I'm nauseated by the smell. I don't want anyone to eat it around me. Has anyone else had food they once loved that they now find disgusting post-op? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Totally obsessed! Just got the new one yesterday. Can't wait to the add scale, H2O tracker and Fitbit stickers I ordered off Etsy!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Once you were cleared to add resistance training, did you find that doing these exercises-or even increasing cardio- caused a temporary stall or gain? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My NUT actually suggested doing the Protein supplement at night. I had been drinking it first thing in the morning and then I'd skip Breakfast, delay lunch until mid-afternoon...I was so satiated by the Protein Drink that I wasn't eating properly or appropriately. Now that I've moved it to the evening I am actually getting in 3-4 oz of real protein at each meal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Anyone not have to do 2 weeks diet pre op?
Talaria replied to Janiegirl1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was supposed to "eat clean" as soon as my surgery date was set, but I did not due to int'l travel to places where eating fruits and vegetables wasn't safe. I did the best I could, and 48 hrs prior went on liquid only. Asked my surgeon how my liver was after surgery and he told me "you'll get another 85-90 years out of it!" (I'm 39).

The first week post-op I felt like I had been hit by a truck. This was due largely to the major surgery, but also going cold-turkey off of a major caffeine dependence and carbs! (I did not do a pre-op diet). I got some energy back during the second week, but now that I'm back to work and life, I am utterly exhausted. I found the increasing my Fluid does help.

I am/was an emotional eater. Yesterday something came up that would have triggered me to overeat--binge, really. It was my gut instinct, but I couldn't do it. I physically cannot. In one was I was scared. "How do I deal with my emotions?!" But in another way I was SO relieved I had the surgery-this is why I had this surgery. It is a very powerful tool!

First business trip since surgery is tomorrow
Talaria posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 3.5 weeks post op and I have my first business trip tomorrow. Fortunately it's a 24 hr trip to DC (I live in Boston), and it's significantly shorter and time and distance as compared to my usual trips overseas. Nonetheless, I'm worried not about what I'll eat, but about STAMINA. I'm friggin' EXHAUSTED. DEPLETED. Just so, so tired. I'm getting Protein and liquids in, but I go to bed at 7:30 every night. I know I'm still healing but I just feel so tired. Since I can't bring my Protein shake through security, my plan is to drink on the way to the airport, get a Greek yogurt and big bottle of Water at the airport, nap on the plane, and I built in time for a nap before my work event tomorrow evening. Fingers crossed I can make it through this! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I'm freezing cold ever since surgery!

Questions on the dreaded "3 week stall"
Talaria posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
After losing 15 lbs in the two weeks post-op (and 0 lbs pre-op because I didn't do a pre-op diet), I have been stalled for going on 10 days. I know it's normal and to be expected...I've googled it, read the message boards, and still stayed awake at night worrying that 15lbs is all I'd get out of this process. BUT, I'm wondering what your experiences have been in terms of how long this lasted, and what (if you can identify anything) broke the stall. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Two Questions, if you please :)
Talaria replied to SusanB55's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon also prescribed them for 10 days, starting on the first full day home. I did them first thing when I woke up just to get it done. I injected the fattiest part of my hip. Somedays it pinched, other days not at all. The area will be very bruised as you are injecting a blood thinner subcutaneously. Oh--and grab some alcohol swabs from the hospital before you're discharged :-) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
We can have decaf tea or coffee as part of the clear liquid phase - before even leaving the hospital! MUST be decaf, and it probably goes without saying to not dump in a ton of sugar :-) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am three weeks out tomorrow and will travel on Thursday. I'm going to be very proactive about finding Snacks I can eat and keeping them in my room, plus packing some for the trip. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
