first month for me was challenging. YES, it does get better! I'm 3 months tomorrow and boy life is GOOD! no regrets here. Hang in there. Everyday seems like eternity but then starts to fly by .....

I was sleeved on 11/8. I had pretty bad pain for a few days but it was managed well without too much medication. It's not easy but the scale moves so fast during the first week that you focus on that! There is a whole thread for November sleevers, do a board search for that and follow that thread.

I wouldn’t expect changes when 2019 rolls in since this is a recent update, but make sure you keep tabs on it just to be sure! 👍🏻

So I am really, really struggling with liquid protein and I'm trying different things. I have found that bariatric hot cocoa, while a bit too sweet, is much more tolerable, and it has 15 grams of protein, and if I make it with Fairlife milk instead of water it has even more. The thing is, the protein source is calcium caseinate, and I see things like whey protein concentrate or milk protein concentrate in most products. Is calcium caseinate an adequate source? Does it even matter what kind of protein it is: whey, soy, pea, rice, etc.? Thanks in advance!

I am excited my puree stage starts on Thanksgiving day. I see some ground turkey with cauli mash and gravy being pureed into some sort of thanksgiving soup thing LOL.. Today i am 5 days post op. Almost feeling back to normal.. still slow on the walking, but getting all my liquids in! I am excited to try puree foods as well. another week and 2 days to go!

Hi there! I also am getting my by-pass on December 3 in Danville, PA!! Best of luck to you!

BariatricPal is launching our own PodCast. The first 12 episodes for season 1 have already been taped. Stay tuned for that announcement 😀

My Boy friend and I are doing a couples sleeve together on December 12th In Tiajauna Mexico we are also self pay. I honestly think I am dreading the pre op diet more than anything....but the thought of being slimmer and healthier this time next year I know will make it all worth it. Best wishes to you all.

Anyone get sick before surgery date and did they postpone or keep your date?I am scheduled for November 19th and I think I am getting sick.I thought it was just allergy but not sure .I guess i will see how I feel Monday and call the surgeon .
