I was fine 6-7 days out and back to almost normal activity within doctors orders by day 10. Make sure you plan for food intake and Water while traveling and celebrating. It is possible, the more you get up and move the better you will feel. Good luck!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can tell in the way the shirt fits you differently in the two pictures. I agree that you are losing weight all over so may not be noticeable to you. Either way you are down 36lbs which is amazing. Keep up the good work. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I recently converted to GENEPRO from premier Protein for this exact reason. Could not stomach another shake. I have put the unflavored Genepro in my crystal lite and it completely dissolved and I cannot taste it. It has made me getting my protein in sooo much easier. When mixing it I have read to be careful with hot temperatures and if cooler temperatures let it set and return to mix in. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my procedure 12/13/16. I am not going to lie you, you will probably go through a phase of mourning/missing the food choices you made previously. You are right things will not be the same, however that is why I had the surgery. I did not want things to be the same. I needed a drastic change to stop me in my tracks from destroying the one body I was given. Mixed feelings at this stage is normal and expect an emotional roller coaster as you approach surgery on the liquid diet. I have not struggled since the procedure(craving food)even with all the Christmas meals/desserts. I am still on liquids until 12/28 then I will start puréed. You can do this but you are right things will be completely different. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congratulations on surgery and thankfully getting that removed. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I would say it is normal and the more you make yourself move and get up and walk the easier it gets. I am 12 days post op and my external incisions are almost healed and the pain is gone. It gets better but also remember you had a major surgery even if the incisions are small. It is like being stabbed by a long knife at each incisions. Good luck and hope you feel better.

I have burped a lot but not noticed a bad smell. The further I get away from the procedure the less gassy I am. Are you able to tolerate Water and other liquids besides the Protein shakes? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The team at my doctors office recommended not weighing for the first two weeks for this reason. Normal and will slowly go away. Focus on letting your body heal and hydration. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was never nauseous and I am 10 days post op. I am getting my recommended Protein and liquids. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I would make an appointment ASAP. I am not that far out but it does not sound normal. Especially the fever is concerning. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How is everyone doing with this change around Christmas? It has not been as rough as expected so far. I thought passing on all the food would be extremely hard but I have no desire to eat the food. The only thing is (not)tasting the food I have made for my family to make sure it is seasoned properly. I just wing it and hope for the best. I hope you ladies have a Merry Christmas. My incisions look wonderful almost healed. I am still on liquids and I am also tired of the sweet premier Protein chocolate. I ordered some unflavored Protein powder for my puréed phase.

I was allowed to eat 3 meals and 2 Snacks. Very low carb and no processed. High Protein with veggies. No fruits 10 days prior to surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I would say yes. Mine was 12-13 and it makes a lot more noise than before but the further out from surgery it is calming down. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had surgery the 13th of December. I am doing well. Sipping Water and Protein. All liquids until the 28th then I can start puréed. Feeling well and moving a lot. Trying to get back to a new sense of normal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

December 13th. I would like to join. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am not sure what the procedure will be at your clinic but my initial consultation was informative. They checked my weight, height. Gave me a lot of information regarding the surgery, pre-diet, and post. Possible complications. They took my insurance information to verify my coverage and find out the requirements. I had my consult in July and my insurance required a 90 day supervised program. I completed that December 6th and had my surgery December 13th. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
