Thank you. I'm hoping it's temporary until I heal better. I was having a pretty good day today except for these last 4 hours. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Eating drinking anything else creates no problem. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

My doc says it's from over doing it.. slow down if it happens,when you eat, smaller bites chew better. If when drinks, smaller sips spaced out Friday activity slow down! Gentle stretching smaller walks and rest Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Your PCP isn't getting it. It's not his area of expertise. You are loosing weight probably better than you ever have. Do your plan. Try and let things like that roll off your back. If PCP keeps it up, seek a new one. You are doing great! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Yay me! I am down 22 lbs since September 6 PreOp appointment. 12 since surgery. Total since Feb 2016= 40 lbs!!!! Current weight 248 I was able to put a size large t-shirt on and xl yoga pants ( didn't look like I was going to burst at the seams.) Now if I could kick this stupid infection in my neck lymphnodes and mastoid area I would be more comfortable. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Hang in there! You will be fine. Your body likes homeostasis so you are battling road blocks to loose weight. Some times you drop and other times you wont. It's hard and can be disheartening but you are loosing! It's okay to vent. That's why its support forums! Keep following your plan. Accept that you will not be perfect but you pull it back together and move forward! Hugs and we'll wishes to you! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Probiotic Gummy Advance Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I take a gummy probiotic. It regulated my bowels. I was chronically constipated. I am 2 weeks out from surgery and started the probiotic again because I went back to bad constipation. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

A dress of some sort in case you don't tolerate the waisted band of pants. I wore a dress for first 5 days no undies no bra because it bothered me so much. A phone charger. Hospital should supply the rest Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

And by off, eat soups protien drinks ect. Not everyone is ready to eat at your stage. Just don't give up but take it slow. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Your stomach might not be ready yet. Take a few days off and try something different like the chicken or turkey meatball. Take a bite then wait a few minutes to see if it sits well. You may only get a bite or two before full at first. Hang in there Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

G2 Gatorade is real sugar but reduced amounts. V8 juice Soups protien drinks (goes to your daily liquid intake ) pedialyte regular Popsicles I'm in the same boat with artificial sweeteners. It's a struggle Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I never really thought about it but when you eat post surgery, at first you can only take a few bites. Do you just stop eating all together or wait 15 minutes and eat a little more? If you only take a few bites, how do you consume enough for sustaining life? I get the fact I have a lot of fat stores and I'm burning that off. Is that action of using your fat stores that thing that keeps you "living"? Am I over thinking this? Or just,suffering from fog brain? Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Okay thank you. I don't know why I couldn't get past that thought. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Yes! sleeved 9/19. Yesterday was first day I could drink Water without feeling like I had razor blades in my tummy. Drank alot of V8 diluted honest Kids juice g2. I can't consume artificial sweeteners so it's rough. Today was the first day I could drink a protien shake. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I've had more solid foods than recommended. Not meals or anything goes like that. A bite here or there. I handled it well but it was small piece and we'll chewedm Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I had a good day today except for pain using a straw. That won't happen again. Poopping is so so. The infection in my neck lymphnodes is turning around so hopefully I will feel better. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I ventured out today for a change of pace. My waterbottle broke while i was out so I got a cup of unsweetened tea in a cup. I absent mindedly popped a straw in. The pain I felt in my chest was bad. I could figure out why for a minute . Moral of the story : straw = pain Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I know @@Armygalbonnie my NUT prefers no Caffine however if you can't do without, keep it 1-2 cups a day. Right now all I would do is tea. Straws and gum are a no no. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

All I know is it was sharp pain in my chest. Maybe it has to relate to the hiatal hernia repair. I sipped normal from the cup and was fine. I'm glad you can use it. I hate going to restaurants and drinking from the glass unless it's beer. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Congratulations happy healing! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I'm having troubles too. I kinda can eat the Bariatric fusion softchews chews but they are 6 chews a day only 90 come in a bag. $26 I'm hoping once my stomach heals more I can,switch to something else Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Okay. I'm just over a week out of surgery. It wasn't a walk in the park like you all know. It isn't something that you walk off. I am also battling some weird lymphnode infection on my neck. I am tired. I am sore. I need rest. Why am I expected to get up and running like normal? I had a good Friday and Saturday. I pushed through some pain and paid for it. My husband makes me feel that still needing help is bothersome. He barely spoke to me today especially when I asked him to grill steaks and heat up a side dish for his and my daughters dinner. When I was napping, he wakes me up asking what I'm doing? He's expecting me to sit for 4 hours tomorrow and run payroll. This isn't just drop numbers in and go. It's complex and I can barely get through writing an email or post. I haven't even looked at work stuff since September 12 and he knows that. The nature of our relationship is that we bicker friendly like. Our pet names for each other is jerk and jerkie. We playfully argue and nit pick but we never get mean. He works long hours and is very type A. I do my best to keep my requests for help down. I hate being dependent on help. My hubby just isn't making this easy. I just need some slack but that is lost on him. We've been through so much together good bad and ugly. We have been very fortunate in many ways. I just thought I'd have a little more understanding. Augh.. thanks for listening. I just don't get it. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Now if I can just get this infection to go down. And win the lotto and go to Universal Studios, get my letter to Hogwarts and a cabin in the woods I'll be happier. Ha ha ha Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
