Don't feel bad! My first week I lost 6 lbs and the second I lost a little over 2. I got the same way worrying why it wasn't coming off. I think we all get the idea of how much we should be losing and get frustrated when it doesn't happen for us. Hang in there! I'm sure you're still really swollen and gassy too. No doubt it'll come off sooner than later! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I am the same way on pureed food what did you do about being hungry at night if you don't mind me asking thank you in advance Sent from my HTC6525LVW using the BariatricPal App Not at all! I try to eat sugar free applesauce. I'm thinking it's because my monthly is like right around he corner, because even after that I'm still starving. Not going to lie though....I did sneak a couple veggie straws one night just because they melt in your mouth. It did help but not trying to make that a habit.

Trust me I know exactly how you feel! It's crazy because most of my hunger comes at night. During hours that I def shouldn't be eating! It's the worst Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one! The only thing that makes me nervous is that this is happening so early on in my journey. I'll be 3 weeks out on Thursday and am supposed to get it the 11th and I'm starving! Whenever I eat I'm fine but I've noticed more so at night I can't get full! Not gonna lie...I've been cheating a little with veggies straws since they basically melt in your mouth...but even with those a half hour later I'm starving again! It's driving me crazy!!!

No mam! I went through the same thing. My surgeon prescribed me with some anti acid medication and told me that would help. It has subsided a bit but I noticed with Water it still happens. He said it completely normal. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Best of luck!!! I'm sure you'll do fine! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Aghh that's like my short term goal! Not gonna lie though...I feel like I'm losing slower than I expected. 2 weeks post op I was only down 8lbs. I know everyone loses different but I've heard of people losing that much in a week! Guess it all depends on the person. Anyway good for youu!!! Congrats on your progress!

Believe it or not if you have a costco near you they literally have everything. I was able to get Multivitamins (for women), Calcium d3, Biotin and B12. Not only are they bugger bottles but they're also a lot cheaper than anywhere else. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I was the same way. After about a week post op one of the nurses said I should have already gone and told me to.take milk or magnesium. That def got things going. Ever since then I've been regular. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I'm 2 weeks out and am finally able to sleep on my stomach. I feel your pain! I was miserable for a couple days beforehand Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Just moved on to puree also...don't see my surgeon for another 2 weeks Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I also had a hernia repaired and that's exactly how I felt. Did does get better and better as the days go by. I had mine done the 17th and I'm just experiencing incisions that are super itchy and just a little sore Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I was told I would but I didn't. Post op I just asked for non narcotics because I knew that they made you sick and didn't want any added discomfort. Worked just fine for me. By day 2 I was off pain meds completely. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Yes it happens when I drink water too. See.....that's why I think it's normal. How are u doing other than that super annoying pain were both getting? Lol Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App Other than that I'm doing really well! A bit hungry most of the time but no complaints. Getting a little stir crazy so I actually can't wait to be cleared for work and the gym! How are you holding up? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

It took me a little over 2 weeks to get an answer Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Same. It was given to me on my tray in the hospital. I even went to my favorite coffee shop a few days ago to get a cup of decaf and wasn't really into it. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Also I am also a fan of the premier Protein shakes I was advised not to drink them right away, as they contain milk and it might irritate my new stomach, and they were right. I was able to get them down, but with a lot of discomfort. I was instead told to only drink Protein Shakes whose first ingredient was whey PROTEIN ISOLATE. Not blend or concentrate. The Vitamin shoppe has a really good brand called bodytech and it's actually really good. I went to GNC and noticed that they had one also that was their own brand. Hope this helps!!!

I had mine done on the 17th and the same thing happens to me. And not only when I eat. I could be drinking Water and I'll get the pain. Everything sits well, it's just going down everything seems to hurt. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

That was one of my biggest fears before surgery! I got mine pierced in may and was not about to take them out in fear that they would close before I could get them back in! Thank goodness my surgeon and the nurses were ok with me having plastic ones in! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Good luck!!!! You'll be fine! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I'm a couple years older but I'm currently 9 days post op gastric sleeve! I'm 26 and so far so good! I also know someone who is a couple years younger than me (not quite sure of her age) and she had the actual bypass done and she looks and is doing great! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I actually woke up from surgery with one on. Highly recommend it. Without it I felt like my stomach was dragging on the floor. The added pressure helped me a lot. If your surgeon can't provide one I would def go out and get one. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I have it also. Two actually where my two biggest incisions are. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Im currently 9 days post op and I am a LOT hungry! I'm hoping maybe it's just because it's the holiday season and I see all the food around that I can't have any of. Hopefully the puree stage will be a little easier. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I'm the same exact way. I had mine the 17th and literally everything I try to "eat" causes temporary cramping. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
