I'm like this now too and only 1 month post. It's the iron changes in your body... totally normal. Hubby thinks I'm losing it lol. Chewed him out last night for changing the thermastat haha

I'm assuming it's from healing and he nerves and such healing back up, but I wanna hear someone else tell me that lol. Below my large incision, beside the belly button area I am having "knife cutting pains" like someone is slicing me. I am 3 weeks post op. My large incision is already healed and bandage off. Is this from all the muscle they went through and nerves they severed to get my stomach out? Also the skin is numb-ish. I can feel sensation however not normal feeling.

187 still this week... IV therapy put on some ponds is week

I'm there now... wendys chili is definitely my friend this week!!

Our memory is a adjustable, my hubby sucked it up for he first few days and slept in the upright position with me. I'm almost 3 weeks post op and it's been laying flat for over a week and I can sleep on my tummy again. It's not always the most comfortable when moving but u learn to "hold" your stomach when u move. I don't think thay buying a recliner for a couple of days is necessary. I would go to Walmart and by one of the pillows that have the arms and u can sit up with them would work the same.

Same here.... only my immediate family and 2 close friends know. We have a small circle of friends that we see alot when school is in session so my loss will be a big shocker to many come august but I will worry with that then. I didn't want people judging and can stand to here "oooohhhh"

Mine said 75% of my excess weight by end of 12 month

I would call your doc but sounds like a spasm to me. Remember what agrees with u today may not tomorrow but at again the next day

Mine is week 1 clear fluids Week 2 full fluids Week 3 pureed (am there now but can't handle it so still doing mostly liquids) Week 4 soft meets Week 5 more meats Week 6+ try a new food each day

If u love him and he loves u (big or small) that's all that matters. Her opinion isn't worth a dime. And u don't need her approval. My MIL isn't the most supportive either, but my husband is the best and neither of us care what she thinks. I wasn't even going to tell her but the hubby let it slip. Focus on yourself, and building your new relationship with your bf. Your relationship is going to change because of your surgery, so that's what u need to focus on. None of her negativity good luck

I was a diet Mt dew addict. HAD to have it...still want one badly... I'm 2 weeks out. The other night my family went out to dinner... and there I was drinking water. I started feeling nauseous from all the smells. Took a sip of the hubby's Pepsi and it made me feel better... it's truly an addiction! We need interventions lol

I'm 2 weeks out yesterday and I'm down 16 pounds. Down 36 pounds since I started my journey in april

187 today for weigh in

starts tomorrow. Weigh ins are every Monday

My insurance requires 3 nutritional visits 30 days apart plus extra things as well, but the nut visits hold up the longest. My first nut appt was beginning of April and I had surgery June 29th

I got denied through cigar as well on first attempt. Said they didn't have all the proper paperwork. Dr office resubmitted the same day they got the denial and it was approved the following day. Funny thing js she submitted everything the same as she previously did. I think it's just laziness on cignas part. Glad u got your approval

I'm 12 days post op. I had my surgery on Monday and by Thursday I was up cooking meals and doing my normal errands and such. I'm a SAHM of 3 small kids. I have round the clock help thanks to my high school aged sisters. I know I over did it the first week but this week I am SO tired! I just want to lay in bed all day. Yesterday I slept 11 hours at night and had a 3 hour nap then turned around and slept 11 more hours last night (very restless though). Got out of bed at 930 and here I am at nap time at 130 laying down again to "rest/nap". I know rest I'd part of the healing process but is this excessive? ? I have never been this tired before. I know I'm not getting all of my protein in. But I am trying everyday to get more then the last. Today I should be set on track at 52g.

I'm excited....my lowest weight in the last 10 years was 177 ND that was after i had my son and was sick the entire pregnancy due to gall bladder. I quickly gained everything back after i had it removed. I'm only 12 ponds away from that right now

The shot does cause weight gain... i truly believe that's what started my biggest weight issues as a teen.

I'm in.... current weight 189....goal 164. I just had my sleeve done and am 12 days post op. This will be a great pusher for me as i start introducing foods soon. Thanks!!

I started my journey at a low bmi... just barely insurance acceptable at 223 and 5 foot 2 and 1/4. My pre op final weight was 203 and today 12 days out i am 189. I told my doc on my in inital visit that I wanted my goal at 150. I can't remember being 150 ever! Well maybe in the 5th grade when I was the "fat girl " I've since revised that to 130. By ideal weight by medical standards is 128. I can't picture myself that small but I'm shooting for 130 but I won't be disappointed if I don't quite make it there.

Mine was put in and taken out while I was under.... they told me they were doing it and that I'd never know... and I didn't

You should definitely talk to your doc about this. My doc does 1st week all clear liquids. Keep your docs path. Good luck
