Amazing, congrats on your hard work and success

Incision site pain, drain site pain, shoulder pain, abdominal pain? May be gas, normal healing, overexertion ... Figure out where it hurts most and that me give you clues to help when you speak to your doctor

How are you doing now?

Hi did you have the sleeve first or straight into the DS procedure?

Thanks for this, vegetarian resources are hard to come by

My insurance was not as rigorous and didn't require the weight loss or waiting period, so that may be a factor for some. Also the classes vary greatly by center. I received a 4 page book on the diet after surgery and IMHO it was not detailed enough in respect to variations on themes of food groups. So the amount of information distributed can be vastly different and people come to sites like these to glean information from others in similar positions Because honestly at 8pm my Surgeon and NUT are no longer answering non emergency questions...

I had sleeve surgery about 7 weeks ago but can't seem to update my profile

OMG gorgeous Do you also have before pics?

May I suggest flushing at various points in your bathroom session, smaller amounts SHOULD flush easily

Speedy and easy recovery!!

Congrats and welcome!

I was exhausted also but this at merger type of tired caffeine can't fix. May I suggest B12 supplements

Wow, please provide greater detail to help someone else can know the risks you are specifically speak of...

The person that began this thread obviously is an adult and WANTED a consensus from the court of public opinion. That individual can chose to accept or ignore the opinions that they choose. That being said the tone of the topic including the honesty about eating habits deserves honest answers, feels like a public cry for help, when it should be one made to that individual's medical team

And no need to be worried about regrets (you'll see for yourself ) plus I'm only 7 weeks out from surgery so I assume eventually it will become second nature and I won't even notice anymore

I absolutely DO NOT regret getting sleeved, I would do it again in a heartbeat, should have done it years ago. Eating and drinking is just something to be mindful of because the overall success of these procedures depends on following through with the plans and rules without cheating so I never cheat. And that means no eating and drinking within 30 mins of the finish of each session.

Wake up Drink wait 30 mins eat for 30 mins Wait 30 mins Drink.... On and on it goes

That I would live my life in 30 minute blocks...

Hi everyone, I decided to have surgery after a small amount of time (one week after first seminar with extremely diligent research of various medical journals and studies ) and from my first meeting with the surgeon to surgery date was only five months. I feel like the brevity of the experience was an advantage for me not to talk myself out of it. Anyone else have a fairly quick experience?

Not bad but I find that I'm living my life in half hour increments lol

Does a lower BMI mean you'll lose less or slower?

I only considered it after I found out my new insurance (Medicaid ) would cover it without a ton of hoops to jump through unlike my previous insurance Empire

It can be hard to find good snacks and you are now 11months out from surgery so it may become easier to be less diligent with your food choices being on plan if you really want it no one can stop you but this one item may trigger a slippery slope, and no one wants that

6 1/2 weeks out and almost meeting my intake goals. People are noticing and asking questions (I told no one about the surgery ) I also actually consumed 700 cals yesterday, previously I was only getting in about 500 tops!!

Wow, I don't feel so alone anymore I see alot of people here have been waiting close to a year sometimes more and I can't relate Tea
