So I have come to the conclusion that I have a racer back gym shirt problem. I keep buying more shirts and they are soo cute and they make me feel cute. I am still kicking butt on my workouts and I have decided to end Keto for now. I have been stressing a lot about food and unfortunately, I hold on to weight that way. It is time to go back to just being mindful of what I eat and how much. Although I look great in clothing, I wanted to show what my body looks like outside of it. My stomach is sagging lower than before I lost weight. My arms are sagging and my breast have deflated. With that being said, I would not go back and change anything. I would not give up being able to jump, bike, go shopping easily and feel comfortable in clothes for anything. I would not trade this confidence or happiness. I am soo a peace with myself and my body. The aches that I feel are from soreness of pushing my body, than from being too heavy that my body cannot handle the weight. This journey has saved my life in more ways than I could ever imagine. I do not hide from the world anymore. I do not hide from people. I go out and want to explore. I meet new people. I have been freed from the burdens my weight had placed on me mentally and physically. With being said, "I LOVE MY IMPERFECTLY PERFECT BODY!!"

I think you should be fine. You'll be a week in a half out. Going off of my experience all my pain was gone and I had a good amount of energy when I hit a week in a half. I was sleeved on 9-12 and I don't take any of my pain meds anymore. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm the same way. I can barely eat 3oz of anything dense. I feel stuffed, yet satisfied. I don't mind it because I enjoy the food just as much as before. The most I've eaten of anything is 5.3oz of yogurt. Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app

Agreed. Any my points to the two people in recent days who have poo-pooed the idea of having a phone there after your surgery would be: * Some of us are staying longer than just 2-3 hours after the surgery. My Doctor says "at least one night, possibly two" * My phone is not just a phone ... it has a range of health apps, my music, an app that generates white noise or restful sounds to aid sleep * And, like Williwaw, I have friends and close family (as in my daughter and S-I-L) who don't live in this state or this country that keep track of me. I can deal with an SMS or iMessage if I wish to respond to them. * And, if something is not going well or not going right at the private hospital, I may wish to call my wife, a relative or my best man to come be with me. While some people are not keen on the phone idea, I see something a bit more complex and helpful.

Cream soups to me were anything like Cream of Chicken, Cream of Mushroom (blended), Cream of Cheddar, Creamy Carrot, Broccoli Cheddar (strained) or Tomato. I ate a lot of Cream of Chicken on my full liquid and pureed diet.

Hi I had my surgery on a Friday and could have gone back to work the following Tuesday, but I had a JP drain. Went back 10 days after surgery. Energy level was incredible and had no pain. I have a desk job.

I also prefer the delayed chat feature the message board provides. Can walk away and not miss anything...

Hang in there and gradually change your bad habits. Example: I no longer eat while watching tv anymore. I notice that I over eat when I do that. Also, I've been working on chewing my food thoroughly before swallowing it. I hope that helps.

I'm two weeks post op and have realized when I over eat or eat too fast I will burp. This is a warning sign to slow down or stop eating.
