    Dairy problems?

    The protein mix I have is plant based but I use water to mix it.. I tried milk before surgery didnt like it.. so maybe just use water instead of milk? I use currently Orgain creamy chocolate protein powder its surprisingly pretty tasty.. bought it at Costco Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

    I went towards gastric bypass about 5-6 years ago.. but didnt end up going through with it.. I finally had my procedure last Monday at age 44.. it is what it is.. but I'll say not much changed in my feeling about my weight between then and now.. it went down for a bit then came back up.. if you're ready go for it.. it's all up to you.. I had alot of people in my life pushing me towards putting this off till after the holidays but I just wasnt willing to wait. It's all up to you. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

  10. The biggest thing I'm noticing is I'm getting some serious food cravings.. it's not unlike how it was before.. I haven't given into any of them as I'm just not willing to suffer what I'm sure will be awful consequences.. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
  11. I haven't had issues with nausea since the second day at the hospital. The first couple times what I was puking up were really deep burps then the last time I puked up what looked to me like bile.. I haven't been sick to my stomach since then thankfully and the nurse said it was normal what I was dealing with. It's the end of day four for me, and besides alot of tiredness.. I'm sleeping.. alot.. and my stomach is fairly sore most of the time but besides that I seem to be ok. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

My mind wants to eat.. I keep getting the desire to eat something.. which I'm certain would go badly.. so here I am.. drinking my oj and water mix.. so far so good.

    October 2018 Sleevers

    I just had mine a couple days ago.. the 22nd of October. Haven't felt really hungry yet.. a few random food smells caused me some interest but.. after two days in the hospital trying my butt off to put down two pint sized bottles of water.. thinking of actually eating something sounds pretty impossible.. I'm home now drinking a mix of orange juice and water. Which is pretty difficult but I'm getting it down. To attempt to answer your question.. the actual reality of ingesting things post the procedure gives you a decent amount of clarity.. or it has for me so far. If it hurts to drink oj/water eating anything would just be pure hell. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

    October 2018 Sleevers

    Finally got my procedure done on Monday.. getting ready to go back home now... these hiccupy reflex things are annoying [emoji14] Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
  22. My surgery is on Monday in less than two days. Yesterday, friday I woke up with awful pain in my right foot that as of yet has not gone away. I'm really worried because I really can hardly walk to the bathroom at the moment that they might call off the surgery because of my bad foot.. does anyone know if this will be an issue? Really freaking out honestly. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

    Kind of freaking out.

    I went to the er today.. they put an ace bandage on it, which I'm wearing now and said it might be a sprain.. no broken bones thankfully. She also said there were signs of degenerative disease from carrying all my weight but hopefully that will get better.. 11 1/2 hours till I'm in the hospital.. thanks all for the replies Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
