Oh dear u made me laugh..pancakes? I wudnt have thought of putting it that way. I have a big belly to begin with so hopefully i will hit the gym hard. If it dont work, then i might consider yet another surgery for skin removal

Yes i think i wasnt sipping like i shud. Today, ive sipped in smaller increments and was able to drink 8oz of water and took me like 30 mins or so to drink my 12oz protein breakfast...so thats a good sign. Today im supposed to start on pureed but am gonna give it 2 more days to work on my water intake...

Ok so guys...its day 7 for me and i find that liquids arent sustaining me as much. Do i stick to liquids till tomorrow which im suppose to start pureed, or will it be bad if i start today? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

This is my issue now. Like everything i drink tends to create a burping drama... sometimes i get pain as if i gulped...but i didnt...then as i move, it gets a bit better but then i feel the tiny pain again... its annoying. I havent been able to meet any of my goals...water or Protein cuz i try to avoid the bothersome pain wen i drink Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Amazing!!! Im gonna do the same...altho i didnt take many pics before surgery i have some here n there. Any suggestions as to how frequent i shud take a pic to compare? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Hey @Levita.... I bought my own tastless whey protien and added to high protein milk with frozen fresh (low sugar) real fruit such as cherries. there is a ton of protien in one scoop - more than most of the shakes and it tastes WAY better, far less sweet and contains zero nasty artificial sweetener. I can get 40g of protein (1 scoop of protein plus a cup of high protein milk) into one shake and then I SIP on that for hours - it has helped a lot to manage the nausea. So my advice, make your own smoothy and just sip over a few hours. :-)Thanks!! I was able to buy me a bariatric Protein powder. nectar Syntrax..cookies n cream flavor...that helps.

I went to fitness mania we have in my area and as soon as i told the guy i needed a Protein shake for bariatric he pointed me in the nectar Syntrax... they have all flavors! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I weighed 269 at my preop appt which was 4/8/16. Was put on a 10 day liquid diet before surgery on the 20th.... as of now, i went from 259 at surgery day to 250 today. Id say thats pretty darn good! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Thats because its soft. I had my first eggdrop soup today and OMG it was heaven. Im 6 day post op still on liquids till day 10 when i can start pureed. All docs are different. If u can manage to make it soggy... i wud try a bit and see how ur tummy reacts... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

No worries i completed a living will lol. Its normal. We have to remember its a major surgery but its totally worth it. Im 6days post op Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Im 6 days postop but aside from what u already drink, i do Protein shakes and well i think we are pretty much stuck with the Water and koolaid. Another thing i tried n like it alot is the propel strawberry kiwi packets for ur water. Not sure if u can do apple juice? Ive seen people say they can but it wasnt suggested to me...

Jane is right dnt give up now...u made it this far...hang in there !! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I was also nervous but i kept thinking on how i was going to look in the near future!! Im 6 days post op and from my preop appt till now im down 19lbs. Also recovery with any surgery is a bit painful but its normal. What i CAN tell u is you wont be able to fail at this...once u start eating or drinking u feel full fast. Its very different from when u have ur whole stomach lol. Youll be fine stay positive and follow everything to a Tee.... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I agree just take in the good advice and pitch the negatives... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Im day 5 postop too... and man what a struggle. Finding what fluids dnt make me gag. vanilla Protein yuk!! As of now i cant drink more than 4oz at a sitting. N when i do, its a bit painful till i burp a bit here n there... any ideas? To ease this? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Just keep sipping. This was the hardest thing for me was Fluid intake. Just try Water many different ways with lemon or limes or orange slices. Crystal light became my friend. It was until month 2 that I felt normal again. It all been worth but it's been had its ups and downs. Good luck!I use propel instead of crystal light. However i guess my issue is when to drink water and wen to drink Protein. Both are highly important. Does protein count toward water intake as well? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App Also wats the best protein flavor. I seem to get a bit gaggy with vanilla... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I went bout 3 days after altho not alot... but was very happy my butt was working lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Lol...sorry ir post was just funny... um my surgery date was 4/20. Till today, 5 days postop im only able to handle 4oz or so at a time. How long before u can drink a bit more? I knw everyone is different but i want to see everyones exp..with this? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

My metabolism was also low and most my family was big...however it wasnt until ichanged my eating lifestyle..incorpirating more veggies and healthy stuff into my daily intake, altho i didnt deprive myself at all from eating my pizza n normal foods...but when i did, i did it moderately. This helped me alot!! I also tried walking at least 30 mins a day...60 when i was up for it...the point is to burn more calories than u consume and cut back on sodas n sugery stuff. If ur gonna do it, dont over do it this worked for me Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Wow i got sleeved the 20th of april 2016 just 5 days ago... im excited altho having trouble getting my fluids in...any ideas? It seems like i can only do about 4oz at a time. Stats: HW280, SW259, CW 250... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I stayed overnight since i was moving very good on the next day with little help... usually u gotta pass the gas test lol but given that i was burping frecuently, they let me go im 5days post op and i feel better moving...moving is key but dont over do it. (Listen to your body)... i plan to go back to work in 4 weeks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App
