Hi everyone!! This is my first post & I'm looking for October surgery buddies. I'm very excited about the surgery. I've gotten my psych clearance, scheduled my sleep study, nutrition classes and upper endoscopy. My date is October 14th. Btw, anyone here from Jersey? Look forward to making friends w everyone!

Hi all! For those of you who have hypothyroidism like me, post surgery, have you visited your endocrinologist & had a change to your meds? Have you stopped taking them, or got a lower dosage? Thanks!

Hi all! What is the total amount of carbs I should have per day? Thx!

I'm gonna go with 'NOT A DAMN THING' for $500!

Hi all! Am I the only one who's freakin freezing after vsg?

Hi all! I have a tough time getting all my Water in. What is your opinion on the Crush water enhancers? What have you found to be a good Water Enhancer?

Lmfao...., I trusted one like 2 weeks ago... It wasn't pretty! ????????

Hello all! What have you found to be the best, long term contraceptive to use after surgery? Thank you!

Hello everyone! Let's get right into it! I was sleeves on 12/26/14 & got my period 2 weeks late on 1/15. My periods have always been on the heavier side, but I got on birth control 5 months ago & it was super light. We'll, lol... This period is seriously, from hell! It is SUPER heavy & With plenty of blood clots. Cramps are terrible and I can sit on my toilet & just feel everything come out. I called my OBGYN & they said it was normal & not to worry. However, I still made an appointment just to be sure. Are periods this heavy normal after surgery? I mean like, wear 2 pads heavy! Sorry for all the TMI ????

I was sleeved 12/26/14 but I'll definitely walk w you!

I thought to ask based on hormones and the effects different pills/patches/iud's could have on you

Ive been doing the Zico coconut water. How much do you think is okay to drink a day? The whole liter? It has 11 g of carbs & 9 g of sugar.

Hi! I also have pcos & hypothyroidism. How much weight have u lost?

Hi! Just found this post and I too have pcos & hypothyroidism. How much weight have you lost to date?

Hello all! ???? So I'm on the puréed stage and my nutritionist said I can eat anything I can eat anything I can purée. Well, I can't wait till tomorrow to call & ask her so here's my question: I seriously love Beans so I made chilli w ground turkey, vinegar peppers, & beans. I also made black beans & garbanzo Soup w 98% fat free ham steak, puréed everything. It taste soooo good I almost feel like I shouldn't be having it, lol. Is it okay to have two 6 onz of this a day?

Yes, I agree. Im going to make it just one of these. I'll confirm w my nutritionist on the amount of onz. And now that u say it, no.. I'm no where near drinking all the water I should and I am definitely going to change this so that I can. That's what I love this app. Talking to people and their experiences you learn more about what not to do. I guess that I was so focused on getting all the protein in I forgot the water

First, I love when i find your comments. You know so much, lol. I am 3 weeks out. My nutritionist says aim for 2 Protein shakes w 1/2 banana & two 6 onz puréed meals a day. Oh & the ground turkey is in the chilli & the ham is in the black bean soup.

I have no issue eating the 6 onz. I've had no problems w anything post op.

Congratulations. Yay! This is great!

I'm so happy I found this, my weight in DOS was 246 . I'm 11 days out and am 228. Seeing this gives me hope. Thank you! You look FANTASTIC!

Morning all! :-) So I've been doing everything I'm suppose to be doing up to this point. Already drinking my 3 Protein shakes a day. Can someone tell me why in the blue hell I've gained 3 lbs?!? Lol, I wasn't able to go to the bathroom but been taking Miralax for constipation but seriously, someone encourage me. Have a great week!

Thanks Everyone! Bufflehead, Elode & SuperDave ???? TaurusLady I've gotten up to my 3 shakes a day maybe 1 bottle of Water, some apple sauce & broth. Friday I can move up to mouthy stuff. I'm having a purée party that day, lol. I'm very happy to hear bout your 64 lbs. that's GREAT!! Peki31 yes! I didn't even think of that! Thank you.

Hi everyone! Sorry, for the yucky subject but a girls gotta know, lol. So I was sleeved on 12/26/14 and pooped on 12/30 and haven't pooped since. What is considered normal when it comes to pooping after surgery? Should I be concerned? Thanks!
