I'm day four, tomorrow is day five and I'm going to work! I'm excited. I've done well health wise. Didn't need gas x or nausea meds, and I just room first and only dose of pain meds. I also pooped today! Increased my liquids and resolved my mind to do the right things. I truly believe you feel better each day, walking works/helps and so does support. If you are not feeling better each day, outside of particular side issues, something might be wrong. I see the Dr. day after tomorrow and will report how work and that visit goes. Stay encouraged. Stay health. ???? Sent from my iPhone

I had a few spoons of puréed broccoli cheddar soup yesterday and today. I feel bad. I did feel better just tasting something not fruity or chocolate (Protein and Vitamin mix). But it really doesn't do anything for me. I'm starting to feel a little depressed. ???? Sent from my iPhone

Come now. I just saw you chewing out and name calling someone for asking about the AA sleevers thread. I've noted your help. I'm asking you, respectfully to leave my thread alone. Thanks Sent from my iPhone

I'm feeling sorry for ever thinking I could use this app. This "matching" user is a habitual attacker. Negative Nancy for real! Sent from my iPhone

For real. I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't bring that drama to my post. Thank you Sent from my iPhone

Ugh. Cranky much? Don't attack me. This is how I deal. You obviously deal by trolling. Yuck ???? Sent from my iPhone

I've got no words...I'm not one of those chew and spit food people. I just found some bread in my bag and it's been several weeks since I've had any. Never had it from Panera and I just wanted to taste it. And that vivid description came after the fact, in hindsight. I'm thinking that's what anyone witnessing it would have perceived. Sent from my iPhone You licked it, gnawed on it and then littered with it. Have you considered counseling to help you with your food urges? Yea. I'm sitting in my surgeons office now and a referral is on my questions list. Although I don't think I had a "food urge" I made conscious decision. I have a house full of food, including several types of my favorite breads. I just wanted to know what Panera breads little loaf tasted like. Geez. PS: I slowed down and tossed it into a waste drain. Sent from my iPhone The app is the point. What's the point of posting your comment? Sent from my iPhone

Hold out for the queso! Lean on some siphoned broth to get you through. Panera breads chicken noodle, strain away everything. Delicious. I'll see my surgeon in a few hours. I'll be moving on to full liquids too! Sent from my iPhone

Sorry, I think this is pretty bad "advice." It's like telling someone it's okay to walk in front of a moving train because you did it and didn't get hit. Just because you didn't have a discernible problem, doesn't mean the rules aren't there for very good reason - to keep people from having serious complications. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App I started this thread with the intention of confession, not coercion. I think the rules are very sound and should be followed. Just putting my experiences out there open and honestly. #safespace #dontjudgeus Sent from my iPhone

I love cheese! But probably not a good idea Sent from my iPhone ???????????????????? And that one sent me to bed smiling Don't do that! Sleep!! Sent from my iPhone

Walmart has these panty girdles (up to 3X for sure, maybe bigger. Get the loose one, it's more meshy, the tight one feels more smooth (hard to explain). Get a size up if you can. Or I've heard people say binders. Or those Walmart work out pants that are high wasted. That's what I've been doing. I'm gone put on my girdle tomorrow. I'll let you know. Medicare and rest. Try again tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone

When I feel hungry I want all the food. But it isn't too intense. I just know that if I don't have those few spoons of full liquids I'll feel deprived. I'm a natural born rebel so if I'm feeling like that I'll do something stupid like eat some waffle fries and chic fil a sauce. So I dip my toes in the Water. Now I'm not suggesting you eat tacos but spooning the juice off some chicken tortilla Soup probably won't hurt. See. Im just a little bad. However I never push my body too far and you probably should just hang in there Sent from my iPhone

I'd think it's too soon to get pregnant. My surgeon and the entire surgical center staff tested and stressed about pregnancies really hard. Can have complications. Sent from my iPhone

I cried and had a panic attack immediately after waking up. Haven't cried since. I was sleeved 12/29. Progressively better. I think it was all the up, out, and about I've been doing. I drove the next day. Been out every day since. Went back to work today! My bio glue doesn't thank me for it but I haven't been in pain, 2 days no meds of any kind. My stomach actually growled today! But I haven't experience too much smell nausea. And YES! family will taunt you, not really maliciously but they can't understand what you are going through and they wanna see you react. This forum is here for you. It gets better. Deep breaths. Short walks. Sip sip sip. ???? Sent from my iPhone

Cautionary and confirmatory. I stopped with the broccoli and cheddar soup because I didn't like it. Since the original post I was all clear liquid. Today, like just now, I tried Panera bread tomato soup. Tasty but was chunky so I wrapped it up until I can strain it at home. I'm due to start full liquids tomorrow, and like 3 spoons fill me up so I'm going with it. I'll be easily compliant on soft foods as I have tons of veggie recipes, my mother in law is vegetarian from India (cauliflower rice is the bomb.com) I've been feeling well today. I finished an entire short coffee..over about 3 hrs, but hey. An entire 8oz Water bottle in about an hr. And I got down half a bottle of premier, until my stomach started growling and I started craving a foodie flavor. PS: I didn't know soup came with a little loaf of bread! I licked all over it and chewed on a corner like a dog with a bone, then tossed it out the window. Had to be a sight for the lady riding next to me ???? Sent from my iPhone

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal AppI'm with you both on the same day. Can't seem to shake these hiccups. Come out of nowhere. Even when not eating or drinking. How are you doing? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App I had random hiccups too. I'm back to work today. I feel fine. I slipped and had a little cheddar Soup but I've been obedient since Sent from my iPhone

Good riddance to him! No better time to be single. You can focus on you. Damned cheater. Sent from my iPhone

I noticed I get a spike in what I'm able to get down at night too. Maybe tummy swelling reduces throughout the day. I'm 5 days out, 9lbs down Sent from my iPhone

I've lost 9 since surgery day. A total of 21 since starting pre op diet. The quick return was a motivator to keep me moving and mastering my new normal. Sent from my iPhone

You've got the liquid Tylenol right? Likely need some Water. Sip sip sip and walk it off. Sent from my iPhone

I'm not going to do it anymore. I have until Friday to start full liquids. I was just disappointed. I'm not going to stress too much cause people actually are allowed to eat eggs on the 3rd day. Sent from my iPhone

I've had the same experience as you. I'm 4 days post op but did a week of liquids and now my wedding band is loose. The same band that started squeezing me so tight I could only take it off at opportune times. It feels good. Sent from my iPhone

Hi all. I just wanted to tell me story as I was just sleeved and found the app. I am 28 yrs old. Been overweight my entire life. I started dieting and exercising my senior year in height school, fluctuated up and down but trended down all throughout college. My max weight at the time was 300lbs after having my first child. My min weight was 220 before and after her. I got to that number by counting calories, and exercising 1.5+ hours a day. I got pregnant with my second child (2015) and started gaining massive weight. I topped out at 320 at delivery. I knew that I wasn't in a position to spend so much time to get the weight off without the surgery. I know all the do's & dont's But I am a wife mom full time student and I work too So I waited until the semester was almost over and started the process. Crazy thing is it took less than a month! I went the hernia repair route, never had a hiccup. Now, 2 days post op I'm feeling ok. Sipping on Water mostly. Walking a lot to keep the gas down. Taking pain meds gas x and nausea meds. I do feel like "what the F did you do that for?!" A few times a day but then I think about the anxiety getting dressed and facing the world at 320 caused me and move on. I just did not feel like myself at that weight and took action as quickly as I could. I hope each of you are successful in your journeys. Be happy healthy and whole Tess Sent from my iPhone
