Hello everyone. I had my surgery (sleeve) on Wednesday 11/14 and I’m a total wuss when it comes to pain and discomfort and am regretting it so bad right now. It hurts to drink anything. I’m nauseous. I don’t mind the stomach soreness much (just feel like I did a bunch of ab crunches). I’m supposed to be drinking my protein shakes but I’m scared to even try lol sucking on the popsicles give me cramps and I know this will “pass” but I keep thinking, what if it doesn’t. I feel stupid for typing this :(

Note to self: Remember, "You're sitting in the suck right now!"

In the beginning I would get a big cup of ice and slowly sip it as it melted. This way I didn't cramp or take sips bigger than my swollen stomach could handle. It gets much better after the first week and then each week afterward.

Let's help each other stay fit on our new journey! State your location in hopes to find a match I'm in DC on the line Maryland and looking for someone to workout with!

Yeah, there are some things that we will learn the hard way, unfortunately.

I had surgery 10/22. I used to drink the Vitamin water zero, but now find them too sweet. Unsweetened applesauce is my sweetness limit so far. Sent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh my goodness... I am no longer obese. Holy freaking cow. I feel like this needs a celebration this weekend

They are SUPER controversial due to lack of "proper" studies, but after discussing them with EVERYONE on my medical team, I was approved and they have been working quite well (for me). I'm using PatchMD patches, which yes, are the ones BP sells in their store.

I have been lucky. I was sleeved on the 8th. I am lucky and so far like or can tolerate everything i am drinking. However as wierd as it sounds the only protein shake that taste wierd to me.. is the chocolate one LOL.. Of all of the flavors i am drinking the chocolate is the worst, cookies and cream is second worst. I am hoping i did not lose my love for chocolate LOL.

I was going to my aunt's and told her about my surgery, thought everything would be cool. Just found out we are going to my cousin's house with her. I barely know him and his wife and there will be 16 people there. Hope no one notices me pushing food around on my plate and not eating it. Maybe they have a dog?
