I chewed a piece of gum, without even thinking about it. I had the worse gas pain ever, while I was at work. I felt like I was going to explode. No more fun for me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on 11/28/16, and am down 34lbs. I had a b12 shot the week before surgery, then the week after and the beginning of this month. I have one more in February, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I take all my Vitamins, and eat meat with high Protein. I'm doing everything I should, but I am constantly exhausted lately. I was wondering if anyone else has had or is having this same problem? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Can someone tell me how long their journey to surgery took
bajagirlo8 replied to Acsingz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started my weightloss journey march of 2016 and didn't have my surgery until November. Because I had to wait 6 months for my insurance, plus get all my clearances. It all depends on your insurance company. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I was sleeved on 11/28/16. I also didn't see a difference becuz of the gas n iv fluids. I was off work for 3 wks becuz of the nature of my job, and I slept a lot. Plus, look at everything your body just went thru, it needs time to adjust to ur new stomach. It's true you heal when you sleep and by me sleeping a lot, when I went back to work I felt great, I had restrictions of course. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Reward for meeting weight loss goal
bajagirlo8 replied to Hazel_eyez's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was 11/28/16 & I'm down 30lbs so far. When I was waiting to go into surgery, my parents told me that they would take me shopping for new clothes as my delayed Christmas gift lol. So I haven't really thought about what to do when I hit my goal weight. I know that I can't wait to fit in some cute shirts I bought in lrg and xl and not feel embarrassed. I have about 60 lbs to go to hit my goal weight. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
How much have you lost 1st month post op?
bajagirlo8 replied to ncbrandie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 11/28/16 Sw: 217lbs Cw: 186 lbs But I have stalled the last week and half and it's frustrating. But I hv to look at; it took years to put it on, and yes more then half my stomachs gone, but my body needs to adjust. So I keep doing what I'm doing and moving forward waiting for my plateau to move along. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Transtioning to solids?
bajagirlo8 replied to avremy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started soft foods about a week and a half ago. I have so far been ok w eggs, but hard boiled seem to work better and don't make me nauseous. I also eat light string cheese, I have also tried ground turkey patties, chicken, melons, and cooked spinach, broccoli and mushrooms. I have also ate a banana w smooth Peanut Butter too. I haven't had a problem with anything so far. Just getting tired of the same ol stuff. I just can't wait to eat raw fruits and veggies and eat a spinach salad.

HELP! Freaking out - need honest feedback
bajagirlo8 replied to minervaxx6's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery for the sleeve on Nov 28. I had alittle bit of pain when I first woke up, but they give you med for that. I had gas from the air they fill your stomach with, but my nurse gave me baby gas drops which helped along with walking. I'm a sissy when it comes to pain, that's why I don't have kids. Lol but the pain was tolerable for me. It is all based on your mind set as well, don't worry about it. I just told myself that the pain is temporary, but the outcome is worth it for your health and rest of your life. I only stayed 1 night in the hospital, the more you move around the better. Gas x strips work wonderful as well when you get home. Don't freak out, you will be fine. Don't think about it, I know easier said then done. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
