Thanks maybe it's time I bite the bullet and purchase a fitbit Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi peeps, I'm wondering how everyone checks their weight? I've used the scale at rite aid and it's off about 20- 25 pounds(less) from the scale on my doctors office. I try not to focus on the number as much as how I feel, but I like checking at least monthly and right now I'm only seeing my Dr every 3 months; any suggestions? Thanks Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi, Do you find your bathroom scale aligns with your Dr scale? I don't mind purchasing one for home, would just hate for it to say 200 and when I visit my Dr it says 220 [emoji20] Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Lol I'm not sure about "there" but the little bit of booty I had is gone. Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm right there with ya. I've never been concerned with the number as much as I've been concerned about my health and how I feel. Since my surgery, 10.16.17, I've been weighed twice; once at the doctor's office and once at Rite Aid just because I was curious. I see a lot of people live by the scale and I don't want that for me.

Hi Jersey Jules, I'm assuming you're from Jersey, so am I; who did your surgery? Thanks Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

That's absolutely amazing, congratulations Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm taking the entire 6 weeks. Fortunately my job covers short term disability 100% and I'm still suffering very much with fatigue. I'd rather more time then not enough Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi all, First let me say this forum is the absolute best. It's really the extra support that I need. I am 8 days post op and starting to feel like myself again. The discomfort from gas is still there but nothing like a week ago. I'm learning how to get my 64 ounces of protein in and becoming quite creative with my meals (I mix crystal light in my plain Greek yogurt, yum). Can't wait to begin soft solids because then all my protein will come from food. My doctor completed my disability paperwork for up to 6 weeks. I was shocked, especially because I hear of people going back to work after a week. How long have others stayed out? I was thinking 3 weeks but don't want to stall my weight loss by sitting in the house. Best of luck to everyone. SW:311 CW:TBD GW:220 Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi. Yes. My first 7 days were difficult but I survived. My pain meds helped a lot Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Praise God! Sorry for TMI but I feel soooo much better Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm still experiencing soreness, I feel like if I move too much or sneeze too hard, my stomach is going to pop, lol. I have the option to work remote as well but I manage a team and feel more valuable in the office. Best of luck to you Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

That's great. I'm just starting to feel like myself, so I'll probably do at least 3 weeks. Enjoy your first day back Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Wow you went right back to work. I'm a week out but I still have lots of pain so I'm glad I'm not back yet. Best of luck to you Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

So you'll be out about a month? I'm thinking four weeks should be good for me too Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi Mary, No bowel yet, but I'm pushing (no pun lol) Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

gas* not has Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Ok so I'm 7 days post op and starting to hate foods, lol. I'm doing popsicles as well, but have stayed away from creamy soups because I'm worried about extra has; which soups are you doing/ have you done? Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

I really want to do a creamed soup but I'm worried about the gas; which soups are you eating? Did you blend your potatoes too or just mashed Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

Wow that's great. I'm 7 days out and just starting to feel better. I still have some soreness but I think I'm finally walking the gas out. Struggling with getting my 64 ounces of protein, would love some tips Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

I accidentally had some of a protein shake that contained caffeine. I'm 6 days out and worried. Glad to hear there are some regular coffee drinkers and you're all doing fine Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app
