I have sneezed a bunch!! I start breathing really deep and it helps them go away. Idk lol

Thank you!!

Curious, do any of y'all have left side pain? My doctor told me right before he took me back that I would have left side pain for a while because its the biggest incision and it would be stitched down to a muscle. That incision is still sunk in and my side hurts. It's day 11 and I thought it would be over by now. Any one else??

Sleeved the 6/19/13 and my left side is still hurting. I see my doctor on the 3rd for my 2 week check up. He told me right before I went back for surgery that I would have discomfort in my left side for a while and it is normal because its the biggest incision and they stitch it down to my muscle. The stitch should break after a few weeks. That one incision in sunk in. It hurts! I am ready for the stitch to break and my tummy to level out. I think I will call tomorrow to just confirm the pain lasting this long.

I think I'm going to try some fresh ginger in some broth. I had some today at a Thai restaurant and it was soooo good. Isn't is funny how we get a thrill out of different Soups. Lol I never thought I would really do this. I pray we both are very successful and can get healthy!! Where are you from? I'm in Denton, Tx.

Absolutely beautiful!! You go girl!!

So I bought a size 12, just got home and for the heck of it tried it on. The sucker almost fits. Maybe I should have gone with a 10!

Day 10: I've been at the mall all day. I purchased some Thai broth from a food place in the mall and it was awesome!! I also purchased a size 12 dress with hopes of getting into it in mid August for a wedding. I'm a 16/18 now so it's doable! How is everyone? I'm having zero problems drinking. My left side is still sore but I know that's expected until the inside stitch breaks.

I just bought a goal dress at Ross (so I didn't spend much) in hopes of wearing it in August to a wedding. I found a blog where this girl had goal dresses and it motivated her to workout. I'm going to give it a try!!

I haven't had any trouble drinking. But I'm further out than you. Just take it slow and try Gatorade. I had horrible hiccups the first week but they are gone now. Wait until you sneeze Also, I know this is tmi but we are all in the same boat. I didn't go #2 for 8 days. I finally mixed some miralax with my drink and the next day I went. Now it's all diarrhea. Everything I've read says that's normal because we are only drinking liquids.

If you ever have questions just call! They are open to any questions.

What day was your surgery?

I'm a teacher in little elm. Not far from you at all!

Same doctor!! Dr. Nick is the best! That man is soooo knowledgeable!

Hey, I'm in Denton. Where are you?

It was good! A little sweet. Next time I may try pickle juice to help with leg cramps.

My doctor said I can have any soup I want as long as its diluted and ran through a strainer. It must be a liquid. Milk shake consistency would be to thick. I usually mix one and half can full of skim milk and the other half with water. It's no thicker than the protein drink I get and it goes right through a strainer. I feel very confident in my doctor. He is extremely popular and has over 5,000 sleeves under his belt. If I ever have a question I call his office and they are wonderful. I'm on day 10. I purchased my strainer at Walmart. It's the one with the smallest holes. I would compare it to the screens on your window. June 5 pre-op diet 203 Sleeve June 19 187 Today 179

TX heat is brutal! Enjoying a sugar free snow cone!!

I had a weird feeling in my stomach the first couple of days and I wasn't sure if it was hunger. I was sleeved the 19th too and I don't feel any hunger. It's so odd! It's a chore to eat now and no longer what I think about. For me this is a blessing.

You will make it! It's so hard the first 3 days. I'm day 9 and I walked to mall, went to the movies, and played with my 3 year old outside.

Just a metal mesh one with the tiny tiny holes.
