I'm a little over 3 weeks out. I'm going to get a damn espresso maker so it's only 2 oz of coffee at a time. lol

I don't want to be a size 4. 16 would be fine. I went to a halloween store and found a tank dress i really really want,(for everyday wear) but i have no idea what size to get it in. I'm afraid it won't be around when my body hits it's right size.

I'm 3 weeks out and i'd really like some damn watermelon...

I totally forgot to ask, i would of kept mine.

I'm not even half way done, i don't think i'm going to finish it. Lighter to show scale, lol. (No, i don't smoke.) Edit: Ehh...asparagus was prolly a bad choice, i have to chew it forever.

I had complications with Vitamin K because i was on the diet for longer than expected. It helps your blood clot and is found in veggies. I was on the pre op diet 10 days, then was told to stop because the surgeon had a family emergency. I had food for a week, then went back to the diet for another 2. I had to be put on plasma before the surgery...aaaand i broke out into hives. So the surgery was delayed 2 days. They also wouldn't let me leave the hospital without an IV of vitamin k in me. I suggest just following it to a T, lol.

I'm 3 weeks out today. I just upgraded to soft mushy food. I've lost 2 lbs since surgery. Anyone else have this problem? I lost 20 lbs with the pre op diet. I was on a week of liquids, and 2 of puree. I can eat maybe 2 oz depending on what the food is. I am just crazy frustrated. I feel like something is wrong. I've already seen my surgeon, and i see him again at the end of the month. I feel like the scale won't move by the next time i see him.

I actually am having a problem getting in all the fluids along with Protein and eating. I'm not even sure how many times a day i'm supposed to eat. Thanks to my nut that never calls, it's like shes forgotten about me. She expects me to remember everything she told me 6 months ago when i first saw her. (Yes i did leave her a message today.) I'm picking up one of those big poland spring bottles and trying to finish that in a day.

My nut isn't even calling me. I just have the booklet to go by. It says: Soft or pureed vegetables, well cooked. That's it. :\

Oh, i am on it still. Crushing the pills makes me want to throw up. I stopped it for a few days. I guess ill just have to keep taking them.

I feel a little acid at the back of my throat. My hiatial hernia was fixed, i'm confused. Maybe 21 days isnt long enough to heal? Also, having problems getting in fluids, protein and food. One is always lacking, and it's fluids. Well, and food. I only eat two or three times a day.

I was told it was the reason i had acid. The muscles connecting my esophagus and stomach were letting the contents of my stomach come back up.

Cottage cheese! Small curds, you can chew that, lol.

I bought some sports wraps. I'm about 3 weeks out so i can't really use them yet but i wanted to have something. http://www.mcdavidusa.com, i got this brand at Sports Authority, opened the packages in the store to make sure they fit over my fat arms and thighs, lol.

I thought the other half stayed in there? Hell, i don't know anymore, lol.

Over the past 2-3 days i've been experiencing sharp pain on my right side. It's located near an incision, but theres no pain to the touch or redness. The pain can come at anytime, i can be sitting up, or leaning back, or getting out of a chair, or walking. (TMI ALERT) I haven't been doing my regular walking actually, also a little constipated. I can go to the bathroom, it just seems like it's not a "normal" amount. Then again i'm on puree for a few more days. Could this be gas pain? It's not like the muscle pain i get when sitting up, just using my stomach muscles. It's kinda worrying me since i woke up and it took me a bit to sit up before i said "screw this" and pushed through the pain.

Ooooh i love you people! I've been so paranoid. I didn't have it until a few days ago. I need that book!

http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/92717-3-weeks-out-sharp-pain/ I can press on the area and it won't hurt. I'm confused. I'm also scared/paranoid, i got dressed. I'd really like to go back to bed though.

I have been checking my temp, all seems fine at the moment. Edit: Also..i seem to have gas this morning.. If i try to push, and pass it, the pain comes back. Hmm. Maybe i'm being paranoid.

Then i get mushy stuffs. I'm healing well i think. I bought some Mederma because one of the wounds looks like it's going to be a huge scar. Constipation has started, woot woot. I'm still having pain using my stomach muscles. (Sitting up) I also have pain in a new place. It's by an incision but its not coming from it. It's not red or irritated. It seems to happen when i stand or sit.

I also have depression and social anxiety. They just need to know that you understand the surgery, the changes you need to go through for this to happen, and that you can stick to all the requirements. You'll be fine!

Hang in there. It will be worth it.

I thought this was highschool with all the pet names...
