I'm almost in soft foods stage. Im also having issues knowing when full sometimes but i usually try to measure as well as i can. I don't have a food scale or many measuring cups or spoons so is hard for me. How long generally does one have to measure? Like at what point is it not absolutely necessary? I know a lot of people measure food forever but i don't see myself being one of those people. I have a history of going overboard and becoming obsessive when it comes to things like that.

A girl that works in my physical therapist office told me its common after abdominal surgery to have back pain because your back is compensating for the lack of muscle strength in your abdomen while healing. She said she had a lot of back pain after getting her hernia taken out. I thought it was interesting. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Didn't mean to send that last one yet, that was an accident. But anyway. I've been having near black outs because I haven't been getting in my Water. Now im giving myself more of what i need. Make sure you get your water. It makes a big difference. Even broth with help. Had more water yesterday than i had in a while and it still wasn't where i should be but it was way better. Monitor your urine. I noticed ive been peeing like....2 to 3 times a day. And that was because i made myself go. I had no urge because i wasnt drinking much of anything.

Good luck. Hope everything goes ok. I've been feeling more pain in thar area too. And feeling really sore like i did a bunch of crunches. I hate to admit it but i haven't done any of those in years. Not since i got a bad cramp from trying to do them lol. But this is almost worrying me because i was fine and then i woke up in pain. Like..wth? Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I was just telling my boyfriend this. How unprepared i feel. I felt so ready and now i feel like the rug has been pulled from under me. I've been having what i didn't want to admit was regret but now know is regret. Its hard coming to terms with the fact that you can't eat or drink the same. You know it's going to happen but have no idea how you'll feel after. I am about a month out and have been having a lot of issues mentally with this. Head hunger is crazy. Im not sure now if i even feel physical hunger but somethings going on in there. Never thought it'd be this hard to get Water in. I don't have a problem actually consuming actual water i just never get 64oz in. Im lucky if i get in 32 in a day. I always forget or lose interest. There's so much more but i don't want to ramble anymore, But glad I'm not alone Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Diabetic here and post op. I've been out of work two years with a horrible back. Sciatica, spinal stenosis, diabetic nerve pain. Leg weakness, just a bunch of stuff, including severe depression and anxiety. Still got denied. Even tho standing more than 5 minutes causes my lower back to seize up and my hips hurt so bad that i limp now. I was so discouraged i didn't even appeal. But i think I'll still try Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I did 2 weeks of the shots and im 29. I didn't think anything of it. They did cause bruising and nodules in some areas. I also think they made me itch. Everywhere i gave myself an injection had itched like the dickens. My stomach got it much worse. I think it's drying up now but i still have red Patches and soreness in the areas of my stomach where i took the shots. Im almost positive its from the shots but im going to see my doctor and see if she can give me anything for the itching. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I was given prilosec by my surgeon. I was sleeved 2 weeks ago. I'm having heart burn but im scared to take anything. How long before any of you could swallow a pill? I tried opening them but i dont think it works like that. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Just got mine today. And its crippling me. First one after surgery 2 weeks ago since stopping bc. These cramps are killing me. What do you guys do for them. Im scared to take anything but my liquid Tylenol 3 which is going to put me out. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I didn't mean to day such music. I meant which is why i didn't weigh much at home through the approval process. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I literally went to the doctors I've Tuesday and got weighed. 236. I weighed myself at home yesterday 230, 231,232. I give up. Which is why i didn't such music at home through the peices of getting approval. It upset me too much. I feel like it's my floors. Since they redid my apartment they haven't been the same.

No. Im sorry i think i Start soft probably right after my next appointment next month around the 10 th or the 13 th i think. I can't remember but i think around my next appointment she'll let me know where to go next. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

The whole blended phase is scaring me a bit because in honestly not very creative when it comes to food. I like a lot of different things but i can't wrap my head around this phase. I have i think 2 weeks of blended and then start on soft probably around thanksgiving or something. I just feel so lost right now Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

im on the total opposite end. I had my last period 9/17-21/16. Had surgery on 10/5/16. I was on birth control and my last pack finished 2 weeks before my surgery date. I was expecting another period a few days ago and it hasnt shown its head yet. Im not really surprised, mainly because i was on birth control not only for contraception but to regulate my periods. Without it i dont get one for months at a time. I might have 1 to 2 a year if im lucky. I keep feeling like it might happen but then im let down lol. Its annoying. I like knowing what to expect so not knowing if im going to get my period any time soon is nerve wracking. But ive never been under 200lbs as an adult. I figure i'll give it a bit before i get back on any form of birth control. i heard after wls its not as affective for contraception so i may ask my gyn about the IUD. Anyone else goes not get a period without BC? I feel like a special unicorn lol. PS. I always felt like the irregularity was due to being so heavy. Ive been overweight my entire life so im kind of curious to see how much weight i have to lose to have a regular period and if thats even possible for me. It'd be nice.

Ok thanks so much. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I hate to ask this. But I'm starting my puree stage this week. Is Peanut Butter a no no? I think i saw someone talking about it a while ago, i don't remember where i saw people chatting about it. Im just asking because it's soft and 8g of Protein for 2tbsp. But the texture is sticky. Im just trying to get the hang of this. Im still learning to make good choices. Haven't eaten any just wondering for the future if anyone has experience. If it's a good option or not Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

I have prilosec. But it's capsules. So when i open them up little marble like things come out. I have taken them a couple times but i feel they might be time release and it i don't think it worked any time i used them. No heart burn or anything but rumbling and a feeling of hunger? I'm so confused. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

This is so weird to me. The day after surgery mine were taken off. I haven't covered them since. Just wore my binder. The only one giving me issues is my belly button. It was my surgeons team. I was wondering if they did the right thing but i didn't have any issues so i just went with it. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for this. I was stapled and my incisions ate looking good. But the one in my belly button is giving me issues. I think he removed the staples too early for that one and it looks sketchy to me. I've been covering it and cleaning it. But I've been noticing like a slime and a smell. It doesn't feel any worse but im getting worried. I was going to go to my doctor and see if she can give it a look. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

Having a slight freak out. Im 11 days out from sleeve surgery. I've been using the GNC total lean 25 Protein powder and it didn't occur to me that it had a lot of carbs. My NUT approved it. But it has 17g of carbs and 3g of sugar and 25g of protein per 2 scoops (serving size). Im reading comments on here about protein and now im scared it's going to hinder my weight loss. I've been trying to get 3 down a day but it's hard. Doesn't help that it's gross. It's hard for me to aquire these things at the moment. Im unemployed and my family helps me. My sister buys most of the stuff i need. I don't want to bother her again. If my NUT says it's ok should i just keep with it and finish what i have? Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App

My freinds always say i should make videos. Why i don't know. I have nothing interesting to talk about lol. It'd probably be a bunch of rant videos and stuff anyway lol. But im definitely looking for new people to watch. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App
