They have me around 1k calories... My surgery was in June.... Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

My meds kept working until about 40 lbs down... Then my body changed and I had to change my meds... It's not a big deal... Still the best decision I have made!!! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Ok, I don't want any negative feedback on this... Has anyone one else had a problem with anxiety after surgery? I had issues before but once my meds where good, I had no issue... After, my meds, and body adjusted and the only thing I can keep the feelings in check with is a beer and a cigarette.... I'm working with my doctor to try and get my anxiety meds straightened out.... Fast..... Anyone with similar issues? Or with drinking issues? My surgery was June 7th...... Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Can anyone give some support on alcohol issues after sleeve surgery? No negative comments please. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I've lost 55 lbs so far.... It seems easier to grab a beer or 2 and a smoke to ease the feelings until my meds start to level out... I don't get belligerent or destructive when I drink, just happy.... My wife isn't happy because I'm drinking by myself.... I'm going to start getting more active again now that it is cooling off outside..... Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Not much for posting pictures.... Had my VSG on June 7th... It is August 28th.... Down 60 lbs... Still a ways to go but feeling amazing so far.... Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Thank-you! As you know it is a tough battle but, one step at a time.... I hope to lose another at least 30... I'm only a few months out so hopefully, it will keep coming off!! Thanks for your support!!! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Walking was the only thing that helped me... Walk an hour each day and by the 3rd day it should be almost gone... Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Hello everybody, I had my VSG on June 7th... I've lost 50 lbs so far.... However, my shoulders and elbow joints are starting to get sore... Taking my bariatric Vitamins, not doing a strenuous workout... Anyone else having similar issues? Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I had my sleeve surgery on June 7th.... I have been on the full liquid diet since May 29th.... smelling real food and seeing the scraps is too tempting.... does anyone else have this issue? I don't want to sabotage myself.... Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I went to the same place. Had Dr. Kolasch do mine... great office!!! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Hello everyone!!! I hope your surgery has shown results like mine... however, my surgery was on June 7th, and I'm still getting tired as all get-out in the afternoons...... sometimes in the a.m. as well....I'm taking my Vitamins, getting my Fluid, and my Protein..... I knew to expect it for a few weeks but, this is longer than expected.... thoughts? Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

It is common but, I didn't think it would last this long... I'm back to work and fairly active.... I know my body is still changing but dang, I'm ready for energy!!!! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

2 weeks post op and I'm down 30 lbs!!!! Super stoked!!!! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Just had my 2 week post op appointment today..... Lost 30 lbs in 3 weeks and my BP is 126/66.... flipping awesome!!!! Was told I can start exercising more and that pureed food is now on the menu!!!! Looking forward to more weight falling off!!!! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

It really gets you double thinking your decision but, remember the reasons why you want it!!!! I am almost 2 weeks post op and almost 30 lbs gone already.... it will be challenging at times.... we are here to help support you.... good luck!!!! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Premier Protein is great!!! Just remember the basics.... I feel it's easier when I'm busy to just drink one of those anyway.... good luck... we are here if you need more support.... Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Only lasted a few days with me also.... Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Not really much to take.... unless you have a cpap machine or something like that.... toothbrush and toothpaste.... I was out 24 hours after the surgery.... just wore comfy shorts and a T-shirt there and back..... best of luck to you!!! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I'm 2 weeks post op... trying to find decent Snacks... I'm on the puree diet... is cheese an acceptable snack... in small, very well chewed quantities? Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I mixed ground Flax seed with my Protein drinks and Soups.... it helps... Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

The first two or three days are the worst.... once the hunger pains go away, it isn't too bad. Find a few different choices for Protein so you don't get burned out because, after surgery, you will have a few more weeks of the liquid diet as well.... stay away from the kitchen as much as possible because, there is a lot of temptation there.... it will go by quick... my 2 week post op appointment is Wednesday... I'll be starting pureed food soon... once you see the weight start dropping with the liquid diet, you will feel better about it.... good luck.... Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Got mine done on June 7th.... Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I had this talk with my wife also... she is all about supporting me but, I had to tell her that was like slapping me in the face..... she understands now and knows it is hard already, let alone watching and smelling that stuff.... good luck. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App
