Even if you have already had your surgery.. I want to hear from you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

When you say that, do you mean like swallowing or is it like making your stomach spasm? What's going on exactly? I had issues at first as well . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Maybe since he didn't mess with it, it was that bad. When I had my surgery. He did my sleeve and repaired a hernia that I never knew I even had and he also removed some fat from behind my left breast plate as he felt it would cause a lot of acid reflux and issues for me. Other than that it went great . I'm sure if he has any concern he will let you know. I'm sure he will monitor it! Congrats on surgery and your transformation! Can't wait to see what you do(: Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow congrats on the weight loss...my first week appointment is Thursday so I can't wait to see how much I've lost. I won't know when I start the purees until I see the doctor but girl that has not kept me from looking at some puree recipes . Have you been light headed at all? Or started all your Vitamins? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Thank you! My first week appointment is Thursday too! And noo I feel you, I have found so many recipes that I'm ready to try and share! Actually I have had to force myself to eat. I have not felt hungry at all or lightheaded . I can't lie it's been hard being in a household with a mom who is a chef and always cooking and I can't try her stuff lol. The only vitamins I have been on so far are Iron, Vitamin D and B12 since I needed those prior to surgery for being anemic . I should know more about vitamins on Thursday ! I'm excited to hear and update from you . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I totally feel your pain girl! I was sleeved on 7/5. I'm on Clear liquids only for two weeks . And then full liquids . I won't be on purees until 8/2 . I'm so excited for our journeys and how we do! We are now sleeve sisters! I'm down 17.4 pounds since surgery last Tuesday which I can't lie startled me at first because I didn't think it would be so rapid. I was so scared to cough the first day because everything was so sensitive but I noticed that applying pressure with a pillow and heating pad or ice pack made it soooo much better! You should definitely try it ! I hope you stay active on here , I'll enjoy seeing your transformation. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal AppCongrats! Glad you are doing so well! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Thank you! I finally had my first spell of nausea. But that's so small compared to how great everything else has been! They pushed up my protein intake to 60-80g so I'm working on hitting that. Other than that everything else has been awesome. I'm kind of ready to go back to work but my surgeon wants at least most of my pain to be gone . So hopefully I get to go back Wednesday . I have been walking up to a mile everyday for the past 3 days. I'm down 17.4 pounds since surgery . HW:375 DOS:356 CW:339.2 . So excited for my first beach trip in December .

Ive had a really good experience thus far and I'm so excited to see what all we do on our journeys! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Awesome! I had mine 7/5 in Nashville! How are you feeling ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Goodmorning everyone! Sending good vibes and prayers for everyone who has surgery today and this weekend! This is the best decision we could have made for ourselves . I'm now 3 days post op and so happy to be waking up in my own bed! I was able to meet my 64 Fl oz and 40 grams of protein yesterday . If you guys are looking for a good protein that will help you meet your liquid goals as well.. I would recommend Isopure as it's 20 fl oz and 40 grams of protein all in one bottle! They have pretty decent flavors and are on sale at GNC (Buy 3 get one free) . Blue raspberry is my favorite . Sorry if I'm super excited but I can't wait to see where all of us are in 3-6 months!

I brought all of that including a Word search book, phone charger, an H&M catalog, headphones, and those little sugar free single packets in different flavors. I wasn't able to drink anything for 18-20 hours after surgery so make sure you bring dental hygiene to keep your mouth moist. I also brought a journal with me and wrote down all the emotions I was feeling and that really helped me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you! I'm so happy I have made this decision . My weight on Tuesday before surgery was 350.5 and today when I was weighed I'm down to 341.6 . It was torture right after surgery because you can't have anything to drink after the surgery until The next day but I didn't have any nausea so I was thankful for that! I'm excited to see what all of us do! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well I am officially sleeved and one post op! I'm not feeling too bad. Had surgery at 3:30p yesterday and was walking around about 10:30pm last night. The pain is bearable . Doing the walking and swimming before surgery definitely made a difference in the healing process! I wish all of you guys the best we got this! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I totally agree! My mom told me about it December of 2014 and I went back and forth about it and i wanted to sincerely try to lose weight by myself and see what I could do. This is definitely going to be life changing but oh soooo awesome! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
