I do not work. I'm a stay at home mom. Which is hard being home all day with food and other bad habits. But I have finally got up to walking a mile on the tread mill. I was so put of shape I could only get to a 3rd of a mile when I started. Hope you are doing ok. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 2 weeks out and my surgeon told me to move to soft food. Cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, chili and ground meats are some of the food I can have. I have no calorie goal or carb goal. What should I be aiming for? I dont want to mess this up. Just afraid to start real food. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I too am cold since surgery, its 2 weeks today. I'm sleeping with socks on and I never sleep with them ever. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

That is amazing. Congrats to you . Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

That's so weird, I didnt think about the coldness as being from the surgery. Figured it was just the weather. I had my surgery on the 31st of January. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I just competed week 1 of a21 day full liquid diet. Creamy soups as In cream of tomatoe ,cream of chicken. Cream of celery , cream of potatoe. cream of mushroom etc. All made with milk and all have chunky bits. Use an emerssble blender to keep to bits gone. I can make a can last all day. Eating a quarter of it at breakfast quarter st lunch and rest in evening. My Nut said to stay away from Pudding and jello.not sure why. No protein maybe. I hope that helps a little.

Welcome to the boards. I was in your shoes last week. I was nervous scared, my anxiety was pegged at high thinking would I fail at this too. Then I had a reality check. I told meself. I want to change, I need a tool to help. I can handle this and I'm strong. I'm tired of being fat. I had my surgery on 1/31/19. The pain was not bad except when sitting and standing using your abs. I had no gas pain( thank god) and walk walk walk. It feels good to get out of bed. My surgeon was funny, he said your not a sick person, dont lay in bed and act like your dying after surgery. So I took his advice and was move active. The pain meds work well, and if you still have pain, tell your nurse, they will get ya something stronger. You got this. You will be on the losers bench soon. You will start your pre op diet soon. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Not to puree yet but good question. I was wondering this too. I have been saving empty apple sauce containers. I figure that's a good starting size for puree. Thoughts?? Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Congrats on your approval. Not to much longer and you will be on the losers bench. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

BCBS of IL. Kept saying that I was having a lapband removal at the same time as getting sleeve done. I had the lap band removal in September and they approved it . We dont know why they kept saying that both would happen at once. The dr. Didnt submit it this way. Also this was the 1st time GERD was part of the reason to deny the claim. GERD was never submitted as a reason to remove lap band. Anyway. We appealed to the state of Illinois because of all this and they told them...to approve the Sleeve.

Thank you so much. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have been big ever since I was a kid. I got married I was 240. And after each pregnancy I gained more weight. I have 3 children. My HW was 350 and had lap band surgery which I lost 70 lbs. Got down to 280. But I've been slowly going back up so had my band removed in September 2018 and just had my sleeve done on January31st 2019. I'm ready to start this new journey and get down to a healthy weight. I would love to get to my wedding weight for my 25th Anniversary in December...

I was released from the hospital yesterday, after one night in hospital. what did you eat your first day? And how much water did you drink? Did you start off with your 60oz of water right away? I have no feeling to eat which is so unreal. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Cant stress enough.. lip gloss or balm . My lips got so cracked and dyed out because of the breathing tube. Also the exceptionally dry air in the hospital. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Anxiety of what? I ventured out today to Walmart. Needed more protein shakes and cream soups. Not allowed to eat pudding or Jello so that's ok. But can have sugerfree popcicles. Found the tropical flavors. No lifting makes it kind of fun. Hubby had to lift the stuff and carry in. ( evil grin) Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app
