I had my surgery 7-15-2016 , exactly 1 mth ago and it's very hard and life changing. I wonder everyday what did I just do.. ? To myself. It's very hard and nothing easy about it. Your food choices change and it's very emotional. Restaurants you can forget them for now. I do follow the food plan, I am very strict and careful on what I am eating. If you get somethings stuck one time you will never try to do that again.. It's hard. I do see weight loss.. I have lost 30pounds in 1 mth since surgery. I am 8 pounds from under 200 pounds.. Can't wait for that. But it's been hard. I just wish everyone luck on there journey if your just starting. It does get better, everyday. But it's still hard and emotional. Good luck!

Thanks @@James Marusek they didn't tell me what the test said, just gave me another antibiotic. My surgeon was out of the office that day and another doctor read the results and said to give me this other antibiotic, made me kinda skeptical. Guess I should of called my doctor when he got back to the office. To double check. Because it didn't work. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I went to lab Corp and gave them urine for a urinalysis and urine culture .. I believe that's what it was called. And I was out on another liquid anabiotic. And still have pressure on my bladder. I plan on calling the doctor office to speak to my surgeons nurse. To see what all the test results said. I think something else is wrong if I still have bladder issues. It's constant pressure. Worries me.. What would the test all show?? Thinking if something more was wrong they would of called me but they haven't .. Just put me on another antibiotic. @@Kristen le would I have to be referred to a urogynecologist ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Already thank you for all the advice!! Everybody. I do take children's Motrin with a crushed up Excedrin in it once a day for migraines. I have had severe migraine since my surgery was done. It is weird everyone says to don't take the Motrin ibuprofen stuff to my surgeon recommended me to take the Motrin. He Said if it works that's what matters.

I had five incisions and they are all pretty small except for one of mine is --just a teeny bit longer then the other one , the incision is. And it's the only one that hurts more than the others. Everything is healing great but this one incision hurts and it has sharp pains in it . If I didn't have this one incision hurting everything would be great. Anybody else have the same experience ?

I removed my own surgical tape. I was told 5 days after leaving the Hospital to remove them myself. I won't see my surgeon until 2 weeks post op. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 12 days post op.. And been on the purée stage since day 5. I'm starting to try other foods a little bit. Still scared to do any kind of meat right now. The chicken in the crockpot with dark meat buffalo sauce sounds yummy..thinking about trying that very soon. Once I meet the two week mark. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Are you just eating the chicken with buffalo sauce by itself? Have to ask you questions about this because buffalo sauce is by favorite. But I know it's a little spicy so I didn't know if we can have spicy. I'm looking forward to your Feed Back on this... :-) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You did chicken in the crockpot with buffalo sauce that is my favorite thing ever! I was really worried wondering if we could have buffalo sauce again.. thinking probably not. Glad to hear it work for you I hope that works for me! Are you just five days post op and you can eat that? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
