This is so nice! Thank You! Please pray for me as I am 3.5 weeks post op. I need daily prayers to continue to eat well and exercise. I am ready to be a new version of myself, but that doesn't mean I don't have bad days. Thanks again!!!

Good for you for taking up for yourself! I haven't dealt with anything like this, but stand your ground! They don't know what a struggle you have had with weight loss, and then the journey you had to get the sleeve. I am sure you did a lot of thinking before hand, and it isn't an easy decision to make. It wasn't for me. I was giving up one of my best friends....FOOD! But I knew I had to do it for me. Not anyone else. Sure I want to live a long life with my husband, but in the end, you do it for you! I am proud of you and everyone else on BP. We all have faced something that the rest of the world doesn't understand. They have no right to criticize us for our decisions.

You look great! Congratulations!!!

Wow! You look great!

I wasn't too scared, but it really was easier and less painful than I thought it would be. My biggest pain was gas in my chest. Make sure you have some gas-x strips at the hospital. Also walk as much as you can. Those things helped me a lot! I didn't have any regrets but I have found myself missing food. Especially during pms. That was some of my biggest eating times. I am still getting use to all the noises my new stomach sounds!

5 weeks from start of pre-op. Down 40 pounds.

Hope that you are doing good after your surgery today!!!

Yes!! I am sure it is because I don't ever make it to 64 oZ's a day. I usually get half of that no matter how hard I try.

3 weeks Post Op and no, I do not eat my workout calories. I try to get between 500 and 700 calories a day. I struggle to get above 400 most days though.

I'm in!! Starting weight today is 270.4. My goal is to exercise 5 times a week for at least 30 mins at a time. So I'll set this goal for three hours a week to push myself. Going to set my Goal weight at 250. I am 3 weeks post op.

Same here. I was sleeved 12/7 and I still have loud noises. It is so weird!

Oh gosh, where do I start? Since I was just sleeved 12/7, my main goal is to continue to lose weight. I am beginning to get more active, but a resolution is to become more and more active. I want to start hiking, which I have never been able to do. I live close to a State Forest and would love to visit there a whole lot more and do walking and hiking there. My non weight goal, is to be a better person, and become more spiritual. Become closer to God. Also, possibly go back to school and get a second Accounting degree. Still pondering this one though ) Good luck to everyone!!!

270.8. Thanks again Steph!

Dr. A was wonderful for my surgery. I healed really quick and I am doing great. 3 weeks out today!!

Well I am finally here in Tijuana after a long day of flying from Kentucky. I am here at the Bariatric Pal House. It is very nice! Me and my husband are the only two here tonight so we have it all to ourselves. My surgery is at 2pm local time tomorrow. Please send positive thoughts and prayers my way. I can't believe I am so close to my new life! It is very exciting. )

You can buy the Premier Protein shakes at Walmart or Cosco. We buy the Unjury and soups straight from the Unjury website, MyBariatricPantry.com or even the store here on BariatricPal.com. Hopefully this helps. ????????????

LMBO! Just as Phat2016 stated, I now need to get more panties as mom use to say wear your good ones outside in case you get in an accident, I would hate for the doctor to see what I'm wearing now. I just keep holding out before I buy new ones. lol! Here's hoping I don't get in an accident.

Great Christmas walk today!!!

Merry Christmas Sweetie!!!!!!

I am 16 days post op and I had this problem too. Although it is better, I am still having trouble getting enough. I just get full so easy, and don't feel like trying to force Water down. Good luck, and I hope it improves soon!!

which fibre brands r u buying? Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk I am taking just some OTC fiber pills and am starting some powder fiber to put in my food today.

~Your underwear that once barely made it to your belly button and always rolled down, now almost fits all the way up under your boobs!! ~Your co-workers start calling you "skinny" even though you are still far from it. Just the change in you has them calling you that ~Had to buy a belt for my jeans ~Shirts that were once too short now come down and hide my belly.

So I was doing awesome and then the severe constipation hit. Do me a favor sleevers......take as much fiber supplements as you can. This has been horrible!!!
