Thanks everyone! I think when we go out to dinner I'll convince my friends to order desert and give me a bite

Take a sip(hold liquid in mouth) exhale through your nose, then swallow. My nurse taught me this trick and I do it automatically now. Hope this helps

So I've been having the hardest time sleeping. I thought it was because my pillows lost their fluff. But then I realized all of my pillows didn't loose their fluff I did! (Well not all my fluff...yet)
Vets how long does it take to get use to having bones you can feel?

I'm 6 weeks out and my Dr said go for it! Watch the rides that push on your tummy but if it doesn't hurt have fun

I haven't flown in a few years but I'm taking a trip next week. Last time I flew I needed an extender but that was 50lbs ago. Should I ask for one now or see if my slightly smaller frame can buckle the seatbelt without it?

I was in the same boat as you. I'm 24 sw 310. I'm a month post op and feeling good. Do your beat to follow dr's orders but don't be supervised if you struggle in the beginning. Drinking is really hard I'm still struggling to get my Protein in. If you need anything message me

Mine did the same thing. My dr gave me his personal cell. Oh what a sad choice on his part lol. So texted him this pic and he said it was fine just to keep it covered with gauze and to not put anything on it except soapy Water when I shower. Hope this helps.

I'm 3 weeks out and I have to FORCE myself to eat. I don't want to eat and I'm not hungry. I can't imagine over eating

I sprinkle my beads onto baby applesauce (Dr's suggestion) I put a tiny bit in the spoon and mix it with my finger and swallow that. At about 5 days post op I started taking that and a sip of Water it went down easier for me. Oh and don't miss a dose. I did and boy was my tummy mad!

Take it off. I forgot and they never said anything to me but I was up ALL night! The monitor can't read when you breath so it freaks out. If you want to sleep take it off.

You know what's funny. I went from a size 24 to a size 8/10 and I get more attention and more date requests' date=' but I have no desire to date and be in a relationship. I know my life has changed in a lot of ways, but I wasn't expecting this at all. Maybe it will change and maybe it won't. But right now I am completely satisfied and happy which is all that matters. [/quote']Can I ask where you started and how much you've lost? I'm a 24 started at 310 and now 272 (one week post op-not sure what size now cause I'm rocking the sweats until real pants don't hurt) and an 8/10 seems like a lovely far away dream.

This is all I want. I craved it during my pre-op diet but I didn't give in. I'm 8 days out and I swear every other commercial is for pizza. I can't wait until I can have a bite. Even if its just the cheese.....when is that by the way?
-
How far post-op are you?

One day out and feeling great! The first few hours sucked. They said they gave me meds but I still hurt. I'm kind of a baby when it comes to pain. Now I only hurt when getting up to talk or use the bathroom. I'm pretty thirsty but I should start liquids today thanks for the support

I feel like I'm turning into freaking teen wolf. I'm noticing more hair on my chin and tummy. This sucks.
