I agree with the above statements research everything and consider your health issues as well as speak with your surgeon. Acid reflex as well as my other heath issues involving diabetics 2 , high blood pressure factured in my choice. I am now off all diabetic medications after only being 15 days post opt. Good luck with your choice and congrats on your choice t be healthy.

I really would not stock up on too much of anything because your taste will changes, after surgery, I have wasted so much money on sugar free pop sickles, pudding, protein drinks as well as unjury that I am now giving them away to my nieces and nephews, trust me you will get sick of chicken and beef broth and i am only 16 days post opt. I would buy some chicken broth or make your own from chicken, chicken breast, sugarfree pop sickles / jello. and sugar free applesauce but dont buy to much you already have eggs and your going to need that as well. Good luck.And peanut butter is good for you.

My hubby just bought me these they were on sale at Mjeier for 3 for $5.00 to give me a different protein taste.

LOL ask your surgeon does he use a drain, how long is your expected stay in the hospital, how does he feel about your selection of procedure is it the best one for you. What support does his program offer. Good luck.

It sounds like you have a great support system with your family and friends , you are doing good and making good choices, this is a learning experience that is positive because you are learning about you as well as getting healthy everyday. Congrats on your choice to be healthy.Keep up the great work my friend.

Hi I agree with the above statements as long as you are following your doctors orders and drinking you will be fine, I am 15 days post opt and I was taking in between 300 -400 calories per day, I have not been tired and besides a little back pain I feel great. Good luck and as always if you still are concern contact your doctor.

Remember my friend that although the scale is not moving as long as you are following your doctors orders you will loose, also you may be losing inches not weight, stay focus and positive and take one day at a time, please remember you did not gain weight all overnight and you will not loose it overnight. Good luck.

Hi is it possible that you can make an appointment with your primary doctor and get a referral for a bariatric doctor? Are you willing to sleeve if you can be converted over to the sleeve or bypass?Sending you prayers and please look into this with your doctor and good luck my friend.

I agree with the above statements listen to your doctor and trust me although your food choices changes you still can not eat a lot, 1 cup of applesauce lasted me a week. your stomach is so small and I agree make sure you watch what you eat and remember to chew t least 30 times i learned the hard way as well one day i chewed my chicken so well I had no problems , today I ate the same chicken and didnt chew a piece well enough and I experience pain, leading me to puke sorry TMI but once that happened I felt better , it was just a reminder to chew chew and chew. good luck.

My journey I was told by my surgeon that that is common after surgery it's a side affect.

Hi I started my vitamins day 4 after I had my surgery am now 13 days post opt feeling great with the exception of back pain.

Heating pad that's what my surgeon gave me heating pads for my incision sites.

From start to finish 9 months but so well worth it.
