Thank you knpoole, I spoke with him already. He wasn't mad at all and said it was fine but that he wants me to stay away from all sweets for the rest of my life due to my addiction and something about how cells have memory when it comes to consuming sugar. I'm fine and doing well. He's please with my progression. Thank you for you're support friend. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

My husband did. There were couches that turned into twin beds and a cot Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

You probably won't have to worry about most of the stuff I mentioned but that was my experience with it. I say you probably don't have to worry because my nurses and surgeon told me I was like in the 2% of people who had a recovery like that. They made me stay an extra day. That you should be aware of too.....if u don't drink enough of those little cups and keep them down. ...they'll keep u there longer. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Okay so, I'm 2 weeks out and guuuuurrrrrrrl let me tell you.....the worst for me was the vomiting. For me it was pretty consistent because the nausea was so bad. Oh and no one told me this but you throw up remaining blood in your stomach left over from the proceedure. It seems like.common sense but it's scared me to pieces when it happened the first time. The second worst thing for me was the hiccups. They were deep in my chest and stomach and you can imagine how it hurt when I hiccuped. The gas pain wasn't that bad because I had gas X strips. Take those with you. They help like crazy. The pain feels like a sorness. It's really not bad at all. It was the least of my worries. It feels like you've just done a 100 situps maybe. Totally tolerable. After the nausea went away and I stopped throwing up, my Dr gave me something to make my hiccups go away and then I felt pretty good. Also, it gets pretty annoying when they keep telling you to walk but it really does help and it gets fun. I was so bored in that bed, I would.nap and then walk around whenever I wanted and it was nice. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I have the same pain. It's not horrendouse but it's uncomfortable and I can tell if I go further it will hurt pretty bad. So I avoid bending over. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App Oh also, I'm 2 weeks out Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I'm curious about this too. I'm two weeks out and 10 lbs down. I wanna know average aswell. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Good luck!!! And congratulations on the date....it'll be here in no time. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Have u had surgery yet? If so, How much did u lose two weeks out? Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App My surgery was in June of this year...at 2 weeks, I was 10-15 lbs down. Everyone loses differently, but it looks like you're right on track. How are you doing with the post-op food plan? As long as you're getting enough Protein, drinking enough Water and getting some kind of exercise, you WILL lose weight, don't worry! I'm doing well with the food plan. Today I bought 2oz containers with lids and that's helped me really see my portion per sitting. I'm struggling with protein. I'm only getting one shake in a day and that's about 27g. Also struggling with water intake. I'm getting about 24-32oz in a day which is about 1/2 of what I should be taking in I believe, but I must say I could be doing worse. I feel good about my ten pounds and all of my efforts. Walking on the other hand.....that's not going so well. I probably could have lost more had I been walking like I was supposed to. That's gonna change. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I'm sorry that this has happened to you. I'm going to keep u in my prayers. I wish I could offer some more support but I would be lying if I said I know what ur going through. I just got sleeved on the 18th of november and this is a new life for me. I hardly know what I'm doing myself. If there is anything I can do for if u just need to talk im.available.

Have u had surgery yet? If so, How much did u lose two weeks out? Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Oh wow. You look amazing. Super happy for you. I was so not taking pictures of myself since I was a crying mess. I kept throwing up.blood and had deep routed hiccups lol. Hurt like hell. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I did those things. I was and am ready. There's a big difference between a mistake and noncompliance. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

No, I won't pay them any mind. I'm glad we all have people to support us and that the bullies are few and far between. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery on the 18th and my stomach kinda hurts when I eat. Is that normal? Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Yes it happens when I drink water too. See.....that's why I think it's normal. How are u doing other than that super annoying pain were both getting? Lol Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App Other than that I'm doing really well! A bit hungry most of the time but no complaints. Getting a little stir crazy so I actually can't wait to be cleared for work and the gym! How are you holding up? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App I'm doing well. Smaller bites and smaller drinks and I'm no longer in pain or discomfort. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I need to lose 8 lbs in two weeks or my surgery will be postponed or worse.....cancelled. NO!!!!!!!!! Any tips? Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Already guys I feel like a jerk because I didn't follow this closely, thanks for all of the comments and suggestions. I did lose the 8lbs and I had my surgery on the 18th of november. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Oh wow. How scary. I was never warned about food getting suck. I was kinda just released and given a packet of what I could eat and sent on my way. Was never told not to eat certain things because something would happen you know so I had no idea. How scary though. Gosh, im.so glad that I'm fine. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I was also sleeved on the 18th and I can't move to puréed until the 9th. They have a very strict diet. I can't wait to be able to have something other than soup, Jello, and Protein shakes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App The 9th is just around the corner friend!!!!! congratulations on you're sleeve and we should totally be buddies since we were sleeved on the same day. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Thank you mom3plus2. I wish you wouldn't go though. Let's just support each other kindly and ignore the things that cause others emotional harm. I'll be there for you if u need me. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App Thanks for your support gungirl!!!! That put a smile on my face. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I'm not at all feeling like " well I did it one time and it was okay so....." I'm sorry you've gained. I don't intend on gaining but also I don't intend on acting like I don't have an eating disorder and I don't intent on slamming my face into some glass or something crazy over a mistake I made. I can't think of any other way to feel more badly over what I did than to turn to physical harm. I don't really know what some members want of me. Lol. It's like not enough that I feel regret, remorse, dred. Forgive me for being happy that I didn't die over my mistake. I feel like some of what you've written here is out of concern but if you would read some of the other posts you'd see that I've been chewed out enough. You've written some things here that have hurt my feelings because you're speaking to me like I'm a dumb child that does not know the consequences of eating poorly. It's obvious that I do. If this was not your intention than fine but im.choosing to take only the things that will benefit me in my life and not the things that will harm my spirit and thanks for the congratulations. Nothing like a pat on the back after a slap in the face. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Also, I understand I could have misplaced some emotions on some concerned members comments but also, there were some things that should have never been said. Those were the things that hurt. But the members like you who really supported me in my time of need make up for all of the rude members Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Thanks so much for your support Malin. Yes everything you have mentioned I've done for almost my entire life. I've done things for food that I've never told a soul because of the shame that comes with it. But yes, I intended to confront my addiction by posting that horrible incedent on here. I thought about deleting my profile once i was kicked around a few times by some rude comments but to be honest i realized that it would hurt me more than it would help me. I need a place to be honest about my addiction and a place to rejoice about my progression. Thank you again for your support. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Mell....I am doing well thank you for checking in on me. and thank you so much for your support. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

They're all different. I've never heard of solid food within a week, your doc must be very liberal!They even told us in our last Bootcamp meeting before surgery that as long as it was 'wet'..soaked gravy, ranch whatever that it would be fine to have for Thanksgiving as long as we could tolerate it. She even suggested a deviled egg too. The hurtle was to be drinking 64 oz liquid before starting soft foods..I'm still mostly liquid Protein with shakes, Soups and chili but I am eating soft protein not problem. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Again, thanks......feel so much better now. I still have some leftover guilt from eating that small.amount of solids on thanksgiving. We should totally keep in touch since we were sleeved on the same day. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App
