I ordered the samples a couple days ago but haven't received any type of confirmation and my card hasn't been charged yet. Did they send you confirmation right away? I think I may need to call again. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I don't remember if I got a confirmation.... I'd check now, but I can't at work. Maybe call just to confirm? I got my sampler and love it.

I was curious about this! It's something I'll be talking to my nutritionist about! Paleo/Keto. Following this thread! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My first two weeks were totally liquid. Second two are "puréed" which I'm currently in. Eating/drinking enough to get 80g protein and 64oz clear liquids. Walking a few times a day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

If you haven't tried this, run to a grocery store now! I go the day after I drink it EVERY TIME. Thought I'd share with my fellow sleevers

Today I made an awesome refried bean puree. Put half a can in the processor with 1/3 can beef broth, lime juice, cumin, garlic, and cheese. Heated it up and ate about 1/2 cup. I've also been enjoying yogurt! I just recently entered the puree phase.

Doctor told me to drink miralax every night. I also have this Smooth Move tea that I absolutely LOVE.

Hey guys. So I'm getting a little overwhelmed about getting all my fluids in. I just don't know how much I can drink at a time, plus I'm in puréed so I need to eat. Do you think a sip every few minutes is okay? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Why?

Right. Just curious how quickly we can drink. Do you sip every few minutes? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I plan on allowing myself a half a cup of coffee a few days a week when I'm cleared for it. On other days I'll do tea! Either decaf or low caffeine level. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I went two days after surgery to but clearance Christmas stuff at Target! I was tired after, but otherwise okay! Just don't lift. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm in Bedford, TX! Anyone in the DFW area? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also bought those huge calcium citrate chews... I will have to find a way to make them tolerable! But for multivitamins I am taking centrum adult. Don't taste awesome, don't taste awful. I like them.

@@VivVsg Good news! Just heard back from my friend. He said he did smoke after the surgery, but he'd recommend vaping or drinkable oil. He says the oil has THC and CBD which are both anti-inflammatory and can help in the healing process! He says he does get munchies, but he still doesn't eat like he used to.

Nice to know I'm not the only one. Hopefully someone answers with a bunch of info lol. Just googling doesn't cut it for me. I need people with actual experience ! High five btw ♡♡♡ High five!!! Husband and I use it for anxiety and sleep. I'll message my friend today and let you know what he says! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm a marijuana user too, girl! And I'm also curious about this! So I support you I haven't talked to him yet, but the guy I buy from had bariatric surgery a few months ago, so I can talk to him @@VivVsg Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Good evening! I am exactly two weeks post-op today. I am experiencing some abdominal pain in my lower right abdomen, just below my largest incision. I was worried it was my stomach, but that's located on the upper left side of the abdomen, I believe. Any who, anyone experience pain like this?

I know there's a lot of controversy around GENEPRO, but my surgeon's office recommends it. And I love it.

Definitely. I'm an anxious person, so I keep thinking, "Did I sip too much? Should I not have this? Blah blah blah." Seeing my doc today, so I'll ask him about these worries. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi guys! I was sleeved on 12/23. In the day of my surgery I was 419.6. A couple days ago I weighed in at 403.8-- an almost 16lb loss! But I weighed tonight and the scale said 407. For some reason, this is panicking me. I see my doctor tomorrow and I don't want to let him down. I keep thinking, "Did I already mess this up?" But I'm following his directions as best I can! Any advice? (I did weigh in the evening instead of morning. And this was my first day back to work, which was very stressful, so maybe that affects weight? I dunno.)
