I saw that i can make a smoothie with a banana in my full liquid stage. When it was time to eat dinner, the bananas looked so tempting that i figured if i can have one in a smoothie, i can have one if i chew it well. I had my surgery july 11... Any opinions? Sent from my LGMS345 using the BariatricPal App

So sorry to hear of your complications! I hope it all works out for you! make it a great day

Wow! You look 20 years younger! You are beautiful! Good luck with the marathon! make it a great day

I tried it when i was cleared for it. A piece got stuck and I had a couple hours of terrible pain. My Dr was going to send me to the ER for an upper GI, but i finally vomited it out. I waited a couple of weeks before trying it again. It was much better, but still had some issues. The point is that many people can tolerate it and many people cannot. Just proceed slowly and carefully until you know which category you fit into. Good luck! make it a great day

Hi! I'm 6 weeks post op now, but i had the same thoughts for the last 2 weeks before surgery. I was terrified, and unsure if im doing the right thing. However, it was just cold feet. I went through with it, and although it's hard work, im very glad i did. 32 lbs down and developing good habits.. Good luck to you! make it a great day

I am 6 weeks post op and this is by far my greatest struggle! It seems like i don't learn! make it a great day

It's funny... I've always wished I was hyper rather than hypo.. That way, the weight would just fall off... make it a great day Hope you get stable soon, krakow! make it a great day

I've been hypo for about 14 years, but then had thyroid cancer 8 years ago. My thyroid was removed. Been clear now for 6 years, thank god...Thanks for asking... make it a great day

Me too! ????

Amen! You rock, lipstick lady!

I'm so glad you responded, Valentina! I think us newbies want to hear that there are people who are still successful down the line. I know thats my biggest fear. Like, will this tool still be helping me after the first year? It's scary to think that I've gone through such a major procedure, and worked on so many habits and life changes, and the restriction will only last a short time. So to hear that you still have restriction is very reassuring. I hope you feel better soon from your skin surgery!

Congratulations! May you always and forever be as happy as you look now!

Very similar in style to the skirts I had made when I was larger (except mine are longer). I am going to see if the lady who is doing some alterations for me can run up some basics for now.Sorry for eavesdropping But, I've found great skirts that don't cling at Dress Barn... Good luck!

Me too! Me too!

I'm so glad for your new life! Enjoy every moment!

P.s. this is exactly as my doc recommended for me. Ask your team!

I began slowly at 2 weeks (treadmill, bike). At 4 weeks, i began my regular workout (including weight machines), but took it slow. I am now 5 1/2 weeks out and I love going to the gym!

I am a month out of vsg and am dealing with very hard, dry bm. Any advice?

Lol!

Awesome! Congratulations! You are an inspiration

Hi, all! I have some soreness behind my belly button that started about 2 days ago. Should i be concerned? Any experience with this? (i am 5 weeks post sleeve)

Thanks all for the responses and advice! I work out 5 days a week and try hard to get in my fluids. I think i need to work even harder on my fluids... Water bottle, here i come!

Thank you!

Yeah. Not sure how everything ties together..
