Had my surgery on 24th of March. Has been very challenging, mentally and physically draining! However I notice that each day it gets better.

Any pointers?

I'm keeping track of my Fluid intake, taking my Vitamins, using breathing thingy (forgot the name) LOL.

Pre-op weight (prior to 2 week liquid diet): 298.6

Pre-op (right before surgery): 287.3

Goal Weight: 188.6

I couldn't stand cold things either.

Just sip all day and relax even if you have a lot of energy. The worst thing I did was over do it right after surgery.

My biggest issues is feeling full and having to still drink all these liquids. I've only used the bathroom twice today and it hasn't been much. I'm getting worried

Hi. I just had a lap band removed and gastric done on the 21st. Tomorrow will be week and wow am i still sore. Since I "kinda" had two surgeries my doctor expected me to take a little longer to heal. I'm trying real hard to get the Protein in since they say it promotes healing and of course I need it. The lapband stopped working and we had to remove all the saline resulting in weight gain. So I started Gastric at the same lapband weight from 2010, ugh. My diabetes went away the day after surgery. That was amazing. Been researching full liquid recipes so i will post if i find something something really good. Glad to be here.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
