I was told no potatoes because they are a high carb food

Weight isn't coming off as fast as I thought it would. I've had a few days of not feeling well but so far only 1 dumping episode.

I couldn't have my nails painted but my toes were painted and I was good.

I had surgery on the 6th and I had pain getting out of bed for 5 days after I came home. Try sleeping on an a gle, it makes it easier to get out of bed. It does get better..I'm now 2 1/2 weeks post op and I have no problems with pain getting out of bed now. Sent from my SM-G981V using BariatricPal mobile app

My husband is. I had my surgery on the 6th and he just got in on a cancelation.

Ya I'm thinking thats what I'm gonna need to do too. Just weigh in at the doctor's office. With my husband having surgery on Monday, I'll be back in the office on 2 weeks with him anyway so I can weigh myself then. I can't continue to stress how much I'm loosing because I'll just hinder my progress.

Had my 1st post-op visit today...my scale says I've lost 13 lbs...Dr scale says I've lost 7...6 lb difference!!! WTF!!! Dr says I should only be weighing myself once a week and that I'm doing fine. But I thought for sure the weight would come off a little faster. Sticking with soft foods until next appointment on July 20th. Hopefully I'll see a better loss then. My husband goes in on Monday for his surgery so at least we will both be on the same diet. Sent from my SM-G981V using BariatricPal mobile app

Ya I've been on soft veggies, soup, yogurt, pudding, juice ice chunks, since last week. I haven't had any issues, just have to go slow so as to not get over full Sent from my SM-G981V using BariatricPal mobile app

Both...info I received from doctor herself..she said 1st month post-op I should be down almost 30 pounds. Sent from my SM-G981V using BariatricPal mobile app

Feels pretty good, had a minor set back on soft veggies cuz I forgot the "seed" rule and thought I wad gonna die...so I've back tracked for a few days and feeling better. Weight loss has been slow (SW 250, CW 238, GW 150). Hoping it speeds up some, but I guess steady weight off is permanent weight off. Just thought it would be faster. First post-op visit is next Wednesday so I see what happens then. Sent from my SM-G981V using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm the same way! I'm 1 week post today and I'm so freaking snappy with my husband . He's been approved but waiting on his date. But has slipped into old eating habits and I snapped on him yesterday. I'm trying so hard to stay on task after surgery and it's like he doesn't even care how much he eats. He hasn't gained his required weight back and is still losing slowly but I feel like it won't be long before he gains it back. Sent from my SM-G981V using BariatricPal mobile app

No I wasn't cleared either but I thought (dumb move) that an elliptical was just walking in place, not so much. Sent from my SM-G981V using BariatricPal mobile app

My energy is not there yet, it's all I can do to walk for 15 minutes at a shot right now. I've been drinking Premier Protien shakes (pre-made), they taste much better than the powder. Also Equate shakes, but Core Power protien shakes are the bomb!!! They are a little pricey $2.50 - $3.00 each or $8.00 - $12.00 a 4 pack but sooo good.

I had my surgery on the 6th. I had to start are with nothing but ice chips for 2 days and still felt like I was gonna hurle. And the gas!! I still burp all day!! Still not getting in all my water but getting close on protien. Midsection still extremely tender. And finally felt ok enough to stop nausea meds on Saturday. Just take it at your pace and go back to day 1 and see how you do but make sure you talk to your nutritionist, they may have a few tricks to get you through this. Good luck Sent from my SM-G981V using BariatricPal mobile app

Was doing really good with pain but yesterday thought doing 15 minutes on an elliptical wouldn't hurt (big mistake). Today I am as sore as I was on day 1 after surgery! Still having issues with water intake but protein is going fine. Sent from my SM-G981V using BariatricPal mobile app
