Sleeved 6/21 -- My experience so far

I think you can click on my profile link and then read my blog entry I just made.

In short, I'm doing well... that damn muscle pain is driving me crazy, but it will pass... (as will hopefully the rest of this gas! LOL)

 Congrats! It sounds like you have a really good start. Your comment about the gas made me laugh. Probably not so much when I'm going through it next week. 

It's funny, you can laugh. I'm definitely a "laugh because crying won't help" type of person and I swear the gas thing is never ending. It seems to be worked it's way mostly out of my chest/shoulders. Now I'm just dealing with the intenstinal stuff. I thought most of it went up, but not for me! It has eased up a bit this morning, but hubby also took me to wal mart last night (we usually do Target, but our walmart isn't as busy and we felt safer that I wouldn't get knocked in the stomach). I held on to the cart and walked for about 20 minutes (okay lightly strolled). That seemed to really help get things going, an extended walk. I can't walk for long at home because I'm slightly stooped over from the tummy hurt.
