Hi I'm on fluids for two weeks 40g protein Sent from my SM-G950F using BariatricPal mobile app

When I tried sleeping in my bed, those gas pains were horrible. In the hospital, I had a large recliner that I wanted to take home with me [emoji4] Sleeved on April 25, 2018 HW: 258 SW: 238 CW: 221 GW: 165

I just had my sleeve on Tuesday June 5 & I’m amazed at how many differences there are in post op instructions on these forums! I have to be off three types of diabetes meds & all vitamins until my post op visit in two weeks. I was worried my sugar would drop but so far so good. I did buy Mary Ruth’s liquid vitamins on Amazon but not taking them yet! It’s interesting!

I’m thinking a Phoenix tattoo.

I can eat all the spicy things and sashimi and all...but at going on five years out there are still things that don’t agree with me. Rice and carbonation OUCH. Doughy soft breads are uncomfortable. Toasted are fine but I rarely bother. Too much sugar makes me feel sick—I don’t dump per se but I feel icky. Took me the better part of a year to tolerate eggs. Cruciferous veggies (cauliflower, broccoli, etc) I can only do cooked. Carrots too. I also can’t eat much in the way of refined carbs or I eat too much and gain weight. They slide right through and trigger an insulin response with triggers my binge-y hunger. But it’s a million thousand times worth the trade off. I don’t want to be eating any of those things anyway! I did this to eat healthier not to eat less of unhealthy foods.

I tell them that im eating more protein and eating less and getting exercise and thats it. And its TRUE!

THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR REPLIES🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I feel better now after hearing so many horror stories that we will never be able to eat foods we love again lol. I love spicy food and sushi, thai, chinese, etc. Now I know that I will be able to eat all those hopefully but in tiny amounts👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I just had my surgery today about 10 hours ago and so far am so thankful that so far all is ok🙏🏻! Last 2 years I had 2 hernia surgeries and those were the worst recovery of my life😭😭😭so I was so scared of this one. Thankfully, so far it is much easier than hernia repair!

Oh ... thought of another. I have a first date this afternoon. I always feel self conscience. Even though I put up accurate full body pics, and list myself as full figured. I'm always afraid they'll think, "wow, she's fatter than she looked in pics!" But for the date today, I look better than I do in my pics! I'm 50 lbs lighter, and might be able to get away with listing myself as "curvy" vs. "full figured". So now he might end up thinking "wow, she's thinner than she looked in pics!"
