Thank you @@edie091371 I'm learning to be easier on myself. I'm glad you had a good day. I only got 30grams of protein in but all my water. Tomorrow wil be better for the both of us. We just have to remember that this is a process and practice makes perfect. I know exactly what you mean this forum has been a blessing. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

Thank you. As much as I don't want to admit it I think my husband is right lol. I'm glad you had a great day Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

Hey everyone I had my 3 week follow up today, my surgeon was so happy with my numbers today. I have lost 20 pounds since my surgery date and finally had my staples removed (ouch). Incision sites are a little sore but he says I'm healing beautifully. I was bummed out when I seen I had only lost 20 pounds but seeing how happy the surgeon was made me rethink my mentality. My husband says I'm too hard on myself. Maybe I am. All I know is I'm happy if the surgeon is happy. Only bad part about the appt was I'm still in the liquid phase for another 2 weeks but after today I know if I can do it for 3 weeks, I can do another 2. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day, and for anyone who had a follow up today I hope it was great! Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

Looking for advice and any tips anyone is willing to give. I'm post op 10/7/15 and would appreciate any tips or advice or even a friend going thru this journey themselves.

I'm having a bad day today too!! Didn''t get enough water & protein in yesterday, so headache & no energy today! Trying to make up for it today but it isn't easy! Sending you hugs & hopefully tomorrow will be better!I had my first headache today. It was horrible. Hope you feel better. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

I've been moody today too. Just cry you might feel better. I just try to remember the emotions are going to pass and later or tomorrow will be a new day to start fresh. Everyday is going to be different and we are going to have some hard days mine was yesterday I was so moody and mean but I had reason I hadn't eaten anything in 8 hours. Just know you're not alone! Hope later is better Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

I was getting the pulling sensation maybe 4 or 5 days post op I'm 3 weeks post op today and haven't had the pulling sensation in 2 day. I think it may be the way we get up. My incisions got achy after a productive day I think it's from all the movement. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

I track but not on myfitnesspal I would love exercise tips though! I usually use the treadmill at the gym at an incline fast walking. I've tried a few different machines to work my legs but that's it Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

Great me too. I think a buddy is great. Do you have a facebook or anything like that? Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

Hope you're able to relax and feel better Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

I haven't tried juice but I have tried the chewables from bariatric advantage they are these gigantic chalky chews and I don't really care for them. The capsules from bariatric advantage are a lil big but you are able to swallow them. I prefer the capsule because the chewable is really chalky and not too great in the flavor department. Hope this helped. My surgeon's office gave me a sample of the chewable before I bought any vitamins Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

Thank you everyone for the tips. I have an unflavored Protein from trader joes. I'm going to have to start adding that to flavored waters or broths. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

So any tips are welcome!!! I'm having an issue getting Water and Protein in. I can manage one or the other but then one gets left out. I know both are crucial so any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

I understand completely about being private only a few people know about my surgery, most of my family doesn't know and that's how I prefer to have it. I went back to school 3 days post op. It's hard but do-able. Best of luck on your recovery Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk Only my husband knows so I'm with you on keeping it quiet. And I had surgery on October 19th and I'm needing to take naps still. I get very tired. It's great you're able to return to school 3 days post-op. I hope you're finding time to rest too. If these posts have taught me anything about this process, it's that recovery is unique to each person. I suppose the best we all can do is learn to listen to our bodies. I know I never used to, which is part of the reason I needed bypass in the first place. I'm so excited for this journey now though. I'm amazed at how much happier I feel already! When I first came home I had pain but it was manageable. The downfall for me was emotions. I would cry over small things and I just couldn't understand it because I'm not a crier. I think after surgery my body just felt vulnerable and I had to learn how to cope with that. I'm better now but I think being on shakes only has really tested the little bit of patience I do have. But I just try to see the silver lining in all of this and remember this is only temporary and I wanted this. The journey and all the obstacles I endure now will just benefit and reward me later.

@@thisfathasgot2go I guess being happy with any weight loss is where my head should be. Great job on the 40lbs. Keep it up. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

Just curious because it seems like a lot of you guys have jp drains. I don't is there any particular reason some do? Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

Quick question I've seen a few people post about unjury protein powder and I was wondering if they are available in store or only online? Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

I'm 12 days post op and had my first weigh in since surgery on Saturday 10/17 (10 days post op) and I'm down 14lbs. I wasn't happy at first but I realize that I need to learn to appreciate any weight loss and need to quit letting the scale intimidate me or make me feel bad. I am more than a number and that number does not define me! Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk
