Brent did your Dr approve slim fast? You should be having high Protein, low Carb, low sugar and low fat. I used light muscle milk and I found a couple at rite aid that I had my nutritionist check them. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

@@FabFemale you'll do great. A little soreness but its gone before you know it and your on to the new you. Good luck

Good luck to all of you. I haven't enjoyed a piece of pizza in a long time now and I don't think it will be anytime soon. I was served 1/25/16 down 45# at last Dr appt

If your post op, your journey has just begun. I wish you luck in this new life. Being able to eat actual food again was great. I am continually looking for new ways to consume Protein and to actually have room for something else along with it. But I have not gotten to that yet. So I graze through out the day. I still use shakes and bars to get enough protein in and my doctor said she expected that. Enjoy the new you thats to come. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

It all depends on you, I needed meds a little longer so I needed sleep. You may be fine. Every heals differently.

I think it all depends on each person. I'm a side sleeper because I have neck issues. I use to love sleeping on my stomach, so now I'm a pillow tucker. I just like some pressure on my stomach. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

You look amazing!! I will make sure to keep something I have had photos taken in for before photo. I am 3 1/2 months post open and have lost 45# Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

Yes, when your healed you can start to use it. I got a bottle at Walmart 70,000 ui its very thick but it feels good and doesn't just soak in.

It's hard to not see the scale move but the reward is putting on clothes that you couldn't wear or were to tight and now there loose or way to big. I don't own a scale anymore and I don't think I'm getting another. Keep up the great job Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I have 6 some I can hardly see and the rest are fading slowly. I had my gallbladder removed a few months prior so I have 10 all together now and I use Vitamin E on them and it really helps. They are worth it. So far I've lost 45 lbs just had my 3 month check and my Dr. was happy with how I'm doing. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

The pre op was a killer but you can do it. Its worth it. I made up a big bottle of shake and when ever I felt hungry it was that or water. I'm down 43lbs and have my 3 month check up on Friday. I also had gotten a cold just before surgery but just make sure you stay hydrated and flush it out. You'll do great. Keep us posted.

Oh!! I just thought of something. I'll take the padding out of my bra, like I need anymore there DDD. Hahaha! Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

You look great, enjoy the attention. I use to have a nice butt like that but now it's flat, makes me sad. Now I have to build one back or start wearing padded panties like my sister... Hahaha!! Keep up the good work. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

You look beautiful. I'm seeing myself come back to life and it's just amazing how I feel. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

My butt seemed to be the first thing to go, which my husband just told me he was sad about, lol. My face and neck are back to looking slim, no change in bra size which I'm hoping will happen at some point. These girls are heavy, DDD. My hips have really gone down but my belly is hanging on for dear life. I'm very happy with how it's going. Just going to have to start working out to firm up and build a butt, lol. It's so flat :-( Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I'm sure your meds will need to be adjusted because of weight loss. I have already had mine adjusted and in 6 months I have my blood work done again and may come off 2 meds,???????? next month I see my other dr for another decrease. Life is good. Good luck.

Good luck to all of you. I was sleeved 1/25/16, down 43 lbs and feel great. The hardest part was the pre-op diet which I did for 3 week's. If I thought of having anything, I drank Water or my shake. You can all do it. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

Yes it is forever, but I know for myself the health issues I couldn't handle any longer. I will be turning 53 in a couple of weeks and I was a healthy successful businesses women until I had a sudden divorce at 40 I walked away from my business and I lost life. I gained 90lbs. Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, became type 2 diabetic and a few other issues, so life was pretty painful and I didn't like what I saw in the mirror any longer. But since I made the decision to get sleeved and have lost 43 lbs I feel like I'm living again. Yes it is a job right now getting in Protein and Water and not eating some things. But once you make it to your goal weight it will be so much easier. It's not a problem getting full on such a little amount of food, it's making sure to get enough in for the day. I don't put into my mind so many bites of this and so many bites of that I just focus on being healthy again. I just got my first blood work back and wow I'm on my way to being the woman I use to be and that makes me happy. I hope I've helped a little. I'm always here if you want to talk. Good luck.

@206vette1 you've already lost 50 lbs?? Wow! If I may ask what was your starting weight? I was sleeved 1/25/16 and have lost 43 lbs. I have a hard time getting in all my Protein. I was type 2 diabetic and fibromyalgia my muscle tone is really loosened up, which I really don't want to end up looking like a piece of Jello ???? I'll be turning 53 in a couple of weeks and getting back into shape just isn't as easy as it was. Taking it slow. I'm a walker. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

You all look great. So far I've lost 43 lbs Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

This will be the best thing ever for you. I was in so much pain from so many health issues and my pain level is almost gone. Just had my blood work done and everything is going down. I can tell you how happy that makes me. Maybe in 6 months (next blood work) I can come off some of my meds, I already have been reduced on one. Good Luck!! We're here for you. And Good Luck to your mother. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App
