Thank you the rocking back and forth worked!!!!! Now I just have to get the liquids in. Thank you so much Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App The pain will be there as ur stomach is swollen from surgery...sip small amounts. I used to rub my belly down and do the rocking back n forth to minimize pain..it will pass give ur tummy time for swelling to go down. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

It does get better...im week 3 and i feel awesome. Im still struggling with telling myself i WILL get full with a cups worth of food lol. But i can eat pretty much anything with no pain..except wen i forget to eat slow lol.

Sleeved on april ,20th... got 4 weeks off Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I also experience this...mine was done the 20th. We have to remember it was that area they did more tugging and pulling i assume so it will take time to completely heal. I too get the pulling affect of i move a certain way... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Oh dear i have to stop weighing daily... im also craving stuff. Like regular foods... so i find myself munching on Jello, popsicles etc...is that a bad thing? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App Im about 14 days out... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Listen to the advice given well except for the rude person. Its not worth ruining ur healing. Give it time... i get cravings too but i can get to those later on when im able. For now its healing time... try to keep busy so u dnt think so much about eating... i was a boredom eater...i knw how it feels. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I used a food processor...works like a charm. I dnt really think blenders work well for pureed Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I had mine on the 20th of april. I was sent home on a full liquid diet for week 1, week 2 pureed diet and i start soft diet in 2 days for 2 weeks. After that i can try regular textures making sure i eat slow and chew well. Also my insicions get itchy...its a good sign of healing. Be sure not to scratch to prevent infection. Try neosporin...

I do Syntrax nextar sweets...cookies double stuffed with 1% milk. I like it so far. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

what u see as marks its because i still have glue on it but if u see clearly it will be almost invisible once its all gone... hope this helps Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Im 11 days and i have a sensitive stomach to sweets...yes i tried a piece of candy yesterday ????. Since my doc recommended i start exercising at 3 weeks, i do home activities or go on errands to the store walk a bit just to move around...after, i feel fatigued but ithink thats normal. I had that feeling of pain in my stomach as i ate or drank and what i did was slow down even more...that helped. No dizziness, no nausea only with sweets.. and i feel great! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Im on day 11 and i feel great!! Insicions starting to itch like crazy lol but thats a good sign. It seems like when the glue wares off id have close to invisible scars...mayor plus!! Less pain when i eat and altho I think im ready for soft foods, im still on pureed till the end of the week its crazy how small my plate is yet i feel so full LOL!!! Cant wait for the weight to start falling off...lost 20 so far Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I was also healthy in terms of BP and stuff thankfully...the only thing i had developed was Water retention and achiles tendonitis which by the way i haven't had any issues with any since surgery!!

For me it was not being able to do things with my family. Im only 36 and i was always hurting somewhere, didn't like going out to eat much cuz sometimes i wudnt fit in the seats... I was always uncomfortable in my clothes. I wanted to have a long life with hubby and kids now all teens. When i hit 280 I said Oh no I can't keep living like this..and decided to look into this surgery since i saw a co-worker had gotten hers done and her results were amazing. I don't regret it. Yes im still in the process as im only 10 days out since surgery BUT i know it WILL get better and I already feel great... I was 269 preop appt, on my surgery date i was 259 and today im 250ish... I can't imagine how much more i will lose!! I'm excited!

I had the surgery im 10 days post op and my insicions are still visible but each one is a thin line so most likely it wont look horrible...I would dare say they will go unnoticiable (wrong spell lol). Ive had small insicions before from previous surgerys and I didn't even see them after a while. Cocoa Butter is always a good thing to use for marks if you need. There's also many products out there to help with scarring etc. but dont be alarmed it wont be bad.

The only thing i can say is that you're not your friend. Everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for the other. I've been on sooooo many diets and regimens...i worked out etc...but as soon as i stopped the diet or regimen and went back to eating normal...bam i gained it back. I didn't want to live this way forever i wanted to have some liberty even at a small portion. So i got this surgery. I like to eat healthy but i know what when i am able to eat regular food, I will be able to but at a small portion instead of binging then feeling like poop...

oh boy..then me being 4"11 naturally would make me like 4'10?? Oh Lawwwd I can't be a minion!

Im 10 days post op and at first i was regretting it, asking myself what on earth did i do... however when i started on pureed foods and was able to take in more Protein n Water a day, i felt better. Remember ur stomach is healing so it's going to hurt when u drink or eat. It's hard for me to eat slow so i get some pain but spoke to my NUT and she says i have to remember my tummy is healing so it's normal for some discomfort. I crave the lasagna and pastas etc...or when i cook for my family but i always keep in mind that i did this for ME...my health and it's a matter of time. Give yourself time to heal...it WILL get better be patient. My prayer go out to you..seek advice from ur NUT, Doctor that's what they are there for..you shudn't have to feel that way by urself...
