March 16th sleever right here!!!! I'm sooooo excited. On my way to Celebrate with my girls....It's been a hell of a process but, damn I know it will be worth it! Anybody else getting sleeved March 16th? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Thanks I'll try doing that I was thinking about drinking at home first to see how I feel and drink Water as well BariatricPal App

I am also deciding between sleeve and bypass. (Don't want a mini since they aren't common in the US). I'm pretty set on the sleeve because it can be converted later if necessary. The bypass is one and done, but what if it is more than I need? The sleeve has a pretty good weight loss to complication ratio, and I am willing to entertain the notion of a revision later. The RYN bypass is definitely "one and done". I wouldn't entertain a revision later from that. Good luck!

If it's genetic, you should expect shrinking in both areas but not total loss lol! the women in my family have big boobs and no butts. At 6 months post op, my butt is almost nonexistent but I'm happy with my boobs. They're still big and round. I went from a 36 DD to a 32G, I sometimes wear a size 30 band depending on the bra. As for the butt? I'm confident that with some butt building exercise I can get some curves back in that area!

@ newme17. Oh hell no LOL. BUT I'll support you along the way! [emoji51] Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Congratulations.. Enjoy celebrating

Thanks to those who replied to my post. It turns out I was just cutting out my pain killers too soon. Got the pain under control last night and felt so much better. Today has been my best day yet since surgery, I'm on track to meet my fluid, protein and vitamin goals! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

It wouldn't keep me logged in. It seems to be ok right now. Also, I have had issues with following posts as well.

Well, it may not seem that big of a deal but yesterday was the last day that I had to take Ursodiol (used to prevent gall stones). I am so happy that there is now one less pill (tablet) that I have to take everyday.

I've never bought any bariatric foods from here or any other place. Doing just fine and my grocery bill is tiny even feeding two adults. I don't eat much any pre-packaged/prepared foods after I realized they were part of the problem (most are crammed with fat/carbs/sodium). I cook from scratch with whole food sources about 75% of the time. Things like marinara sauce or turkey pepperoni I do buy prepared, but I get the lowest carb/highest Fiber versions, and avoid high sodium, and other questionable things. I read nutrition labels of everything. It also works to help me put things back if I'm suddenly craving them and want to buy - one look at a package containing 50 grams of carbs per serving and I can't stick that sucker back on the shelf fast enough! I buy lots of chicken and fish. We eat on a chicken drumsticks or thighs at least once a week, and I usually do them in the slow cooker so I can create broth from the fat/bones and then make a lovely Soup with it later in the week. We eat lots of veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, turnip greens and spinach, okra, brussel sprouts, (not so much of the carby veggies like carrots, potatoes, peas). eggs, milk, yogurt, cheese, Beans (kidney, black beans, pintos, great Northern), and brown rice. High fiber wheat bread on occasion. Pork rinds are a great snack substitute when I'm desperate for the crunch of chips (but eaten sparingly since they are so high in sodium). I have a very large variety of awesome recipes that are low carb, high Protein and moderate fat.
