I have a question...I had my surgery April 05/2010, My incisions are healing  except for  two incisions that has ( fishline looking nylon string coming out of my incisions.. ) I'm wondering if this is the string they used to stitch me up on the inside..?? it's like  1mm long.. My doctor told me, the all they used stitches that are desolvable  and they also applied liquid glue to the area to keep intacted.. it's kinda bugging me... that there is nylon string coming out of my incision area..It's not life threating.. but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this... I will address it to my doctor at my next doctor's appointment. 

Yes!!!! I dropped two dress sizes.. and now can fit into a pair of jeans that I never thought I could ever fit into again!! I am so glad that I saved these favorite jeans of mine!!!!

That pretty much explains it.. I'm one month out today, since I've been sleeved. So far life is treating me good! It sure has been a learning experience... I'm pretty excited too, cause yesterday went on the scale and I was 242. so that's 36 lbs lost!! I have never ever in my life lost this much weight in this short amount of time.. I still have alot to go on this journey of mine..It's AWESOME! I love it.. God has given me a chance to live my life in the way he wants me to live and that is to be healthy!!!!

I've developed foot pain... I don't know if it's from my walks or what.. I have pain in my right heel and it hurts.. I hope I can go on a walk today, I don't want to skip out on my daily walks, maybe I can wear somethings that has more cushion today....

I'm currently at 244 lbs.. I can't seem to get the scale to budge.. I've been going on a 2 mile walk every other day.. and 1 mile on the days I don't do 2 miles. Do I need to consume more calories.. Right now,, I'm eating only around 800 cals a day. This is fustrating... ugh!

Has anyone experienced a tension headache... I'm 3 weeks out and experiencing my first tension headache and was wondering if I can take anything for it... ?

any suggestions is helpful at this point..?

This morning I got on the scale as I do every morning and I noticed that I finally broke my "pause or what people call it a stall". I was two pounds lighter finally after a week on not moving on the scale. The only different thing that I did yesterday was eat a boiled egg for lunch since I was craving eggs...and some salmon (cooked) I don't dare eat it raw yet...and for dinner I had a 2 oz of baby food ham and gravy.. I tell you those things are disguisting, no wonder babies don't like to eat em'... but I'm trying to eat more protein cause I don't feel, I'm not getting enough protein, I'm drinking one bottle of Isopure a day, if I'm lucky... I'll try the EAS protein shake if I can get it down... The last time I drank that stuff.. I almost threw up...Talk about Nasty!!! Nasty! Nasty.

Yesterday I went and saw Dr. Khayat and he told me that I was doing great.. He loved my progress on my weightloss. He told me that my labs came back fantastic and Keep up the great job. I had a concern and told him that  I walked a mile and half the day before and my abs were hurting like crazy.. He checked to see if I had a hernia and he said, my incisions looked great... No hernia.. (yeah! ) and the most likey the pain was from my stomach muscles healing and tightening.. Overall, he was very pleased.. I have to continue taking my proteins and consume 800 cal/ day. I'll see him in 3 months.
