I am angry they took me off my estrogen lol I had a full hysterectomy years ago. Which throws you in to menopause. If I went through it already which I should have. The estrogen helped me. If I see one here or one wrinkle on my face I'm taking estrogen! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

I love bio oil. I have used it for years. I also use coconut oil. I always have kept coconut oil next to my recliner and apply it all day long. I also do not use Soup on my face not even as a child. I have always used ponds cold cream to wash my face. Good luck to you. ♡ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

After surgery I found out I have some nerve damage now in my right thigh on the top side. It is so strange because if you run your nails a cross it i can't feel it and I can tell by doing that where it begins and ends. The problem is beyond the outer skin the nerve pain is absolutely unbearable he put me on Lyrica 3 times a day. And oxy 3 times a day. He told me this sometimes happens after abdominal surgery. I hate being high all the time on oxy. But even with that it still hurts badly just not as intolerable. Walking is bad unless I'm doped up. Has anyone else had this or heard of it? I will be 4 weeks out in a few days. Thanks. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

I lost 40 pounds pre-op by having one slim fast for breakfast and at dinner I had an awesome homemade soup everyday for 4 months. My doctor recommend I lose 25 he was elated with my loss. I was not giving any special liquid diet I was on my own. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

@@j16 The reason I picked the GB. was of how many have had other weight loss surgeries and then came back and got the GB. I did not want to do that. Good luck with whatever Journey you choose. ♡ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

I have never looked my age and my skin has always been my best feature. Nobody ever believes I am in my late 50s. I turned 56 in the hospital and the nurses were amazed at my age too. My biggest fear is losing that. I do not carry weight in my face if you only saw my face pictures you would never guess I was heavy. I am hoping that helps me. So as vain as it sounds that is my biggest fear. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

@olehippie Have you tried premier it has 30 grams of Protein and it doesn't taste bad Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

I agree with him you will need the small children's plates and bowls even the spoons help I also drank from a sippy cup at first because it only allows a little bit of liquid at a time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

My Doctor put us on Vitamin regiment pre-op from the first visit which was 6 months before surgery. He changed things up like the Multivitamin had to be chewable and it was something that had to be added. But he also made us bring the Vitamins with us on the last appointment before surgery to show that we had them we were told if we did not show him the surgery date would be changed. Funny how each doctor is different. My advice is to get the list of vitamins and the food menu and have it ready before surgery also be sure to have your Protein drinks I highly recommend premiere it has 30 grams of protein. Good luck with your new Life. ♡ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

Inner surfer I am doing better. I am going to leave the group. But I want you to know that you have been a good friend to me. Thank you ♡♡♡ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

Outside mat. I use this from my phone. I think I will just delete the app. I do not know how to use it. I am so sorry I offended people here was not my intention. I wish you all great success.

KristenLe I have only been fat the last 4 years in my whole life and really did not feel the psychologist who evaluated me needed to know that. 4 years in my whole life is alot different than someone who has had the struggle for all of Thier life. I know more about diet and healthy eating then you think. Right now I am just following the doctor's orders. I will get back to myself very soon. And from there I know what to do. And I do follow my doctor's orders. Here is my menu. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

I am not going to listen to others about food again on here. I eat 1 egg mixed with some cottage cheese in the morning. After reading some post I added some graded mozzarella cheese. Just about a teaspoon. And experienced my first kick in the butt! I am 3 weeks pre-op. I will stick with my diet of 1 egg with cottage cheese. Protein shake that takes 4 days to drink. sugar free pudding and homade Soup or Beans no cheese. That is all I am going to eat. Dumping is horrible!

Dub I had know idea that I was on a sleeve forum? I thought this was for all weight loss surgeries. That makes a lot of sense. Is there different Forums on this app? Or do you know? I have been getting so beat up on stuff I say. Maybe that is why. Of course I know a sleeve person does not have a pouch. And my straw comment would not apply to them. Thank you for letting me know this is for sleeves. I will try and find my people. Good luck on your journey and thank you. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

If you have gastric bypass please just ask your doctor about the straw. I would listen to him not veteran sleevers. There is more information on it online from doctors which include the ulcer comment. But it is better to just ask your doctor. I have a feeling if I brought back a doctors note on it. I would still be called a liar. Haters going to hate. Personally I could careless if you stretch your pouch or get an ulcer. I tried to warn you. Again this is to gastric bypass.

Iipstick lady if you look you can see I can have Beans as well as banana. On the bigger list it says only half a banana. And for the record I only blended that once with my premier and yogurt. Because it made even more drink I had a little and sipped on it for lunch put the rest in the fridge the next day I threw it away it smelled horrible. But you can think whatever you want. In the end my success will tell my story. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App
