    Anger and agitation

    It will get better! I'm 4days post op what I had for my 2 week diet was optifast liquid diet and one solid meal at lunch which I had slot of salmon chicken or tuna meat and veggies or salad. I struggled to start off as well but your changing your life for the better it will be easier I promise. I also experienced the hunger and headaches do what you need to do for those I had no breathing problems when I woke up either. Sent from my A1601 using BariatricPal mobile app

    Chronic dehydration can most certainly cause high blood pressure. It can also cause low blood pressure. Go figure. If your doctor is not worried, I would not spend too much time fretting over it. I would however be persistent about calling them if the HBP continues. Congrats on the surgery by the way!

    Pre surgery info

    You'll be on a basic liquid diet post surgery. Lots of Broth (chicken, vegetable and beef) Tomato soup. NO soups with anything in it like noodles or chunks of anything. Yogurt low fat and sugar no fruit on the bottom or mixed in plain only. Sugar free jello (cheated a little and bought some low fat cool whip topping...can't have jello without topping) Juice is fine try to find a low sugar brand and mix half and half with water don't drink it straight. Sugar free Popsicle or make your own with those packets of water sugar free flavourings. To zip up those broth soups try adding some spices...curry into the chicken or Italian into the veg some chili (not too much) into the tomato you get the drift. good luck

    Confused

    I'd say call your surgeon's office and specifically ask when they will be submitting the paperwork to insurance - they should be able to answer that pretty easily. My insurance has 15 days to respond (and they actually responded in about 9 days) so maybe yours is similar. It's possible the "month" timeframe included the time for the surgeon's office to submit and for insurance to respond. But the only way to know for sure is to call and ask. I hated calling and bugging my surgeon's office because I didn't want to be "that patient" but in hindsight I realize I could have saved myself a LOT of stress by just asking a few simple questions.

    What should my goal be?

    Sophie That is a tremendous victory. [emoji322] You must feel so much healthier and less tired than before.... not to mention how our society treats larger people ....that makes it even harder for big people to do more things.... in my view . I'm 10 years post band and a size 24 to 12. I like size 12!!! My body does too. So I basically eat protein and work out and try my best to stay that size. Best to you and congrats on hard work

    This is a really temporary thing. As you heal life becomes more normalized and food is definitely satisfying.

    Feel like giving up... -_-

    Write EVERYTHING down. Track EVERYTHING. You'll know where you're going wrong and writing everything down will make you feel accountable to yourself.

    Post-Op DIet Phases

    I know every doctor is different and every person is different but i wanted to get feedback on other peoples diet post op. I had surgery June 22 and have been on Phase 1 liquids of water, jello, broth and protein shakes. Does Week 2 start this coming Thursday June 29 and Week 3 July 6 and Week 4 July 13? I am doing just fine but I really want to move on to the next steps. Luckily I have no pains and no issues holding down water or protein shakes. Broth is something i will not do so i am just very excited to start the next phases!

    Long-term stories wanted

    I wish I could hear from some long-term Sleevers about their long-term stories. Obesity is an incurable condition still, and this surgery thankfully puts us into remission, but what happens when it rears its ugly head again? What do you do? How many folks have true long-term remission and what contributes to that success?
