I have the same thing. I can barely eat anything most mornings but in the evening I'm starving and can eat a greater quantity. It worries me a little just because I don't want to be eating at night but I'm starving. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My Dr said to take stool softener every day (up to two at a time two times a day) and on occasion take Milk of Magnesia if you can't go. So far the combo is working. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am at 4 weeks out and wanting to run so specifically asked my dr if I could at least jog. She said absolutely not. She said I can start jogging slowly at 6 weeks and build up from there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Vitamix is the the best! I made a couple Soups and puréed them in about a second Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Walking is the best advice. It stayed with me for a few days after surgery but then just went away. I also had it with drinking liquids and breathing out before every sip helped to reduce the gas when drinking. Hang in there, it gets better! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was always cold prior to the surgery but now I'm really cold. My favorite item is our electric throw blankets now.

How do you make your soup I'm always on Pinterest trying to get ideas. I can't believe it's a week yay we've made it how exciting ! And which shakes you buy I just found a couple recipes on Pinterest with high protein and made them and then put them in the Vitamix to purée them. One was roasted cauliflower and white cheddar and the other was curried lentil. They both turned out good and the nutritionist told me to sprinkle in a little unflavored Protein powder each time I had some. So far, so good. So happy to be able to start puréed foods today! I bought tiny little bowls and spoons at this restaurant shop to help me eat slowly and make it seem like more food.

I am a week out from surgery and going back in a day. I could have started back yesterday and been fine but am giving myself a little extra time. I had two c sections and think this is a MUCH easier recovery than those. Plus, you aren't taking care of a baby! Just remember that you will likely not qualify for FMLA while you are out and if you don't have any vacation/pto/sick time yet they don't have to let you come back to work when you are ready to come back, especially if the recovery doesn't go as quickly as you had hoped. Definitely have an honest conversation with both your manager and HR before you make a decision.

Wow, it seems as though everyone is doing pretty good. We've made it a week folks, nice job! I was letting my kids cook dinner this weekend and helped. They both wanted me to try what they had made so I took a bite and tasted it then spit it out so I didn't eat it. Good thing they understood that I couldn't eat it and didn't start crying or something! Today I was feeling pretty good so I went to the store and bought some stuff to make Soups. I can't wait for the purée stage so I made two healthy purée soups tonight. I had to lick the spoon to make sure it was ok but didn't eat any. I seem to feel hungry at night. During the day today I didn't really feel hungry at all which was really weird. I had to make myself drink my Protein drink, which never happens! I hope that continues.

What part of the world is everyone in? I'm in Colorado. It's a beautiful sunny day today although a little windy.

I found it much easier to get the fluids in at the hospital too. At home, I worked really hard yesterday and I was only able to get 41 ounces Thts a great idea well today i saw my doctor she started me on Protein shakes I have to drink a shake every 2 1/2 hours and it's so hard right now I'm hungry ugh it's so hard. At least I lost 16 pounds. That would have been a struggle for me without the sleeve 16 pounds so far is awesome!! I have lost 12 so far. How about everyone else? I feel like once I start eating solids I may gain a pound just because there will be food in my stomach but I'm good with that. Feeling great today and water and broth is going down so much easier today than in the past. I start work again on Thursday but from home for a week instead of the office. I'm already restless. If I was off any longer I would be working on home repairs and probably hurt myself.
