    Re: Sleeping on your side after surgery

    I would say I wasn't really totally comfortable until about a month after surgery. I can sleep any way I want now. Also, my husband is amazed by how much less of the bed I take up now! He says he...

    Re: New to forums.... new sleever

    600 calories sounds like a starvation diet to me! Your body is probably rebelling against the diet. I thought that the longer out from surgery we are and eating more solid foods the amount of...

    Re: Lap band or gastric sleeve?

    I say, "SLEEVE ALL THE WAY!"

    I had considered the lap band at one time, but after hearing about the fills that need to be done and thinking about having a device implanted into my body, I...
  8. Re: Is it Normal to Talk about your Sleeve as a person

    Some people name their cars, computers, whatever they're close to. So why not name your new stomach? Take good care of your sleeve!!!

    Re: Very Confused & Nervous!! Regrets Anyone??

    JSJ03, it will get better. The 1st month was really rough for me. I was either in pain or really, really tired! Now I feel like a whole new person.

    Re: Very Confused & Nervous!! Regrets Anyone??

    One thing to remember is each person's reaction to the surgery is slightly different. I have not thrown up 1 time (except when I had the flu) since my surgery June 29, 2011. Just stop when you're...

    Re: Approaching the one year anniversary

    Amy, I really enjoyed your letter. I had my surgery about 6 weeks after yours and have had a similar experience on the journey. It used to be so easy for the weight to fall right off, but now I...
  13. Re: I know someone who regained all the weight after gastric bypass and worried that I will be the same

    I love this topic. It is so relavent to all of us who have had or will have bariatric surgery. I personally have done very well with VSG, but the past week or so I've gained a little bit and it...
  14. Re: Help I need some Advice from my fellow sleevers!!!

    Yes, I agree with Kelly Jo that you should be fully recovered and be able to eat most things by then. I was eating (and still do sometimes) things like cottage cheese, slices of turkey lunch meat,...

    Be careful swimming if all your incisions are not entirely healed. I had one of mine get a little yucky after I went a little crazy swimming 4 days in one week. My doctor had approved it because...

    Just like with any surgery, it is tough in the beginning. It gets A LOT EASIER after the first month is over. I really felt worn out and tired for awhile after surgery, but now that I've lost 100...

    Re: Non-Scale Victories Galore! :)

    Not having to wear a seat belt extender on a plane is AWESOME! I also love how I can fit into booths at restaurants more easily. It always used to be a chore to get in and out of the seat. Keep...
