I dont regret it at all!

My stomach was swollen & blooted for about 4-5 weeks. Everyone is diff tho. Some hv said thiers hv went dwn within a few weeks. The honest truth about my surgery...when i woke up from surgery I was in severe pain & my back hurt the most. Not sure why but it did, but each day the pain ws subsiding. I had a very speedy recovery & started a new job 1wk later (desk job). The main issues i hv had is drinking fluids. Very very super doper cold i do good with, hot tea i do good with but inbetween it doesnt feel so great. So i hv struggled w tht. Im 6wks out & i do very good with tuna, backed fish, hamburger mt (i dont do this often), grilled ot roasted chicken, lunch meat...starch foods such as mash pot & mac&chz if i eat i eat very very slow. I hv to really watch wht i eat because it still hurts going dwn. Very glad i had the surgery!

Well shes gastric bypass but still had the weight loss surgery & has done wonderful.

I hv a frnd tht didnt start drinking pop until she ws on her 5th yr & its diet. She has done very good & eats right now.

I went from liquids (2wks) into mash tatters (3rd wk)to fish, tuna 4th wk. However i tried ref beans on 3rd wk but my stomach cldnt handle it. Your dr may hv realised tht he didnt hv to be tht extreme. As you hv prob seen on here most dr vary in wht they want their pt to do. My dr ws flexible & told me tht if my stomach cld handle it, i cld do it. I cldnt but did try diff things.

Is the pill form just as good or not? Thanks everyone for your input.

What about Chia seed oil extract, pill form?

Is Chia seed oil extract what you guys are talkibg about?

I had surgery on a monday & started a new job the next monday.

Im going on 5wks & my tummy hurts when food doesnt agree with it or eating too fast. Hv you stuck w soft foods for awhile? Or do those bother you too?

I am 5 weeks this wk & tried it on saturday. I actually had it & strawberries w no problems at all. Maybe try a small bite? I knw every dr is diff in wht they want theur pts to do.

I had my surgery on July 16th & started a new job (desk job) the following Monday with no problems at all. It really helps to keep busy. I had a very speedy recovery. The main problems i had were drinking fluids but its getting better.

Where do you get flatbread?

Its so strange how lots lose 30 or more lbs then others lose 15-20 lbs the 1 month. Happy for those losing so quickly. Not sure why there is such a diff

Reading dwn thru the post lots of us are in the same boat so it has to be normal lol. We will lose to our GOAL! I knw if u lose too fast you will be more saggy, right? So this could be a blessing

Yes! 18 lbs is better than nothing. Was hoping to lose more but glad im losing.

My surgery was July 16 th. To me i hv lost slowly! I hvnt cheated either but do hv a hard time w liquids. I hv lost 18.9 lbs & 21.5 inches. At least im losing!

Im in Wichita Falls!

Reading this thread & im 4wks out & still hv a very hard time w liquids. I knw tht i dont get near enough liquids. I make a smoothie type drink frm my protein in the morning (18 oz) & a few days ago ws able to drink low calorie gatorade. Only wy i can drink water is if its ice ice ice cold, which is why I can drink the smoothie protein drink & tht I sip on thru the day at wrk. Really i dnt knw wht to do abt fluids. Wht im doing seems to wrk for me, at least im getting some fluids in.

Thank you. Im not familiar with how pintrest works at all. Thx i will chk it out.
