Im 5 weeks out and I have had a horrible week. Ive ate everything i been told not to. The things recommended make me sick so i was told i can sneek in 1 or 2 stax chips to help with my bloodwork (dont know how) but since then i just want staxs and cheese its. I didnt even like those things preop and. Now thats what i like. But i do premier shakes and lots of chicken shrimp and i did flank steak too. I feel like ive had this thing forever. Im not miserable but i am uncomfortable. Its so hard to not eat and drink and i dont have enough time at work to eat slowly. :/ Sent from my LG-D415 using the BariatricPal App

Your health is 100% more important then a vacation. As long as you've communicated it youve done your part. Dont allow her to make you angry. You've been waiting and working for this. When I had my sleeve I applied for fmla and short term disability. I applied through UNUM the company our HR uses and everything worked out for me to leave and my supervisor couldnt say anything (he was supportive and worked with me) but good luck with your surgery and stay focused on the positive, your getting your life back!

I was just sleeved on 6/27 I just started purees on Sat. (was suppose to be today) I had pain in middle of my chest too when drinking and my nutritionist said its because too big of sips/drinks. Now i can take bigger sips way faster too. You doing good! Sent from my LG-D415 using the BariatricPal App

On the paper they gave me it said any bariatric multivitamin. Ex. Celebrate. But i rather just go back to my regular multivitamins that are Centrums. I have to do calcium and b12 and Vitamin d i have all that. Its just the multi killing me Sent from my LG-D415 using the BariatricPal App

I ordered the Bariatric Advantage chewable berry flavor Multivitamin and I just cant take the flavor. I tried 1 and couldnt do it again. Does anyone know if I can just take regular Multivitamins? Or could anyone recommend a multi gummy or has anyone tried multivitamin Patches? Im on my week 3 post op and have not had any multivitamins at all. Sent from my LG-D415 using the BariatricPal App

O ok good lol i just dont want to stretch it or do anything wrong Sent from my LG-D415 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you so much for that! My biggest issue is that this has forever been my biggest demon i feel that getting the surgery will cheat me of that experience of doing it on my own and i fear going thru life unfufilled. I would consider myself Somewhat of a plus size athlete lol i love the gym i love being active i have always dreamed of being a runner. Im also afraid that i wont break my food addiction and will seriously hurt myself if i go thru with this. I told my Dr i would let him know my final answer in a week. Little tia I admire your honesty to yourself and your Dr. I have always been big I looked into this surgery 9 yrs ago and really just couldnt afford it then after having to go to a trainer (because it was bday gift didnt want to be rude lol) i found a love with workout. I never wanted this surgery. Seriously my spine specialist recommended it june 7th. And june 10th i was sitting in a bariatric office i was there alllllll day doing several insurance required appointments. Then that monday the 13th i waa already on my preop diet :/. I was so sad and mad at first cause i felt i had no choice this or back surgery but now Im happy i did it. Im not at all worried about looking smaller lol I just want to run faster and longer. But I was like you I wanted to face my biggest challenges! I really suggest that too. I believe everyone should try for themselves if they can first. It truly allows you to appreciate the process and really fall in love with becoming healthy. If I would of done it before trying I would of just been worried about weight and being smaller. Now Im in school for nutrition and i speak to others about healthy living and we have started a community walking group so I do believe you taking your time is going to have its benefits! Whatever your choice you will be successful! Sent from my LG-D415 using the BariatricPal App

Hello I am new to this and have really found alot of your post helpful! I was sleeved 6/27. I am suppose to start my pureed foods this Monday. But today i tried a little egg and it was fine and for dinner I tried a little mashpotatos that was also fine but I did fine myself in the restroom a little quicker then normal. (sorry tmi) My question is about my liquid intake. I am wondering how much is normal amount of ounces to be able to intake? I just had a 16oz snocone and 8oz Water immediately after. It took me 2 hrs to finish but it was continuous, I never put it down. Is this normal? Or ok? Sent from my LG-D415 using the BariatricPal App

I was 400pds, got down to 286 naturally. After awhile even though following my cleaning eating and workouts I gained some pounds and then always stayed yoyo'd for almost 2yrs between 290-295. One week after my 2nd half marathon I had a injury and got up to 305. Yea I had cheat meals even though I couldnt work them off but mostly gained because of swelling after a hip procedure done in efforts to help my back. I say all that to say good luck and make sure you have a great chiropractor/ physicians. I was and am a plus size athlete and after my injury I learned sooooooo much about all the horrible physical damage we with extra weight do to our own bodies by "pushing" ourself and doing things that our skeleton can not handle. Do it smart! And unlike me dont push to hard. After 3 years of loosing my 100+ pds, being a featured athlete on the news, winning a inspiring health award for our community, and motivating a TON of others. I had to get sleeved to hurry and get pressure off my spine. I just had my surgery 6/27 and I can honestly say I have not had 1 backache. I urge you to be smart! And although you may be mentally healthy to begin the journey again, make sure you are physically healthy along the way. I know I can't wait to run and be back at boot camp now I will be able to do even more without all the weighg hurting me so I am excited! God bless your journey! Everyone is here to support you and your decision. Just know surgery isn't an easy way out. Nor does it limit you. It helps you be able to accomplish even more!
