Thank you everyone ... My job is so nice that they give me all the time to heal. Since I decided a week was enough my boss is going really easy. He told me to take my time. Luckily we are slow. I work for a law firm. I will have to look into Fiber. I might need it

I was wondering if I can add a spoon of sour cream which I love lol

Hi. How much have you lost since surgery day??? I had surgery last week.

Hmmm, first day back to work. I felt great that I only took a week off. I feel like I'm hungry even though I've been sipping all day. But the growling is not in my tummy but more towards my chest? Hmm I can hear it and it's annoying. Anything I can take?

I'm one week and it's starting to hurt a little same side too. Last night it was soo itchy but today more pain. I'm back to work so it might have to do with my sitting down all morning

No nothing. I don't even know what that is?!

This worries me sooooo much... I have longggggg THICK wavy hair. I have been told that I have enough hair for 10 people. Even though I could use some hair loss, I don't want too. My hair is my everything. I am sooo sad how some say they lost about 60% of their hair. I will gooooo crazy if that happens to me. I hate the fact that I can't do nothing about it

I stayed 2 days. I would suggest you stays 2 for some reasons. 1. Get used to drinking just liquids. It will be hard going home right the next day and you will be head hungry. I took about 5 good days for me to realize that I can't have food. 2. The pain is bad the first 2 days. Why not have someone take care of you. 3. You will be relaxed. Good luck to you. My sister had this last march and she stayed 4 days because she could not drink her liquids.

I didn't have to a pre op diet. I was allowed to eat until 11:59PM the day before surgery. What did I eat? Well it was my brothers engagement party so lots of food. Last time I are was 9:30PM and I had pasta, eggplant, bread and coke. Lol .. But every doctor is different. Follow his diet or he might not do ur surgery

Don't worry. Don't panic. You will be okay. Praying for you. Please keep us updated. Much love from NJ

Since it's cold and snowy in nj I might just want to go to Florida haha... And you are welcome. You are just one sweet lady. Have a wonderful night

You are becoming my favorite person here. I thought I'll tell you

Yay I lost 15 as of today

Congrats you will do just fine don't worry. Think about summer and all the cute clothes we get to wear. I had my surgery on Monday and I've been doing great.

Hi. We should be buddies on our progress since my surgery was December 30. Like you, I have no problem at all and I can drink anything with no problem. I hope it will continue this way once we start soli food etc. Have you lost any lbs?

I didn't have a lot I support either. I did everything on my own. And I am beyond happy. I said to everyone even if the doctor tells me I am going to die on the table I am going to do this surgery. I made up my mind. Like you, I never like someone take pics because being at 213 I felt ashamed. Sometimes you have to do things for yourself that makes you happy. Would u rather live 5 yrs, healthy and enjoying yourself or 10yrs feeling miserable and always hiding behind people so no one catches your rolls. I will chose 5yrs anytime. I had surgery 7days ago and lost about 15lbs. I am 198 now...

Yes. I had coarctation of aorta surgery in 2000 when I was just 12yrs old. I see my cardiologist every year. Was she happy that I was doing this surgery? Absolutely NOT. She have me a really hard time and was like a Mother to me. Seriously lol. Well she made me do lots of tests which took about 2 months to do...I know she cares and what's best for me. She showed my results to heart surgeons and with my condition she cleared me. It was so nice of her to come visit me at the hospital after the surgery to make sure I am ok. Ohh I had a heart monitor on me at all times during and after surgery until I left. They didn't touch my left arm since they wanted to free that arm in case any problems with my heart. I've been great and my heart is just fine. I had surgery on December 30. I will go see my cardiologist once I fully recover Hope this helps.

I'm 5'4" I started at 213... I was always 208 so idk what happen (giggling) ... Today I was 198... Yea def aim for 150-160.... I'm aiming for 140 by June of course I will workout all the time because I didn't do this surgery to lose 20lbs.. Ye please keep me posted

Slept on my right side last night. I was a little scared but had no pain at all. I couldn't really sleep last night at all and I wonder if it was my panicking of me sleeping on the right side. Every morning I wake up, I am SUPER thirsty. I have to drink something right away. I found this died low calories iced coffee in the fridge and I have a cup through out the day. I hope that's ok. I really like it and it doesn't bother me.....I wonder if I can count this as clear liquid? It's decaf too...???? Now I'm panicking... Today's plan? Taking a shower... Going to the supermarket to buy some stuff to take to work tomorrow(first day going back).. I don't even know what to take with me honestly....maybe pack my Tylenol just in case even though I haven't used it since I got home. I wanna take a long walk because of the snow I haven't been able to walk much at all. I wanna go to the mall and walk for about an hour. Like my other post, I lost 13lbs as of yesterday. Yes I lost 13lbs in 6 days and I wanna continue being active so I can lose more and more. Missing food is definitely getting easier each day. I did have an emotional breakdown yesterday because tree was rice pudding in the house (home made) and that's m favorite. What helped me? Looking at amazing pictures on this forum of people losing weight. Being able to eat good again. I am 200 as of yesterday and I really really really want to be at 140 by summer. Do you think I can do it? Working out at least 4 times a week? I didn't go to the beach or pool last summer because I felt discussed at 210lbs. I was embarrassed. This year I wanna get a sexy one piece bathing suit and go to the beach every weekend. (2hours away). For once I wanna be able to wear shorts(haven't worn them since I was 18 now I'm 25) . I wanna change my hair and just be a new healthy me. I'm tired of being shy and not go out because I feel fat. Yes I barely hangout with my cousins because I was shy how much I weighted. They won't see me for another few months and can't wait for them to see the new me ... No one knows I did this tigers besides my mom and 2 sisters and my 3 best friends. I didn't even tell my SIL which I am so close with. Don't want her to be jealous and mad at me. I said I had kidney stones and I have to lose 60lbs ASAP. She's been asking me what I'm eating these few days and I lies Soup and yogurt just so she's doesn't get suspicious. I'm only on liquids. It's my choice. I hate to lie but this was my choice and me decision. Ok I better go take that shower since I need to blow dry my hair and really wanna drive to that mall... First day out since I got home Wednesday. I miss driving my new car that my parents bought for me 3 months ago ... Yes guys I am thankful every day. Can't wait to graduate next fall and hopefully by 2015 get into law school as a sexy paralegal haha.. Ok enough I'm getting conceded. SORRY.. It's the only way I get motivated and love my pouch (sleeve) Hope you all have a wonderful day and I will check back after I come home! Muahhhhhh beautiful skinny people

You can always call the doc... I'm gonna see him for the first time on Thursday. I feel great. I would say don't worry because if something went wrong you would of known by now

How much was your starting weight? My doctor told me that I will be up to 140. I will work really hard to be between 130-140.. I'm ok with 140 but would love love love to be 130sh. Yea i will go to every pool party and to every beach invite... We will be so sexy...

Omg yay. Same day buddies.. Yea I decided not go to the mall since it's about an hour away since my mall is closed today. I'm just gonna go the supermarket and get some stuff.. My 1st post op is on Thursday. I hope I lose another 5lbs till then have you lost anything?

Like I said, I had something on day 4 which was a little piece of dessert. I freaked out but I am fine. Yes I thought I messed up my sleeve and I will have a leak. I did some search and you will know if you have a leak. Fever, lots of pain, swollen etc. I didn't get sick either and it did not bother me at all. Will I do it again? NEVER.. Since then I've been following the diet to a T. Don't worry you will be okay just don't do it again just to be on the safe side

Who's your doctor? I would suggest when u go see him that you ask. When I went for the first time I sat with the coordinator and She gave me a list of requirement for out insurance. It's way shorter than that letter. Honestly it was soo easy.. And my BMI was a 37 which they require a 40 and I got approved in 8days including weekend. My doctor said this is the easiest insurance to get approved, unless, your job didn't want bariatric surgery on it... Good luck

Hmm I had horizon and I did not have to do that.
