Thank you! I have felt so much better, so glad the nausea is gone, that's the worst feeling! How's everything going for you? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You look amazing! What are your stats if you don't mind me asking? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The hardest part for me was the liquid diet and after surgery I felt like I had made a big mistake. I felt like I didn't think this process all the way through and I could've lost the weight on my own without surgery. All of that changed once people saw me after only 2 weeks after surgery and could see the difference. Tomorrow will make 4 weeks since I made the decision to have surgery. I was walking through the grocery store last night looking for different items to incorporate into my lifestyle (I don't like to say diet because this truly is a lifestyle change) and I noticed the middle aisles of the store didn't entice me as much anymore. I even laughed to myself because there is halloween candy out by the door and normally I would've bought a couple bags for my candy bowl for visitors at home, however, I walked right by it with no problem. I NEVER thought I would get to this point and I'm so grateful my mind and my tummy are on the same page. During the liquid stage the first couple of weeks I broke down twice (once over a can of Pringles and once over my husband's meal from chicken Express lol). I cried over food because it was my comfort for so many years. But now I realize I can eat and be satisfied without eating some of the things I used to. Honestly without all the grease and carbs and sugar, I have felt so good and alert as well. This point was unintentionally long but I hope that it helps you in your journey. Oh and hi @@Sai!

When I went for my follow-up appointment post surgery last week they told me they found it during my endoscopy but wanted to wait until I am 6 weeks out to start me on antibiotics to give my stomach a little more time to heal from surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello how are you feeling? How did you surgery go? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App much better today, still sore yesterday was hell. how are you feeling? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Hey, I still had some really strong gas pains this morning, but my husband got me out of the house and we walked around Walmart to pick up some things. By the time I left out of there and got back home, I was hurting. However, I was able to take off my dressings today and shower and I feel so much better. The swelling in my body has gone down quite a bit. Yesterday was rough for me too. I was nauseated the entire day. Today it's pretty much gone. Thanks for asking!

Hello, mine is getting a little better, my body feels stiff and I'm finally passing gas and burping a little more (tmi sorry). I tried to eat a popsicle yesterday but was too nauseous to do so. Make sure that you are walking, that will somewhat help with the pain. My stomach still hurts a bit because of the gas, but I'm doing better with each day.

*I meant your recovery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App No, but only because I told them that I have a history of being nauseous, motion sickness, car sickness, boat sickness, you name it hehe. What they did was prescribe me Ondansetron (dissolve in mouth tablets) so I took that every 4-6 hrs or as needed. It really really helped.I have those as well. I still have about 3 hours before I can take another Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
