jotate 6 Posted July 16, 2013 Hey! Mine was the 9th too - I am feeling awesome' date=' I posted on page 16 bout it - super long, so I wont write it again lol. Recently I noticed yellow bruising on my incision sites, which means they are healing well, thank goodness! I know that the worst is over, and the best is coming. Pain is like a 2, but I tried driving and it wasnt too bad, defininitely doable! I am still on the full liquids for 1 more wk, but Ive been experimenting with small amts of rice, bread (HUGE mistake, dont eat bread so soon!!), and pudding, and so far so good! I know we will be alright jotate! How are you feeling? How is your pain level? Have you tried driving yet??[/quote'] I'm doing pretty good myself. My incisions look much smaller & the bruising is yellowing. I see my surgeon on Wed so I'm excited to see what he says about my progression. I think I've "cheated" a bit with food, though. I've had cream of wheat & mashed potatoes!! God they were delicious!! Lol I felt fine, though. I still need to be on liquids for one more week ????. No constipation- I'm actually really regular without taking Fiber. I've stopped taking my pain medicine, only a little of the nausea meds when I need them. I feel full of energy & find myself pacing a lot. Weird. I'd also say my pain level is 1-2....depends on the day. Keep me posted & keep up the good work....we'll get there soon ???? 3 sheilsy, nmck and kw2walker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

butterfly984 2 Posted July 16, 2013 July 27th . Band to sleeve revision. I am going to Mexico. Would anyone consider doing a July Sleevers Facebook group? It would probably help to keep in touch with people who are sleeved around the same time. 1 SkinnyScrapper reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

butterfly984 2 Posted July 16, 2013 there already is one. I am interested in joining if you are open to new members Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nmck 68 Posted July 16, 2013 Just search July Sleevers on FB and the group will pop up. Request admission! I'm leary to join a Facebook group that's visible b/c hardly anyone knows about my surgery yet. I will tell later, I'm sure, but I am just not ready to share it generally yet.
