I have not had any problems at all except constipation and that is because I'm not getting all of my water in. That in it's self is getting better. You will be glad you did this. Good luck in your journey.

It's not a race, it's a marathon. It's not how fast it comes off but that you are losing the weight. Don't be in a hurry. The slower you lose the better you will be able to keep it off. Exercise when you are up to it. Walking helps a lot. Hang in there, you've got this. 💖💖

Hope you feel better soon. 🙂

When I left the hospital I had a script for medication to counter act stomach spasms. I would ask your surgeon if you could get one for your stomach.

When I started my pre-op diet (back in Dec.), I drank a lot of water also, that in itself helped my hunger pains. Ladies you both have this. The end is so worth it. Hang in there you've got this.👍👍👍

I also agree. Any amount of weight lost is a great thing.

You are going to do great. 🙂👍

I was sleeved 12/11/18 and have had no problems. If you over eat (filling you new tummy just one more bite) you can feel sick or can vomit. Just mind you P & Qs and things should go well.

I snack because I don't get enough calories a day. I'm still under 600 calories and my PA wants me to eat at least 600 calories. My tummy doesn't like it when it is too full. I get very nauseous.

I started as soon as I got home.

I had to completely stop a water pill, fish oil. I am now taking all the rest of my medications everyday.

I was told to eat 6 small meals a day and includes 3 small snacks.

CONGRATULATIONS to both of you. 😀

Even if they did lose it "the old fashion way" they can afford all these trainers and home gyms that the rest of us can't.

I would say not to get up in the middle of the night but that is me. I think they got you up like that to help prevent blood clots and to help with gas. I would call your surgeon's office if you are not sure what you should do.

I take my time because I tend to get sick to my stomach if I eat too fast. Just conscientiously slow down and take your time.

Yes, if I drink to fast or to big of a drink I feel like I have big bubble in my stomach and it goes into my back. Just slow down and take your time. I have only gotten to bottles of water in so far and have only gotten all my protein in once. Still haven't gotten all of my fiber in. I am 3 weeks out today.

I haven't had my surgery yet but was wondering if anyone had tried baby foods for their puree meals? I'm just curious.

Congratulations on you weight loss.

Happy New Year and health choices for everyone.

Has anyone ever been so zoned out before surgery that they don't remember a thing? When they got ready to take me down to surgery I was given an injection of what ever and don't remember being wheeled in surgery, getting on the table. I barely remember someone saying this is only oxygen and that was totally it. I don't remember recovery (my husband said I was in there for 2 hours), I don't remember leaving and taken to my room. I barely remember someone asking me if I thought I could walk to my bed (gurney could not be taken in the room). I barely remember stumbling (I had a lot of help) to the bed, don't remember getting into bed.

I turned 63 the day of my surgery (December 11). I am almost 3 weeks out and have lost 29 pounds. I'm just happy that the weight has started coming off.

Okay I had to laugh because that was funny.

Thank you

I'm not sure when my pureed phase will end. I don't see my surgeon until March. I was sleeved December 11, 2018
