The limited edition all red box of sugar free popsicles is my jam.

I bought the sugar free bomb pops (red, white, and blue) on someone's recommendation, and they're OK? But all I really want are the red popsicles. I hope they're lying about this "limited edition" thing.

I’m in Canada and can’t find the sugar free pops ANYWHERE. I must have looked at 20 places or more. I’ve been making my own Mio-popsicles, and they are ok but I would love a real popsicle

So, my follow up went well. I had to eat food that I could smash with a fork and flaky fish for the week. I can move on to solid food. I'm nervous because everything I eat or drink makes me burp non stop. I dont know what's going on. This morning I couldn't finish a scrambled egg and Beans. I burped so much I ended up throwing up some. This is crazy. I even keep chewable anti gas at the dinner table and one on my nightstand.

Anyone else have this issue? Will it stop?

So turns out I was feeling so awful because I got an abdominal infection from the surgery. It wasn’t a leak, but something got into my system and created an abscess. I spent 2 weeks in the hospital on strong antibiotics, being fed through a tube, but luckily, no corrective surgery was needed.

I’m home now, eating puréed foods and slowly starting more solid foods. I’m feeling so much better. I’m a little over one month post op. Down 33 lbs since I started the preop diet and down 21 lbs since surgery! Feeling great. My BMI has gone from 42 to 34.9 - I am officially, only Obese class 1!

I had pain that felt like a pulling inside. Like a pulled muscle.. apparently scar tissue forming or breaking and normal. Not sure if that’s what you have but could be.

PSA!!

Do yourself a favor and buy the Bariatric Advantage Vitamin chews and calcium chews. Life changing vitamin experience. They are almost a starburst. I was struggling with everything about my current Vitamins. Make sure you can have them at what stage you are on food wise. You can order through their website.

Today I had my 6 week post op appointment and was cleared for all foods except beef and raw veggies!! A good day!

How many weeks out are you? I know a lot of people have difficulty with egg. It goes down for me but it certainly sits different than other foods. I had some hiccups after only a couple of bites of egg white yesterday. Does it happen with all foods or just some of those higher stage foods?

Hi. I am scheduled for December 11, but have a question for you guys who have already been through surgery. How soon before surgery did you stop taking medications such as Celebrex? Were there any other medications that you were required to stop taking prior to surgery? Or get other formula for - liquid? I don’t see my doc for pre-op until 2 weeks out and I don’t want there to be any surprises that might postpone surgery.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
