there is no guarantee of anything but just think about it...your body will be carrying less weight, there will be less stress on your bones and joints, you will be able to exercise more which will probably help. Loosing weight will probably help a lot

Very few people know about my surgery. This was a hard enough thing to do without the possibility of unsupportive people and negative comments

Eh this yeat is still going to suck. Getting divorced so not going anywhere with him, the couple of friends I had have sided with him, I'm living with my parents but they are going to a country club my dad's boss invited thrm to, my brother has a date....so it will be just me watching tv alone

You can actually celebrate without alcohol. You don't actually need it to enjoy yourself

Well you will loose fat...boobs are fat so you may loose some size. After 10 months I have lost inches in the band size bit my cup size jas stayed the same. But they look...different

I go to fast food and restaurants when i want. I get chicken nuggets nuggets at fast food places or a small hamburger without the top bun. At restaurants I get an appetizer or some chicken and I just eat a little and bring the rest home. I have been out with people who don't know I had surgery and nobody has evee mentiones anything about what or how little I was eating

I don't like any. What I found tbat tastes pretty good is actually the high protein carnation breakfast shake. That has 15g of protein. I mix that with a scoop of chocolate premiere protein and some frozen banana and it's good

Well try the isopure. I thought they were HORRIBLE but some people like them

Without the shakes it's pretty impossible to get y Protein when you are on a liquid diet

hahah, yep. I had some avocado as my first non liquid. Best avocado ever!!!!!

I really wasn't interested i food at all until the end of my 2nd week. It was enough of a challenge just getting my water and protein shakes down

I don't know what butter chicken is but after you are healed you can technically eat ANYTHING. Some things are just worse choices than others

yes. Think about it, most of your stomach was just removed and after that kind of trauma everything is incredibly swollen inside. For a while you will feel extra restriction. 6 or 7 months post op for most people the last of the swelling is gone and that is the true size of your sleeve. Many people find that at that point they can suddenly eat more and worry that they stretched their sleeve (which is not actually possible)

For me if I eat to much I feel like i have to throw up....then I throw up. But this hasn't happened in a while

Call your surgeon and ask

Call them and ask

I wouldn't do any permanent life altering surgery at that bmi.

Every timeline is different. Some require 6 months of supervised diets, some have othee requirements. It all depends on your insurance and surgeon. For me my consult was in June and my sleeve was in September

Start with measuring out 2 oz and see how you feel after. Even if you think you could eat more it would be a bad idea. You are still healing, you don't want to push it

I was loosing a pound a day after surgery. After 33 years of nothing but gaining weight, loosing too fast or too much was never anything I ever thoight about

Woke up just now (midnight) and have to go to the bathroom. I stop outside the bathroom door and I hear a strange sound. The bathroom window is open and it faces our backyard which backs into woods. I hear what sounds like demons screaming. It sounded so scary i was actually afraid to go in the bathroom because my sleepy brain thought the demons would see me and come after me, so I just went back to my room. After some googling I'm pretty sure what I heard was a fox vixen call. After finding this out I was able to go to the bathroom and back to bed Yes.....yes I'm like 90 % sure it was a fox I heard....but just to be safe I have barricaded my door with the new tub of cat litter, double checked that the closet was empty and completely closed and also barricaded, and took a running leap into bed. Yeah I'm 33 years old and sleeping with a nightlight tonight Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

You need to talk to your surgeon about what to expect, what they will do

Don't go too crazy. Many people find their taste changes post op

Yes every plan is very different. And honestly when ai was in my soft food stage I had some pizza...but only the cheese. Having said that, would bet a large amount of money that no plan ever has said that pizza is ok less than two weeks aftef surgery

NJ has more than just 2 major highways. Have you ever been here? Beyond just driving on the crappy turnpike?
