Halloween (can be healthy) Challenge - 10/3 through 10/31, 2016!
Mindy78 replied to beyondgrief's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
243 frustrated 2weeks 2days out and so bloated and swelled not to mention bathroom issues. Hey a lb is a lb though. Just thought it would be more I guess. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App -
I believe the drinking while eating isnt recommended because it flushes food out so you feel hungry sooner after, not that it stretches. There's a video on YouTube about it. Sipping constantly doesn't stretch because it flows through. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I've been doing stairs since day 2 when I got home. I'm 2 ½ weeks out they are getting better. Left lower side hurts a little but not too bad. Hope you get better soon Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Dieing not really but feels that way.
Mindy78 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
2 weeks out, soft foods for a week now. Tried to eat some soft chicken yesterday. The first time I thought I was gonna die for the pain. Just a couple bites. So that was lunch. I went back to my full liquids. Today my new best friend tuna said oh no. 2 bites and uncomfortable, not dieing but ouch. So back to full liquids. Anyone else experience this. I was fine all week eating whatever was on my plan. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App -

It was really tender chicken. Not the first time I've tried it either. It was like yesterday a switch flipped and said nope not eating anything. I did have some pinto Beans tonight a whole 11 beans. No pain but just didn't want to aggregate anything. My Dr was pretty firm on going to soft foods a week ago. Every Dr is different I guess Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App -
12 days out woke up with my hands swelled. Even at my highest weight never had swelling much. Went to the gym today first time in a couple months. Haven't weighed since Dr Wed 251 sw 244 wed which was 9 days post op. I will this evening just to see with this swelling going on. I feel swelled so I'm not sure may just be me feeling off. Started my new Vitamin chews they are tolerable and gave myself my first b12 injection today. So that's how my weeks been. Getting about 48oz of Water, 60+ Protein, about 400-600 cal. Yet feel like I'm constantly eating or drinking. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Stupid things people say when they find out you've had surgery....
Mindy78 replied to Awjones28's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
My friend is a take shape coach. She was reluctant to accept my decision at first. Although their products may have helped me. I was tired of the loose gain roller coaster. We are weight loss buddies though just doing different programs Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App -

Can't be crunchy (I'm on soft foods so that's easy) No strong odor Prefer non refrigerated or something I don't have to cook. Any ideas Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I had rny and I felt the same way. 2 weeks out today. Then today every little thing bothered me. I had 1/4 of grilled chicken chewed very fine. I thought I was going to die. Mind you nothing not one has bothered me since I left the hospital. Some say nerves take a while to feel again. Even Water I feel move thru more than I did Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

I DONT KNOW HOW TO APPROACH THIS
Mindy78 replied to midgelovescookies's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My boyfriend/ now fiancé was so against it but respected my decision. He was worried about the surgery itself and let's just say food is a big part of our life. With that being said. I'm 2 weeks post op. He is my biggest supporter and my accountability. Food is still a big part of our life. We still go out, socialize. I just eat differently. I still cook and love to bake. He gets to enjoy my new recipes. It's not always about them scared of loosing you in a relationship stand point. He was just plain scared. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App -

Your husband sounds like my fiancé. He was just so worried he'd lose me. Surgery anxiety. He's been in my corner and held me accountable, been my nurse and my biggest fan. Surgery was Oct 3rd. Before that he did try to change my mind though, but respected my decision. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Not sure as of wed lost 7 lbs in 9 days. Haven't weighed since. I think a lot has to do with size and cal intake before surgery too but not sure Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App
