    First Week Tips

    Day 3 post op for me. Most of my fluids are my isopure drink. I'm trying hard to meet liquid and protein goals, so isopure seems to be my best bet. Once I'm able to tolerate more than a sip at a time, I'm sure I'll be able to add in broth, popsicles, etc. I took my pain prescription at bedtime and I slept 7 hours! I'm super excited about that LOL I am walking a bit every hour, so I think that may be helping to tire me out at night too. During the day, I sit myself up with a ton of pillows behind my back and my head, and another one across my belly for support. I tell myself that my body has gone thru physical trauma just a few days ago, so I'm supposed to be sore and uncomfortable. We'll feel better with each day that goes by, and if we stick to our program, our rewards will be huge! Good luck to us both! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

    After effects

    I am 3 days post op and I’m experiencing diarrhea and chest pains when I breathe in hard and drink gulps of water. Has anyone else ever had these issues?

    I can’t drink enough fluids

    Does your dr know that you can't tolerate even sips? My dr wouldn't discharge me from hospital until I could manage 3-4 oz within an hour. I think you should contact your bariatric team asap and let them know what's going on with your body. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

    Pre-OP Diet Blues

    My surgery is the 15th. I told my nutritionist I was worried I’d cheat on the liquid diet (2 week) and they were able to accommodate me by changing mine up to allow a little food. However with that being said I have chosen to miss my family’s get togethers for the holiday because I was worried I would be to tempted. Feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to if you’re tempted to eat. You’re almost to your surgery date just have to stay strong a little longer.

    After effects

    I had same problem breathing in. So much preasure in my chest. Hiccups and yawning were the worst feeling for like 3 weeks. I did that air breathing in and out thing a few times a day. Diarrhea lasted i think 2 weeks or so then turned into constipation. Im one month post op and still hate drinking water its annoying.

    Sleeve to Bypass for Weight Loss

    to answer any questions off of the bat... my sleeve was successful in terms of moving things forward. I lost the 100 or so lbs right away, haven't gained it back, solved a significant health problem, and can run! I can get down to 295 or so but I tend to bound to between 310-320 and stay there. Just looking to take the next step.

    I am 3 days post OP and I have painful hunger pains. I guess it's not completely uncommon. I was surprised though considering I thought I wouldn't have hunger pains after surgery. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

    Goal after I reach my goal.

    With 39lbs left to go before plastics in November, I am starting to look towards my next goal. Last weekend, my coworker expressed that she was embarrassed at the gym because she didn't know how to use any of the equipment. I went in an hour before my class with her and showed her a lot of things. I timed her wall squats, showed her proper form, and every time she would say she sucked or was weak, I was the opposite of my usual self and was very motivating and encouraging. She even offered to pay me for the session! I've been thinking a lot about this and how great I felt helping someone else. I think I want to pursue a certificate in personal training in 2020 and do that part-time. It was so fulfilling! And I found myself echoing the things my trainer tells me. He's rubbed off on me!
