well for having my surgery exactly 2 weeks ago i have lost 17lbs from surgery alone

My husband is into fitness and if u have a belly your over weight...muscle mass in arms, legs etc does not count...cause the problems are all in the belly area..your HBP and sleep apnea is proof there...i struggled to do it too cause im petite but like u my health conditions showed i needed it...2 weeks out most of my problems are gone!

Hey every 3/21 here...find ur food temp...before i loved ice cold water etc after surgery NOPE has to be real hot and goes down smooth go figure...drink from a sippie cup to guide u on how much to drink...i still do...as for protein...its the first thing i drink as soon as i get up...my protein shakes...hot!

Hello everyone...well today is my offical two week postop...i promised numbers and get to that in a second..but let me give u an update on my pain i recently been having... Still there not AS bad but still hurts when i take a deep breath in..dr just called to check on me says she will call me back shortly... Not much i can do but not agrivate it ya know? So here we go.. Highest weight Dec 2015 188lbs Pre surgical weight 177lbs (they did not weigh me that day this was my weight sat start of my liquid diet) Current weight 2 weeks after surg. 160lbs Total loss 28lbs

Hey tiffani i got mine 3/21

Wasa you can follow me here..http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/359417-starting-my-journey-boston-ma/page-10#entry4116734 In general i am feeling good...its certainly a learning curve... Ill tell you the first week after i did it i thought i made such a huge mistake... But soon it was easy once i found the right balance of it all. Now its a lot easier...however now im on pureed food and learning again...but still happy thus far...

Wasa im 4ft 10 my highest was 188...i was sleeved on 3/21...i did this for health issues NOT for body image issues... You can do this!! You WILL be healthy!! PM me just height alone we have a lot in common...most people are taller then us.

I did in the beginning ... I dont get it anymore

Yay!!!! So awesome

Hello everyone.. Pain update...so last nighy when i went home i took the oxy 5mg like they told me...OMG!! That is a horrible , HORRIBLE drug...i got dizzy, flush, almost thew up (held it in to avoid tearing a stitch) I will NOT take that again...anyways pain still there...lil better not much will go see my primary next week...and next week will be my 2 week post op and will post my numbers!

Read this... This is happening to mw now http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/359417-starting-my-journey-boston-ma/page-10#entry4115775

Just left...they said all looks good and no idea whats wrong to take the oxy medication... I don't like hard drugs!

Still here....no not any better

No i know...i feel my friday is being wasted

Im still in ER..i have had an EKG...CT scan with contrast (that was not fun)chest xray and blood work...they have me hooled up to IV.. No news good news right?!

See follow up on me!!http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/359417-starting-my-journey-boston-ma/page-9#entry4115558

Update... So you all know about the possible pinched nerve the doctor thought i had...i was going in to see her on tues...then she called me got her dates wrong so it was wed...well by wed it was pretty much gone...i had my two week follow up today friday already scheduled so figured i would just wait... Well last night the pain came back!! Strong and very painful...decided not to call her since i knew i was gonna see her today at 130pm .... So went in saw the nutritionist first...we all had our meeting as a group for those who had surgery on 3/21...there was 4 of us...anyways that went well and we got moves to stage 4 foods so very happy...now when i saw the dr..... I told the dr what was going on and the pain was back etc...she was baffled since i dont NOT have symptoms of a leak or bloos clot etc...but was concerned about the pain cause it hurts to breath in...so guess where i am now? ER!! She told me they gonna do a few tests to rule out anything major and if all else knock me up full of drugs and send me home...so hoping they find something instead...i even have to do a leak test ewww...so here i am sitting in the er...she called and told them i was on my way...they already did an ekg...ugh what a way to spend a friday....pray and wish me luck.

Ditto i had mine in 3/21/16

I never seen it...i think those things are a waste....you get more from youtube and pinterest....save your money.... look up the proteinchef on youtube hes really great...i have been using him for years.

No i have not...i did get stomach spasms but that was more with cold food...my stomach hates cold food...

Omg i tried it...gross!!! Glad u guys liked it.

So today i THOUGHT was a good day...1 week post op...(3/21/16)...drank a full shake and a yogurt felt great then slowly i started to get pain in my chest..my left side to be exact behind my boob...my arm does feel lil numb but figured thats norm...if i breath in too much it aches more but just a constant dull pain..never had this before...waiting for doc to call me back...took 2 gas ex already...ugh!

I have a friend who vlogs does not do forums so asking and wondering myself now...everyones team of doctors etc has different ways of diet limitations... So the question came up... #1 after surgery what was your food stage #2 how long did it last #3 how much weight did you lose in that stage only. I hope this helps answer her question as well for others.

I did day before yesterday but mine was from my left chest to my back...very sharp...(read here http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/359417-starting-my-journey-boston-ma/page-9#entry4112898)

Morning everyone...hello cloey! I still reall dont sleep on my side only because there is still a tiny bit discomfort and dont want to aggrivate anything or develop any unnecessary scar tissue...so i sleep on my side propped with pillows likeni did when i was pregnant.... Its actually really comfortable i wondered why i hadnt been sleeping like this before lol.... Curious how everyone is doing with sugar...i know its supposed to be all sugar free but i have the ok to have sugar since artificial sweeteners taste like acid to me...i still try though hoping i find the right combo... Stevia is what i keep trying since its the best...any suggestions??? Have a good day everyone!
