Oh, and I have been having some BM since day 5 (yesterday). Who'd ever thunk I'd be so thrilled to poo! Sent from my XT1052 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hard to do, but remember you are choosing to gain weight back. You may not realize it, but everything you put in your mouth is a choice. You didn't sit down one day and say I want to gain weight, but every time you take a bite of the wrong stuff or too much you choose to do that. Nothing is easy about it, otherwise none of us would be here. I find the first thing to do to get back on track is to be accountable. Track every single bite, count calories and then it will likely be very obvious what needs to change. Unfortunately it's harder once you're out a while from the sleeve and it's more like a regular diet. I'm personally going through this now and being accountable has helped me get back to where I should be in terms of eating. Don't give up. It's a life long battle and you haven't lost

If you cheat, and go out of ketosis, you refill glycogen stores which can carry 2 molecules of water each. It's possible to gain 2-6lbs overnight after cheating.

I made lentil soup during this stage. I just pureed it so it was chunk free. Definitely my favorite thing from that stage.

I have been using a heating pad, not with moist heat though because the steri-strips came off that incision (like they were supposed to) but part of the wound looks/..icky to me, its healing but I don't want the scabby part to open it's weird looking. Luckily my sister and my aunt and other aunt and best friend are all nurses, they said the wound isn't infected or anything, just to be careful of it but at this stage no bandage. Sooo..a heat yes, but not moist as of yet. See the surgeon Tuesday, but the pain is really nasty at night

Don’t be mistaken - I never COMMENT on the fitness and exercise threads!!!

Yeah & an air horn noise to follow!

Hey I have 1199 too. Do they require 3 months nutritional visits or 6?

Welcome. I was almost 68 when I had my gastric sleeve August 2017, along with gallbladder removal, hiatal hernia repair and regular hernia repair. It wasn't bad, I stayed 2 nights in the hospital. The worst problem was at home sleeping in bed just didn't work. I sleep in a recliner for at least a week. Pain wasn't too bad either.

I'm so excited! I received my approval today and completed my pre-admissions. My surgery is scheduled for April 25 at 8:00 am. I'm on day four of my liquid diet and so far, I've had no headaches, hunger pains nor have I been "hangry"!!!
