Ever since I can remember, I have been the "fat guy". That is what I was known for. I never took my shirt off at a pool or a beach, ever! That is something I want to change though. So, my best friend who I graduated high school together has always been much slimmer, popular, girls flocked to him; I sure you get the drift. Although we have been friends for over two decades I feel he never took me seriously because of my weight. At parties, clubs, bars, social situations I was always the one who was ignored and not payed attention too. Well, he moved out of state and we see each other about twice a year. He has a very stressful job and as a result has been emotionally eating and gained a significant amount of weight. He is one of the few that know that I had my surgery and he is very supportive. We saw each other for the first time in over a year last week and guess what...drum roll.....I weigh less than him. He even made a comment on how I was flirting with the waitress at the restaurant we met at. It felt like I was in his shoes for once. It felt truly that the tables have turned.

Morning, I am 3 days post op and I’m having really bad cramping. It that normal? Also I feel really nauseous but nothing comes up except saliva . Is there anything I can do make this feeling go away...

Really??? So that’s really a thing? I’m intrigued yet mortified. Research time!

During my barium swallow I found out that I have moderate scoliosis, so... if your doc has the scan on hand, go ahead and ask them if that's something you should check out (they won't diagnose you, but can at least tell you if it's something you should see a doc about).

Hello! I did my sleeve in Costa Rica and was a great experience. Doctor was very friendly and patient with me and price is excellent there. I'll add pics soon

My official started date of pre op diet was July 13, so far down 21lbs. I'm happy my goal is to lose 10lbs in 6 days. I think I can do it with liquids and a little excercise. My doctor didn't want me to gain weight. Does anybody have a goal to reach in there Pre op diet? Or do your doctor have goal for you? Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Walking, Water and Time Stay hydrated and walk as often as you can. The motion from walking helps to move the trapped air out and promotes healing.

Well turns out it went back to its happy 104 spot a hour later and has stayed there. I can’t figure out what I ate that spiked but it went back down thank goodness. So I’m still off all the meds.

So happy you are recovering VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

I have a air fryer and I love wings so I just pop them in and cook ( no bread or anything) I make bread less pizza and I love salmon ( gets a bit pricey ) and spinach. I really need more ideas honestly but Pinterest helps a bit
