! Ok ill start...i was sleeved Oct 17 2012. I lost 20 lbs pre op. Lost 3 lbs by my 1 week post op visit which was aprx Oct 24th. As of today im a whoppingggg 5 lbs post op!! Whompp whomppppp lol. I eat good, get my protein in, vitamins in. I do NOT however get good exercise in. Because (im told) ive had 3 surgerys in same incision area I am still experiencing pains/pulling in major incision area. Surgeon says I had lots of scar tissue to heal. Just started physical therapy. But anything strenous hyrts like hell so ive just been taking it easy. I am praying n hoping once I DO start exercising-ill start losing. But in meantime......THIS SUCKS!!!!!!

I know youve heard this before but without the sleeve....do u think u wouldve at any given time have lost 40lbs in 3 months?!! Girllll celebrate your success!!! Youre doing awesome. Im 2 months post op and have only lost 5 lbs post op o_O but im still positive :-))

Newgrandmother....looking GOOD there lady!!!

Started our new thread mdm!

MDM! GIRL! If yoy dont STOP!!! lolbvbs. Im in a "going on 3 month stall"!!! I havent lost a damn POUND since 1 week post op. And I KNOW im doing everything right! So if I can laugh this **** off and keep it moving than SO CAN YOU!!!! Maybe we should start our own forum called "F&$# this sleeve"!!!!!!! And we all get on there and fuss about out non successes lol. Im lol-ing but this id just to get you to laugh! Our time will come honey we just have to be patient and stop obsessing about everyone elses. Im forreal tho....dont leave me here with all these stupid Losers! (jk I love yall) #teamslowlosers!!!!"

Exactly!!!! lol

Girllll my mom-same thing!!! lolbsmh. Ill be honest I didnt tell her. When she asks why am I not eating or why am I not eating much I just tell her I am on a diet. And leave it at that.

Oh boy. This sucks. Well im no expert but i do know (from experience) that it takes TWO to make a marriage work. But with your new life change id say right now you need to work on YOU. You had this surgery for a reason. You want to be healthty and happy! So maybe start with the healthy and focus on that goal since he is not on board right now. Get yourself right and healthy. To me your health is and should be most important. Maybe hell come around in the meantime. But as my mom used to say "you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink". So you just gotta do you girl.

Oh man, mknmore! Im sorry you are feeling this way. This site is very supportive but to be honest I myself think you need to seek out professional counseling. I mean, this IS your marriage at stake. You both need to sit and really get out in open your issues and maybe you cam work thru them. Soooo many marriages end because of lack of communication. Id hate for that to happen to you. Is counseling an option for you all?

Uh oh lol. Susan has spoken. Im out! Good luck buttrfli and everyone else :-)

Amen sister!

No! Because theyd get popped! But its easy to be a jerk online.

Sure! Here they come!

LMBO!!!!!

Its a way to be supportive without being outright mean and rude. Hey buttrfli...i have some info on foods to eat at different stages and how much.protein is in those foods. You have an email I can send them to u? Its stages 1-4 from my doc. Im surprised your surgeon or nutritionist hasnt given u something similiar...

Great forum
