Hey guys. So I am about 4 weeks post op on my puréed diet… the biggest challenge for me has been to remember not to eat and drink at the same time… well I have caught myself doing it here and there and I feel really bloated as a result. Has this happened to anyone, and how did you reverse it? Or de-bloat? Or any other suggestions. Thanks for listening. Good luck all!!

Hi guys! So I'm looking for some reassurance or advice. I am PO day 3, surgery was on Tuesday April, 23rd. I feel really good, yesterday was my first full day home from the hospital. I struggled with getting the right amount of fluids and protein in (I'll be on clear liquids for a week), but I'm already doing a lot better today with that. I weighed myself for the first time PO this morning and I haven't lost a single pound!! Did anyone else experience this? I know its only been 3 days, its just kinda depressing, ya know?

You should look at purchasing some powdered "spirulina" to mix in the juice. It has the highest plant based protien concentration.

There's a really good documentary (on Netflix if ya have it) about juicing called "fat sick and nearly dead." it's really motivating, and has really good information about juicing. Bottom line juicing is amazing for you, organic is best!

Do it

I use RunKeeper along with GYMPACT, it's fun! And you get paid to workout! Lol not much usually like 25-50 cents for me. Better than nothin

Thanks, Lissa and JMarshall for your candor. Congratulations on your weight loss! I hope my mine will be as successful It's scary, but I think it's the best option for me as well

Right, well you (and me lol) have every reason to be apprehensive because it is so drastic! But this would be like the last weight loss attempt though, which, of course, sounds AMAZING to me lol That fact seems to trump my fears by a long shot too, ya know

I've had my initial consultation, my psych eval and sleep study, so now I'm just kinda playing the waiting game to see what's next. It's nerve racking! How about you?

Hey y'all: I have been wrestling with conflicting feelings about the surgery. I have begun the process to have the sleeve procedure done, and I'm really excited. At least I think I'm excited? I still wonder: Why can't I just eat as if I had already had the procedure done? Will I feel less gratified with the weight loss than I would have felt had I done it by sheer will power? I have been failing at this for so long that I think this is my best option, at this point. They do say, the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, right? And I'm tired of failing, ya know? So why can't I just be happy?? Bah. Sorry for the rant, but you're kinda supposed to do that in a forum right? Anyways, I'm just reaching out because I know I can't be the only one that feels this way. Is anyone going through this right now? Or - if you've been there, how did you get past it?

Thanks, I'm glad I'm not alone lol

It is unfortunate that not everyone has the resources to have this done. You (and I and many of us) are very blessed

All very good points, my friends

So, I have just begun the insurance process to have my sleeve surgery! And I'm very very anxious and excited to have it done But… what if in the future there's a zombie apocalypse?? Right? Please tell me I'm not the only one that had this run though their mind Like what if you have a limited supply of food and when you have to eat you need to be able to eat a lot and store your food sort of? I'm just sayin… I guess at least I'll be in better shape to run away from them though!
