Hi guys! I'm post op and feeling fine. Nausea is kicking my butt but getting up to walk really helps and actually feels good. Gas pains are weird. They are uncomfortable but it's almost like my stomach is super hungry like you now how your stomach growls and it hurts? It almost feels like that when the gas moves except upper chest. Surgery went really well and so far recovery is going great! I just keep falling asleep due to anesthesia.. Still trying to work that out of my system. Good luck to everyone! So happy to be on the losers bench! Sent from my SM-G892A using BariatricPal mobile app

Butterball Turkey bacon is the best! I actually like it better than the pork bacon! But that's the only brand I'll eat Sent from my SM-G892A using BariatricPal mobile app

Here's my blaze in my wrist for sizing. It is bigger than a normal ladies watch but it doesn't get in the way. Hope this helps!

I'm a lady and I just got the blaze and I love it!! I love the exercise part built right in if you need a quick boost! I had the alta previously for 2 years and loved that one too but I like how much more I can do with the blaze. Sent from my SM-G892A using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah, day one was a mess for me too. Haha, but after day one I kind of pep talked myself into why it was important for me to do this and now I've been doing so much better. I'm on day 4 now and I still get hungry so I make sure I always have a shake with me so I'm not tempted. Sent from my SM-G892A using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks! It's at 10:30, I have to be there by 8:30 though. I'm the second one of the day. It's my first surgery so I'm kind of nervous but definitely more excited than anything! What about you? Sent from my SM-G892A using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello!! I'm scheduled for Monday the 11th. I'm on day 3 of my liquid only diet. Its been a struggle but I've basically been living off broth and shakes. Plus side is that I'm down 5lbs in 3 days! Woohoo! Can't wait to have the surgery done with and the lbs melting away! Sent from my SM-G892A using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello! So I'm on day 1 of my liquid preop diet. It's been rough but I'm getting through it.. My question was for any suggestions on non sweet protein ideas. I'm not allowed to have any solids and only 1 yogurt every other day. Broths are approved and that's mainly what I've been drinking but it lacks in protein. I hate the artificial sweetner taste of protein shakes including premier. I ordered some protein soups and unflavored protein powder from bariatric pal but it won't be here for 2 days. Any suggestions or tips are welcone!!

That's good, I'm dreading not being able to drive! I would love to either meet or do a group chat. If you all are interested, feel free to message me your names and phone number and I can add everyone into a group text and that way we can coordinate a meet up or at least have people to text for questions and support! It looks like most of us used the same surgeon group with bon secour! I think that will definitely help with having the same kind of requirements and dietary rules!

Where at in Virginia? I'm closer to the Chesapeake/va beach area. I would love to see if it would be worth making a meetup group for the area!

I wanted to see if anyone had the surgery while in school? Or right beforehand? I begin nursing school January 8th, and surgery is scheduled for December 11th. I guess my question is how was recovery truly and has anyone had complications where their recovery time was extended? My surgeon requires 2 weeks off like most, but my family is just concerned about if something goes wrong will I have time to make it into classes.

Thanks guys! Yeah for the first 4 weeks its all class then we begin clinicals as well in the beginning of febuary.

Let me know how it goes! I have surgery on 12/11 and start nursing school 1/1 and I'm worried about the long days as well. Make sure you do an update please! Good luck on your journey [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G892A using BariatricPal mobile app
