Hi Melissa, I think it is probably a pulled muscle too but it wouldnt hurt to call your doctor and get his opinion. God Bless Earline

Hi there, yes I think you just pulled a muscle. I hear everyone talk about their side hurting. I know mine did at one point. and I was about to run to the docs. but It soon went away by it self. Hang in there you are doing great. ~*~Hugs~*~

Melissa, We all feel as if we are the same weight as before our surgery. It takes time for our brain to catch up, we did not have brain surgery. I'm almost 13 months post-op and I still feel fat and I've lost 200 lbs+. I know in my heart that I'm doing okay, but not in the mirrors. Take it one day at a time. God Bless.

HI!!I THINK WE ALL GO THROUGH THAT. WE MAY FOR THE FIRST TIME REALIZE HOW BIG WE REALLY ARE. ESPECIALLY KNOWING WHAT WE HAD TO GO THROUGH TO START TO LOSE THE FAT. IT WILL COME OFF. I AM 3 MONTHS OUT AND DOWN 61 POUNDS. GOD BLESS YOU IN YOUR NEW LIFE. DEB C

Darling, you did not gain the weight over night and you are certainly not gooing to lose it over night. Just relax.

Melissa, About your post today (5-27) about worring if you are not losing. I have cried many a tear thinking that I was the one who will never lose. I'm a slow loser and I have had issues from day one thinking I will not lose another pound since I fight to get every one off. Guess what? I have lost and you will too. Slow or not it will come off if you give yourself and your body time. Hang in there. ~Sidney~ Open RNY 10-23-02 down 90+

Don't sweat it right now- you are going to lose weight at first, just make sure yo keep eat good food and drink, drink, and drink more water and you'll have no problems. Let us know how much you've lost after your appointment.

Hi Melissa my same day surgery buddy. I've been having the same problem with fluids. My NP told me the ame thing about being readmitted to the hospital for dehydration. Plus they say we may not lose as quickly our body is fighting to hang onto the surgery fluids. The popsicles go down so easily that I am thinking of getting one of those hawaiian ice machines. I have found that drinking the water warm makes it go down much easier.Good luck!

Dear Melissa, Sugar Free Popsicles are great to keep that fluid moving into you. I was constantly sucking on one of them those first few weeks. Take care and follow the rules and may you be blessed with ultimate success. Hugs and blessings Janice 353/153

Melissa - Try sugar free popsicles. Also, I heard someone that had the same problem and they set a timer to go off every 10 minutes. They took a sip of drink when the timer went off and it really helped increase their fluids. Good luck.
