I LOVE oysters. I never even thought about how much protein is in them. May have to try and see how well the go down.

Same here! Eating used to be something i enjoyed. Now i just eat because i know i need it to be healthy. I am learning to eat to live not live to eat.

Thats great! I have always loved salads as well. They are def something i am looking forward too and i hope my stomach likes them as well.

I can agree with this as well. The smell of fast food makes me feel nauseous. And I loved, I mean LOVED fast food before surgery. I don't crave it. No bread or pasta cravings either. The thing i miss the most right now. Is Salads. And I'm craving raw veggies like crazy. I still have a month or two before i can try to introduce those. I cant wait.

Thanks! It sounds like i am on the right track!

Thank you! I do feel great! I can tell a difference. My clothes fit better, and all around feel better. The scale is my enemy right now. I am trying to not weigh my self everyday, because if i do and not see a change then i get discouraged. I think your right, with our lower BMI its going to be a more gradual loss. Which i am OK with that, i just don't want my doctor dissapointed. I'm guessing my doctor saw how well i was recovering and how well the weight was coming off at my 2 week appointment, maybe he thought it would be a realistic goal for me. We will see how the next 2 weeks go, and if i don't make his goal, then I'm not going to sweat it.

My sleeve was on 12/29, and i'm going through the same thing. I was doing really well the first 2 weeks. Down about 15lbs at my first post op appt on 1/11/18. So my doctor wanted me down another 25 lbs in a month, i had a stand still the last couple weeks and i have to loose 19lbs by my 2nd post op appt in 2 weeks! I'm afraid he wont be able with my results either.

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words

I have never been a morning person, but it is so much harder for me to get up in the mornings now versus prior to my surgery. And i also feel a little sick as well. After i get up, take a shower and move around i start to feel better. There have been many times i have just wanted to call in.

I should clarify. At my appointment on 1/11/18. i was at 230lbs, and he wanted me at 205lbs for my next appointment on 2/13. So basically 25lbs in a month.

A couple of my fur babies. Parker is a Yorkshire Terrier and WIllie is a long haired kitty. I also have 2 Chesapeake Bay Retrievers named Bailey and Diesel.

My surgery was 12/29 and im down 21lbs. I started exercising this weekend. Got a gym membership. I do some cardio and weights. Going to Start doing Zumba on Saturday Mornings. Its so much fun!

10- Surgery was smooth, recovery was easy. No issues at all. Went to work 5 days post op.

YES! There are sooo many food commericals, then it makes me crave it. I had my 2 week follow up yesterday and had to do my barium test. It wasnt bad, the stuff you have to drink looks like milk, not much of a flavor. It was neat to see it on the screen move through your stomach.

Yes! I just want something I can chew. So tired of soups and jello and yogurt. Thursday I can start my mushy/pureed food. I'm really excited about tuna lol. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

i also had my surgery on 12/29. Kinda similar Story, I needed it done by the end of the year as well, due to all my deductibles and out of pocket being met. The first few days were rough for me, but now i feel really good.I Look forward to each new week to introduce new foods. Im glad i can move on from chicken broth lol. Good luck on your Journey!

I finally went last night! haha. It was such a relief!

Yes i am week post op and i get the same pains too. I try to take smaller sips, but sometime i thirsty and take the bigger gulp and it happens.

Where can i get this tea? I am 7 days post op and have yet to have a bowel movement. I started taking a stool softener yesterday, and I'm kinda feeling the pressure that i may have to go, but nothing yet.

Following, I would also like to know. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app
