This is why I'm terrified of Mirena! It's hit or miss. So sorry you had a bad experience.

Everywhere. A heating pad is worth it's weight in gold! Sore tummy from incisions? Heating pad. Sore back from gas pain? Heating pad. Cramps? Heating pad. Kidney pain from dehydration? Heating pad. Those things work miracles Sent from my SM-T550 using the BariatricPal App

I'm worried about not enough calories! Where am I gonna put 1000? Lol Sent from my SM-T550 using the BariatricPal App

Hello friends! How is everyone doing with their food? My doc wasn't happy yesterday when I told him I was only getting 50g protein and 500cal. Are y'all still struggling with eating enough? I'm cleared for all foods now. Sent from my SM-T550 using the BariatricPal App

Ohhh that's a good point @ - be careful dear, and try to get some protein in there. Mac n cheese is a great comfort food, unfortunately, it isn't a great health food.

Although - what surgery WILL help with is fitting into bathtubs to take an epsom salt or aromatherapy bath! I'm really tall so I don't fit well anyway but hey! It'll be better!

Hi there. If you go and see your gp there is some shakes that are full of everything you need to make you feel better. Even if you add things to it like nuts berries to bulk up but should fill you up with the right stuff Sent from my SM-G925F using the BariatricPal App Oh interesting. I'll look them up and give him a call. I'm doing vanilla premier with 1/2 cup of frozen fruit right now but these sound different. Thank you!

So I had my sleeve surgery 9/15. All things considered, all good. No eating slip ups, am down 40lbs. I can get all my liquid in but struggle with Protein and calories. So come to find out 2 days ago I have to go into urgent surgery - I've had a lot of blood loss and just barely hung in without having to get a transfusion. I'm exhausted, back to only being able to take meds with applesauce, and not sure what to eat to get my strength back. Obviously I wasn't fully healed before the 2nd surgery. My surgeon knows about everything but hasn't helped much. Any suggestions on what to eat to get some strength back? I'm on stage 4, so no restrictions to worry about. I do think the 2nd surgery caused swelling again in my tummy area. Getting a boiled egg down this am was hard. Any help/advice much appreciated. I'm very nauseous from yesterday's anesthesia. TIA

Just make sure to do your research. Sounds like you have it all under control best of luck with your surgery and afterward, pregnancy!

No, no complications. This was to my OBGYN. I'd been bleeding a full month (since 2 days post op) and was not only in severe pain, but losing blood too fast. Doctor's don't know if it's related.

Oh they denied mine the first time too. 15 months to get approval, took the surgeon writing letters and other crazy things. It'll work out!!

I'm also with you. Reading weight loss surgery cookbook for dummies. The world is an intimidating place all of a sudden! I'm still working on protein as well so - don't feel alone!!!!

Ditto on the name calling. We're adults and this isn't the playground.

CROCS. I know that sounds crazy but it's true! We have an outlet mall nearby, and got 12 pair or so for 200. (Some for my husband). I get compliments on them all the time. I have plantar fasciitis so good shoes were important. Don't like Clarks, Dansko is great but pricey. From Crovs I got black sandal wedges with a cork bottom, a pink pattern wedge with cork bottom, gray and red flats (just simple rounded toe), winter closed toe black wedges as well as brown wedges with tortiseshell edging. I got some fun blue peep toe wedges. And probably forgetting some. They are excellent and don't look ugly at all these days. Higly recommend you wait for a sale and try them out. Can't beat the price. Oh and I'm 5'10 , 310 at starting weight. So they held up a lot!

Just go backward if needed. I went back into puree an extra 5 days or so.

Hey what pills do yoi take? Doing some research on how to stop dealing with this mess. TIA [emoji4]

Track it in my fitness pal. It takes any decimal, so I use .33 and .5 a lot. If you finish breakfast at dinner that's the other .5

Ohhhh honey I am so so sorry. I haven't had one in 2 years (Praise Jesus) but they're terrible!! Make sure you drink extra fluid (I know that sounds impossible). Try a good full leaf tea (not in a bag) with cranberry in it. Try Teavana, Adagio Teas, or a local health food store. It's warm and should help. Good luck!!!

I drank g2 for the first few weeks as it was all I could tolerate. Now I'm back to plain Water, full leaf tea, or Vitamin water zero. I gained 2 pounds with my period. I think a lot of us do.

Be careful - I just had my second surgery today for extremely heavy bleeding since the day after surgery. It's been extremely painful, and the last thing I was expecting was to go to the Obgyn last week, ER 2 nights ago, Obgyn yesterday, and into urgent surgery today.

Yes - but as stated above there isn't a cure for fibromyalgia. Hopefully there will be less strain on your muscles but it would only make a marginal change. Load up on b12. Not having junk in your body will make you feel better all around. I literally feel your pain, diagnosed at 26.

That sounds like an urgent call to your doctor. I've never seen or read about that and sounds like it could be an allergic reaction.

I was on clear liquids and Protein shakes only for 10 days. At day 5, I was allowed half a cup of applesauce only because I couldn't swallow meds. chicken? I had my first bite yesterday at 5 weeks. Being in liquids isn't a suggestion... don't do steps early. Don't cheat, as it isn't "cheating" .... this is a lifestyle change not a diet. If you need flavor there are plenty of ways to get it, but eating chicken is not one of them.

I keep my shape even when thin. Hubby likes T&A. haha. I've never been below a size 10 even in high school, no excess fat, on swim team working out 6 days a week. You might keep it. I'm tall, not sure if that has any affect.

Oh cheddar biscuits. Must find a healthy alternative. Those things are the best. Had my second surgery in 4 weeks today and have lost a lot of blood. Wishing I could have a hamburger, not for the junk but because I need some red meat!
