I'm three weeks post op today and they are all itchy they are all healed except for that big one still has a scab . Does everyone still feel pain/soreness to that big incision ? How long till that goes away ?

Miralax works for me and the dr recommended benefiber !

You look amazing congrats can't wait to be in your shoes

I think what happened was the decrease in hormones because you did not take your pill those few days caused you to start or spot a little once you start taking your pill on a regular basis it should go away until you finish your pills for the month !

My dr said it was ok to take ibuprofen as long as I'm taking my zegerid for acid he said it should be fine but of course not to take it on a daily basis but that's for anyone !!! FYI I'm 3 wks post op

After the second day I was fine the preop diet wasn't bad for me I lost 16lbs in those two weeks. Good luck !!

Yes Tylenol is fine , that's what I used to get me through my carb withdrawal the first few days of my preop diet :-)

Hey guys there is an app on my iPhone that's called 5K and it trains you from couch to 5K you can play your music and it tells you when to walk when to run its pretty cool for all of you all wanting to get into running but not sure how to go about it ! :-)

Congrats !!!! Can't wait to be in your shoes :-)

My preop diet consisted of a Protein Shake Breakfast and lunch then dinner I was allowed 4oz of Protein and a veggie and then of course you can have all the sugar free Jello and popsicles for Snacks I always stayed under 700-800 calories daily you'll have a headache the first couple of days but just take some Tylenol and it will pass after the first few days it really wasn't hard you can do it !!!!! I lost 16 lbs on my two week preop diet I felt prepared after surgery on my liquid diet :-)

Single sleever here !!! This should be interesting once I lose my weight so exciting since I'm newly sleeved !! Looking forward to many good things to come :-)

Actually I'm due to start anyday now so I guess that could be it ! I've only lost 8 lbs since surgery I've lost a total of 23 in the past month cause I lost 16 on my two week preop diet ! Thanks for the feedback :-)

Ok so I got sleeved April 11 day of surgery I had lost 16 lbs on my preop diet and as of today I've only lost 8lbs since surgery and my weight has stayed the same the past few days WTH is going on I feel like I was doing so good on my preop diet and the first week postop but now I've been stalled and its barely going to be two weeks post op on Wednesday so I've lost a total of 23 lbs I'm afraid I'm gonna go to my two week follow up on Wednesday and the dr isnt gonna be happy with my progress ! I'm so frustrated I've been sticking to my diet surely I'm not stalled already ??? I need some inspiration haha !!

Starting weight -268

Surgery day - 253

Current weight- 245 (for the past four days ugh)

I've been using neosporin since I got home from the hospital !!! They have healed nicely oh yeah the cream not the ointment FYI!!!!

Premier Protein shakes are the best cause they aren't thick like the others and they have 30g Protein 1g sugar they come in chocolate and vanilla both delicious you can't buy a case of 18 at costco for a lil over $20 I think you can get them at SAMS also !

OMB I've never had Constipation issues I had been losing 1-2 lbs daily and the past couple of days I haven't gone and haven't lost any weight ever since I've been getting my Protein in I haven't been able to go its driving me crazy and making me think I can't lose anymore weight but I'm only drinking two Protein Shakes a day and the rest Clear Liquids and broth WTF this is making me really frustrated HELPPP!!!!!!!!

I am so lost at how people are getting in so much protein! I'm struggling to get mine in and average 40-60 a day! I'm 6 weeks out and just reached the point where I can get in 60 oz of Water. I applaud you ladies! Please share your secrets.

Have you tried the premier Protein shakes they come in vanilla and chocolate and they are the bomb you can get them at costco or Sams I like them cause they are thin and go down like regular liquids I also use the powder that you add to Water but they are thicker and it takes me forever to finish one . Each of those premier shakes has 30g Protein 1g sugar oh and they are inexpensive you should try them

I had a headache for the first few days of my preop diet then they went away my dr warned us of this due to detox and carb/sugar withdrawals just take some Tylenol those first few days you'll be fine !

Premier they come ready to drink I get them from costco but you can get them at SAMs also they come in chocolate or vanilla . They have 30g Protein and 1g sugar . I like them cause they aren't thick and they are reasonably priced!

Amen sista !!! I'm barely a week post op tomorrow and I'm so through with the clear liquids and all the sweet stuff I've never been a sweets person and this is just too much . Supposedly I'm suppose to just have Protein Shakes and clear liquids for three weeks I don't know how this is gonna work out but I'm just gonna take it day by day . My two week followed is next week gonna ask the dr to advance me to mushies cause I don't know if I can go a third week !!!!

Whoo hooo you look amazing thanks for the inspiration !

Good luck

I forgot are you diabetic?

If I was you I'd call the dr ASAP and notify him even if you are a lil dehydrated you shouldn't be having the sweating spells have you taken your heart rate ? If it's consistently above 100beats per minute that's a sign that there is either infection or a leak my coworker works the bariatric floor of my hospital and told me the things to watch for not to scare you but you should really let your dr know how you are feeling that's not normal !
