Way easier! I was in the hospital for 3 days with my c-section and I remember being miserable for another week. With this I was pretty good by day 5.

Sorry for the spelling errors, stupid iPhone!!

You are probably fine. I have the same situation but on my left side. My doctor puts an internal stitch which causes extreme pain until the stitch dissolves. I would call your doctor to double check. My stitch dissolved 17 days after surgery.

I had to go home this plastic thing that I had to take deep breaths in every hour to prevent lung problems. Pneumonia Call your doctor. You have to stay on the safe side.

I'm loving my soft food stage! Tonight I cooked an awesome meal!! Cooked ground chicken Put a thin layer in a dish and mix spaghetti sauce with it. Put a layer of ricotta cheese, low fat mozzarella, Parmesan cheese. Back for 15 min at 400 So good!!!

Lol I'm sorry! I will remove myself from the thread. Personally I find it annoying to have to bounce from thread to thread. I enjoy getting to know a group of people and communicating about our process. Thanks for the heads up! I'll find a thread that is welcoming to any discussion.

It took me over a year to get pregnant with my daughter. I had to take fertility drugs. In my last trimester I developed high blood pressure. I was told it would go away after she was born. 3.5 years later and I'm the same weight I was when I go pregnant (203) and on blood pressure meds and feel terrible. I went to my baby doctor because we want another baby. He said, "I'm concerned you will develop gestational diabetes. You are already high risk as it is with high bp." I told him I was interested in the sleeve. He said to jump on it! I would get pregnant easier than my first and it would be a way healthier pregnancy. So, I did have the surgery to get pregnant. I'm 3 weeks and 2 days post op. I feel amazing!!! Post op 203 Surgery day 187 Now 170

I received a call. Took 4 or 5 days.

Ok three weeks out and get to start my stage 2. It says I can have canned tuna/chicken, ground meats, eggs, yogurt, applesauce, peanut butter etc Anyone else eat canned chicken 21 days out? It scares me.

I felt more of a release and then the pain was gone. It didn't hurt at all.

MENTAL HUNGER: I am trying to make it to Wednesday. I am not hungry, like AT ALL! But, I have mental hunger. I have a three year old and husband whom I have to cook for. I struggle so bad, not wanting to eat their food, but ready to eat my food! Does that makes sense? This hasn't been an issue until tonight. I get to start the mushy stage on Wednesday and I am ready. Tonight I made my husband chicken salad and it looked amazing. Another thing I have to throw out there is I am always freaked about getting a leak. Do you guys every worry about that? I am doing what I am told but it always feels weird in my mind. Is this normal? I would love some advice from those who have been through the mushy stage. What was your first meal, what worked for you and didn't. I know that we are all different and one thing may work for you that wont for me. I am just curious what your doctor considered mushy. My list shows one thing and when I called they told me another. I am just worried. Lastly, thank you for allowing me to complain and not judging me! I love my husband more than anything but I can't talk to him much about this. I don't think he cares. He cares about my health and me but I think he gets bored with this topic. I don't blame him. A person can only hear the same thing 100 times before they flip. ha!

Thanks! My stitch on the inside dissolved and I no longer have any pain. I finally get to move to mushy foods on Wednesday. I'm so excited!!

It was very nice. They did have to keep me in recovery over night because they did not have rooms. They had people that were supposed to be discharged and ended up staying another night. They have us a $50 Visa card ad Starbucks gift card for having that issue. They bought my husbands dinner and breakfast. They also installed a flat screen into the recovery room. Very clean and nice staff.

Great idea! Doing it today.
