My stomach suddenly decided to reject solid food. They did several tests and could find no actual problem (such as stricture). Everything I ate would cause severe cramping and vomiting. My pcp that works with the bariatric program lovingly refers to me as a difficult case

CONGRATULATIONS & SAFE SURGERY!

I’m scheduled for Nov. 18th. I found a bunch of protein shakes on sale. Unfortunately some of them may not work but I’ll save them for when I’m working back up to soft foods.

Honestly, it used to take me soooooo long to eat a meal that I eventually just got used to eating lukewarm/cold food. I'm two years out, and even now I'll just eat leftovers straight from the fridge. But if this not for you, there are mini crock pots you could use (or the aforementioned mug warmer). Also, you could try to eat out of insulated bowls?

You will be sore, so you can’t exactly jump to solid food if that’s what you’re thinking , but you can do things like yogurt, pintos and cheese from Taco Bell, I purées a peach slice and it was heavenly. You’ll only be able to eat a few bites anyway at that point so it won’t be too bad.

I just made it into ONEderland!!! Yayy

I am down to 213. It's been 13 weeks. 22 pounds. Scale just doesn't move. Some days I'm suicidal, some days I just say I did all I could

Same! 280, then sleeved 2012! 5 years later gained 50lbs now I saw my surgeon n he said the revision will get me back down but I’m reading others say they didn’t lose after or just 20. How are you doing

Couldn’t enjoy waking up in recovery room knowing operation was complete. So sad. So horrific Anyone have severe pain post op. I woke up in operating room. Crying with severe pain. Wondered why I had this surgery. Wondered what happened. Thought I was dying. I said to person next to my bed I need pain meds. She said your going to be getting pain meds. Or we gave you pain meds. It was horrible. I wasn’t being helped. I would rather be knocked out. I was so looking forward to coming to in the operating room knowing I survived my operation and it was over. But this was horrific. Why did I have to be in such pain. This continued . . . Transferred to room with pain. Had to constantly request pain meds. I shouldn’t have had to deal with so much pain.
