Hows everything going so far?

Im still on the clear liquid diet... Should i be in the mushy or full liquid stage by now?

Yes all in one operation.

Hey everyone I can't seem to find a comfortable way to sleep my decisions are really tender stomach is really sore not sure what's the best position to sleep in haven't been to sleep in 2 days any suggestions thanks

Im 29 3 days post op lots of pain for me mostly gas pain and muscle pain. Ive had to take pain meds everyday i feel i have a high pain tolerance but this was no joke! There is no way i could go back after a week I did also have my gallbladder removed and a hernia repair at the same time

Is this normal? Ive been up trying to walk every few hrs. But i can barely hold my head up with feeling tired

Thank you guys I'm really hopeful I really just don't feel like myself not really in too much pain but my core muscles really really hurt anytime I try to really do anything I can't get out of the chair by myself and I'm just so exhausted thank you for all your support continue to walk and give him fluids thank you Sorry for all the typos this talk-to-text it's terrible LOL

Thank you all surgery in the Morning! Wish me luck

Surgery tmr morning :-) Ive been feeling pretty numb... I wish i could be excited! It just feels unreal to me. Idk is this weird? Im not scared even i just feel nothing. [emoji15]

I have read that having your gallbladder removed can cause weight gain has anyone experienced this at all or any changes in digestion?

Having surgery 8/24 my surgeon wants me to have it removed says i have alot of stones.

So I had my last appointment with the surgeon today and he said that I had a few gall stones that were about two centimeters and suggested that we remove my gallbladder during the procedure is this really necessary? are there any benefits to removing it?

I didnt know it was that serious! Wow. it sounds like its pretty common to have it removed i just didnt know how medically urgent it was. I will definitely have them do it then. Thanks :-)

That guy is an insecure douche. It will only get worse roll out

Ok i hate the fact that people (health care providers especially) think that all over weight people know zero about fitness and nutrition! Everyone doesnt just sit up and eat Cookies all day! Dont get me wrong i eat my fair amont of cookies lol but i hate that! If you have struggled with weight your WHOLE LIFE you are basically forced to learn about it. (atleast i was) ive gone to the gym with ppl 1/2 my size and could out lift them and have twice tge endurance. #fatgirlsworkouttoo

I cant believe your Doctor would say that! How rude (to say the least) I would have found a new Doc.

Some Fat ppl run :-)

No worries I totally get it! Im heavier and still get crap from my family! So i could only imagine if i were smaller omg lol

I would like to apologize if i offended anyone.i love to hear all sides of a debate thats how you learn and grow. We all have our own story to write and at the end of the day i want everyone to be happy and healthy ☺. We are really all in this together trying to accomplish the same goal.and we can all learn something from each other.

To me losing is easy keeping it off is near impossible. Im here to voice my opinion and to understand all views. I hope to be a personal trainer one day and help others so i like to hear others opions. I dont mean to offend anyone i just honestly wasnt aware people considered this option at such low weights.

Not everyone that has a low BMI gets WLS because of the laziness of putting a "little effort" I had wls at a BMI of 32, this was because i completely screwed up my metabolism from having the band. I was a BMI of 23 and jumped to 32 in less than 12 months since having the band removed. Basically i can not eat above 800 calories without gaining. My exercise and diet remained the same, i did NOT gain from lack of effort. Please do not generalise without knowing peoples history or story, a blanket statement like that isn't useful to anyone. And as you say, being 200lbs, you lose with very little effort, this may be the case for you, but you will find that weight loss is slower the lower BMI one is. Better to do something about it sooner than later right? That's like us (low BMI'ers) saying "we don't understand how you can gain so much weight & take so long to do something about it". To be honest there's no reason for anyone to be 600pds... Sorry. Heavier people lose weight faster than we do actually that why there's drastic weight loss for them, the weight moves slower for low BMI's so we actually HAVE to work super hard. I don't understand why anyone on this site would be harsh toward anyone. We are all here because we made bad choices & want to be healthier. I don't see a purpose for dissension on a "support group". Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 600 lbs is a little excessive and i feel you were being mean spirited. Im not trying to be harsh im trying to understand. I understand if you have a health issue or rapid weight gain for no reason. But i do have an idea of the struggle because i have been that size most women in my family are that size and dont have trouble losing if and when they want to. I see that this is not the case for everyone and my apologies for generalizing. My concern is that surgery is becoming a go to option instead of a last option. But who am i?? This is just my opinion on an open forum you dont have to agree with me.And also ive been "doing something about it" since i was 13 im 30 now. I exhausted EVERY other option before i ended up hear. Every diet known to man trainers, nutritionist, tons of time in the gym. so it took so long because i busted my ass first landed on my face too many times. And here we are.

I do wish you well. Do whatever makes you happy if this is what works for you then best of luck! I didnt mean to come off judgemntal. I just have always viewed this surgery as a worst case senerior for severely overweight people. But it seems to be more of the norm now.

I havent bought anything! I feel like time is moving super fast and im not prepared! Im also concerned no-one is going to be there to help me when i get home from the hospital. Will i really need someone there 247 ? I really.hope not everyone works i will be alone probably after the 1st day :-(

I hate to be that person but i just cant fathom why anyone with a low BMI would want to do this?? I was running track at 200 lbs. It just seems like it takes very little effort to lose when you not morbidly obese. It just seems like there are so many other options.
