Had surgery Monday and I'd love to taste real food, I just caught myself thinking how long before I can bite a chicken strip? The struggle is real

If they ignore you and put you off now, they won’t be there for you post op if you have a complication. . I made every excuse for my surgeons failure to return my phone calls or the fact that he was never there and I never could discuss my pain and swallowing issues cause the nurse said I had to talk to him and she couldn’t do anything. It wasn’t until my other dr was angry I was being ignored that I realized how inappropriate it was. And all the very serious complications he didn’t care about have caused damage to my esophagus and sleeve. I now have attempted a revision from sleeve to bypass once which couldn’t be done due to damage at top of my sleeve caused by GERD. so I was referred to a third surgeon to attempt a revision again. I suggest you make it clear that you need to be a priority or find another surgeon who will make you one. I immediately realized how awful the first surgeons office was after getting many additional opinions and no other office treated me like that. Make sure you are confident and comfortable with the person you are letting put a knife to you.

I had the sleeve done on dec 5th. And I feel great. I’ve been wanting everything but I’ve been on my liquid diet and I’m down ten pounds. I went poop got the first time this morning yikes but I’m down ten pounds. So something is working

Sleeved on 9/5 Starting weight 250 Current weight 193 It's been a challenge but I am thankful. Advice: Find your daily protein staples. Identify at least 2 people to be a support. Use a lunch box/bag. Find fun in physical activities again. Learn your body again ( cravings, triggers) . Enter into this journey with a mindset to never look back. Pics coming soon!

Thank you, no wasn't chunky, stringy at all. But, still nervous I am 4 days post op.

Same here 5 days out and nothin ... Just gas!!!! Gas pain!! Sent from my LGLS676 using BariatricPal mobile app

This is when i was on the liquid diet pre op.. (referring to the original post) I’m 5 days post. Haven’t started exercising yet other than walking around. I did some light shopping today so those steps count. I’m 6lbs down jus off of clear/liquid diet post op phase.

So 3 more days until surgery!!! I leave Monday for Tijuana and Tuesday is surgery day!! I’m getting sooo nervous! I’m getting a slight cold I’m trying to knock out. I hope I’m not getting sick and it stands in the way of my surgery....

Congrats! Dec5th

Still in hospital waiting to be discharged. I’m actually feeling great. I’ve been walking around, the pain is minimal. I’m off IV and compressions. I can actually say it’s much better than yesterday! Right now I’m sippin on some delicious water! Lol
