Thank you so much, everyone! I do three small meals a day with one Fiber one snack (on occasion) . I don't eat any bread or fried foods. I only drink Water, skim milk and decaf coffee. I try to watch my fat grams in everything I eat. I was a huge soda drinker before and I haven't had a soda (or caffeine) in 4 months. I definitely think that helped jump start my weight loss. I eat lots of turkey, grilled chicken and fish, veggies, cheese, Beans etc. I feel like a new person and I am regaining happiness that I lost years ago.

I have PCOS. I'm 6 weeks out and down for a total of 40 pounds. I lost 10 during the pre op diet (my pre op diet was all liquids) and 30 from surgery so far. I couldn't lose but a pound or two on my own before the surgery. So glad I did it! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Premier Protein and I bought different flavors of crystal light for my Water so I didn't get bored with just plain water. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I took pain meds only for the first couple days. My worst thing was nausea/vomiting. It was terrible. I still have super bad gas pains but they are getting less and less everyday. They are mainly super bad when I lay down at night. I can drink a decent amount of Water in a short amount of time without any problems. I'm one week post op and 25 pounds down! I lost about 12 pounds during my pre op diet which definitely helped me get ready for my liquid phase after surgery. I'm excited for the months to come!

Hey guys! So I had my surgery on Tuesday 6/28 and it went amazing. My doctor said my liver looked great from where I followed my pre op diet so well. Here's just a few things I wanted to share.. I was in a lot of pain when I woke up. Morphine wasn't even making a dent in my pain level. The first night in the hospital is by far the worst. I had severe nausea and I threw up a couple times. I walked so much in the hospital that my gas pains where at a minimal. So that was a good thing. I was up probably every hour and it was super hard to get comfortable. The next morning I went for my leak test and it showed that everything looked great which I was so happy about! I stayed in the hospital a few hours that next day until my nausea was controlled. I was on a phergan IV pump. I even threw up my pain medicine. It felt like I had some mucus in my chest and they wanted me to try to cough and take deep breaths as much as possible. I'm two days post op and last night was soooo much better! I was able to sleep 4-5 hours at a time without pain or nausea. The soreness is already going away and I can get up by myself now. No matter how much pain I was in the first night, I still never regretted my decision. I promise it gets better and better everyday. Praying for everyone to have a speedy recovery!

Yes I feel the same way! Some days I thought I was going to starve to death but I realized it was just a mental thing. I moved to full liquids today for the next week and I am so glad! Going through this process, you want to eat like everything you see but you can't! It's slowly getting better. Good luck to you!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I took classes at Memorial & I used Dr. Ponce. He's amazing! He did my surgery at Hamilton Medical Center in Georgia. I was a cash pay patient and he usually does all his cash pay patients there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I totally understand!! I'm still having random gas pains but no pain from anything else. Some days I can go without a nap and some days I need one. Trying to take it slow. Congrats to you as well!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
