Hi I'm 11 days in and was given the go ahead to add cottage cheese and eggs at one week. I'm doing ok, but the cottage cheese makes my chest hurt a bit. I'm not sure yet what is normal discomfort and when I need to stop. I'm very nervous about hurting myself Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Cottage cheese hurts my chest as well ..

Hi all ! I'm two weeks post op. My incisions are barely there anymore ! dr illan said they were able to just do 3 incisions instead of 4 , which is great : btw.. anyone thinking about doing this .. don't look any further , contact bill n let him set you up with Dr. Illan. The hospital was pristine and the doctors and nurses were above and beyond my expectations.. better then any care or attention iv got here in New York. I'm Still not able to eat anything solid at all . I Attempted to eat some of the inside of of a warm toasted whole wheat bagel, figuring it was nice and soft .. not a good idea . It hurt going down . I also tried cottage cheese .. basically I'm still only able to be on liquids . Just Soups and Isopure Protein Drinks . Anyone else take a while to transition to soft foods ?

I don't really thinks u "need" the Biotin. The most important ones are the B12, a Multivitamin with at least 18mg of Iron , and calcium citrate with Vitamin D. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Tips for flight to Mexico
bellamia1359 replied to speechiegirl's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I checked out the isopure, but they won't allow you to bring it on the plane ... Do you mean purchase the big tub and put it in a shaker ? @@OKCPirate -
