So true, I have to force myself to eat and drink my water Sent from my SM-G781U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi Kevin! My understanding is that the CPAP can put pressure on the stomach from swallowing air, but I could be wrong. I know I'm also not allowed to use straws. All I know is, as much as I hate having to use the CPAP, I can't wait to be able to use it again for a good night sleep! Sent from my SM-S908U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I agree with you! However, I wanted to reassure those who do slip up during the pre-op liquid diet that it's not the end of the world and will probably not impact their surgery.

No, I'm scheduled for sleeve in September, the 55lbs is total loss from my highest weight over the last 4 years with the last 10lbs being since my first meeting with the surgeon in April and trying to eat in a more "bariatric style" mindset, therapy, and more exercise.

I wish I was running, but I have an ongoing knee problem that I really need to get an MRI for. Have a horrible suspicion it may be osteoarthritis. So my desire to return to my non-gym "happy place" has been foiled. I do love the gym, and have yet to join the new local one after a recent house move. So my new low-impact activity is bike riding. I also love a nice walk (great for listening to podcasts), and have plans to re-learn to rollerskate. Because my heart never really left the 70s and 80s aesthetically, and if I was young, I'd be all over roller-derby.

I'm with you on that! I watch people run and wonder how they do that 🤣 it looks like it would be fun though 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you have a buddy, I like to play tennis for fun and good exercise. Sometimes basketball. Really any sport that you find fun is good exercise and keeps you moving. I always wanted to be an avid runner but just cant. haha Even after loosing a ton of weight and being the most fit of my life I just CAN NOT RUN!

Ok so took the vitamin chewable tablet with food and I was ok. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My surgery is scheduled for September 6th. I had my initial appointment with my weight loss center on April 1st. I am also using Baritastic. I have used My Fitness Pal previously, but like Baritastic better. I have been slacking a little, but getting back to it. I am nervous, but so excited.

It must depend on the doctor Sent from my SM-G781U using BariatricPal mobile app
