Weight-less Beauty

"Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and expect only the best. To be enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, to strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble."

Plant the seeds of expectation in your mind; cultivate thoughts that anticipate achievement. Believe in yourself as being capable of overcoming all obstacles and weaknesses. Norman Vincent Peale

Well this morning at 4am I wasn't feeling my norm I was hurting in places that concerned me not to mention my right leg felt like it was heavier then usual and numb so my husband thought that we should go to the emergency room' while on the way there I was freaking out considering the worse blood clots,leaks,dehydration,fluid around my lungs you name it' but my husband quickly grabbed my hands and said a little prayer and off to the ER we went! Low and behold EVERYTHING WAS FINE BLOOD WORK AND ALL!!!! I was for certain that I wasn't getting enough food or liquids in so I thought "dehydration" at the least but NOTHING Dr said that my labs all look perfect, I'M so happy and blessed that everything is fine' Thank you God for your many blessing!!

If only I could get over the weird sensation in my stomach every time I swallow, I hate it!! Oh and my urge to burp every five seconds or maybe not seconds minutes... The seconds are actually held up by hiccups!!! (Lol) When will this stage go away someone . . .anyone ?

Beautiful'

Thank you!

I feel a little better I'm still a little sore but that's to be expected, I did some christmas shopping yesterday all while feeling like my stomach was going to burst but who knew that all the walking would relive gas pain and buildup.I'm 5 days out and im trying to get my fluids down but it feels like bumbles of indigestion every time I swallow "anything" its a very uncomfortable feeling. How small of a SIP are you suppose to drink? Is it my SIP portions that's causing this? Or maybe my sleeve is still too swollen to process anything? Have anyone else felt like this?

@ 1FabulousDiva thank for the worlds of encouragement, I(m with you let's do this'

I was sleeved on the 18th of December I will be leaving the hospital today # Im hoping# The first night was extremely painful I mean it was unbearable and the nurse staff couldn't seem to find an antidote for my pain I didn't get "a pain pump inserted either" ???why I don't know?? but my Dr decided to give me "Ketorolac" and Lorazapam seeing that the morphine didn't glad that this combination worked I'm feeling great #I know this is a bit of T.M.I.but I can't seem to "pass gas" my Dr keeps telling me that I have to, its just not happening...' oh well now I'm just waiting to be released by my Dr because I'm ready to go home now!
