Just like any weight loss surgery - you need to do the work - it's just a tool! Some are successful some aren't. My surgeon doesn't do lapband because 50-60% need removal due to slipping, erosion or other complications. Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App

I start mine Tuesday (but it's the 4th) - do you start on Wed? I have to drink Bariatric Fusion shakes but they're really good. I bought a few blender bottles. I made some sugar free jello and will pick up some clear liquids tomorrow. Hang in there! Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App

Pictures... I can't believe I look like that.
KristenLe replied to achappex3's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I cried after seeing my picture taken by my niece (I was holding my newborn great niece)! I look ginormous! I had to ask her to not post it on social media! I keep thinking of that picture through my process! Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App -
Throat swollen 17 days post op?
KristenLe replied to rolosmom7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think it depends on how egg is cooked - scrambled seem to be tough for a few. -
Throat swollen 17 days post op?
KristenLe replied to rolosmom7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@rolosmom Try broth and call Dr in morning. Do you have a temp? Maybe it was the eggs - many people can't tolerate them. Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App -

In disbelief that surgery will happen
KristenLe replied to ML573663's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@ML573663 I felt (feel) the same way. Mine is in 16 days. Every step of the way I just felt something was going to happen. I still have that in the back of my mind but praying the 18th gets here and all goes well. Hang in there! -
Don't worry about eating- get fluids in and work on protein in liquids.
