I'd say yes. Just chew to baby food consistently

Has it happened to any of you where you find your able to eat less than you were before? I'm almost 4 weeks out. I have an appointment with my surgeon on the 24th. I'm a bit concerned because when I started soft foods I could take in 2 ounces and now less than one and I'm uncomfortable. I'm having to drink slower too. Anyone gone through this or know the reason for it? I'm still on soft foods and I am waiting 30 minutes between eating and drinking

I'm with you too. I've got an occasional sharp pain in the same place. And pain/uncomfortableness when I try to lay on my side. Had my surgery 4/21

I lost 28 pounds prior to surgery. Just had the surgery 4/21 and have lost 14 since.

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow I'm excited/nervous. Any advice?

Hi I just learned I have IBS and it super sucks I'm sick so often it's hard to know when I can leave the house. I started having symptoms after gaining a large amount of weight. I have not yet had my weight loss surgery but I was wondering if any of you suffering from IBS have had less symptoms since losing a large amount of weight from your surgery. Any info would be helpful Thank you.

I had everything done and I was just about to be able to schedule a surgery date. Then I found out I've got a GI bleed. So now I have to get this figured out before I can move forward with the surgery and if I can move forward with the surgery. Feeling defeated. Anyone with similar experiences?

My sister lives with me and she can pull me off in to the deep end with a snap of her fingers. I'm pre op and I'm really trying to get on track with my diet. And it seems like when ever I do get a handle on things my sister comes in with these ideas to get bad foods/fast food. I've tried to say no but if she mentions something enough times I can't help myself I'm drooling over it and I also feel bad telling her no. I need help, advice. I'm desperate. Who's gone through this and how did you deal? Tia Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I have been waking up for so long, years in fact, with the intent to eat right all day and end up giving up by lunch or dinner. That's one of the reasons I have decided to have surgery. However, in the pathway to get the surgery we are required to change our ways and lose weight in the process. I desperately need advice on how to break the habit. How have you been able to change your ways prior to the surgery? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Everything everyone said. But most importantly for me. I am looking forward to being able to become pregnant. Not having everyone worry that my pregnancy will be unsafe because I'm so big and being able to show with a cute little baby bump Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all for responding to my post. Tracking has been hard for me because I quit tracking once I've eaten something I know will put me over for the day. I really appreciate the advice. I will keep at it. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Can someone please tell me what HW SW CW mean? I can not for the life of me figure it out. I'm assuming the w's are weight. Also are their other acronyms I should know about? Tia Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you so much. Make total sense now Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm at Madigan too. I would say schedule a seminar and make as many appointments as you can right away. You may just barely make it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've got my seminar the third. I'm so excited! I never thought this would ever be an option for me. I'm hoping everything works out Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Anyone have the sleeve through tricare? I'm wondering how long the process is from the surgery seminar to the actual surgery and what kind of requirements they have. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I'm in the area too. Going through Madigan. I'm just starting the process now. November I'm going to a gastric surgery seminar appointment. We should create a local group or Facebook page. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
