For non-disposable I love the Oxo-Tot Baby Blocks 2 oz and 4oz containers. Even 2 1/2 months out, I’m still at the 4 oz stage.

I'm the 18th and SUUUUUUPER excited!

Pretty darn good. Just stick to what you are doing.

That's real supportive and understanding. Ug. Is there a book on how to be supportive when family/friend undergoes WLS? If not, this community should get together and write one.

Did you have issues prior to weight loss?

I've had gout for years. I take Tart cherry extract every day works like a charm .

Hey we’re twinsies!! I had mine the 4th too and I’ve lost 10 lbs since the surgery and I lost 15 before it! So I’m at 25 now and starting to feel great. It is def had to get enough fluids in. I sip ALL day on water and my clear protein (except when I’m going to try to have a “meal”). I drink my protein shake in the am within the first hour of getting up but I usually can only get down half of it in an hour or longer. I always go back to it later. I make sure I drink atleast 1 clear protein and 1 1/2-2 shakes and WATER all day- that will help with the constipation! Message me if you need any other help! I can help wherever I can!

Hi *Paula*! Good luck with Wegovy, I hope it is successful in helping you lose weight. Some thing that I purchased before or since surgery that I found helpful are: 1. Food Scale 2. Mini travel food processor 3. 2 oz disposable containers 4. 4 oz containers 5. Food thermos for soups, purées, soft foods or bringing food 6. Warm travel cup (with strainer) for broths 7. Blender cups for protein shakes 8. Food: based on pre op & post op diets (i.e. protein shakes, sugar-free jello, sugar-free ice pops, broths) 9. Vitamins: based on what I was told I would need post surgery (i.e. Calcium citrate, Multivitamin) 10. Measuring tape 11. Scale 12. Journal /logging/tracking supplies Good luck to you!

So far I have had good luck in revision due to weight gain. starting weight for sleeve 254 3 months out 204.5 weight loss of 50.5 ——————————— starting weight for bypass 245.5 3 months out I weigh 199 today (wooo!) weight loss 46.5 So the weight loss has been about the same but it has felt easier. I’m very glad I did the second surgery.

So I’ll be honest- I’m just three weeks out so i only had one post op visit so far. I only met him once before surgery. Otherwise I addressed concerns to dr antoine who has the most amazing bedside manner. I’m not sure if it was robotic but I will say that i had an amazing quick recovery. With a large hiatal hernia I barely needed pain meds and was back to normal a week later except for lifting. Three weeks out i can eat everything, my incisions look great and I’m lifting my twenty pound baby. Most of his patients had similar experiences. I know some practices might have more of a focus on education which I found lacking here. I did a lot if my own education
