  4. Hi, I had Dr Castro and apparently Dr Le jumped in to assist. How did it go for you? How did your post op go? I'm down to 20lbs and it's been smooth sailing for me. Did you join the support group? It's really great and helpful. Ivy Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App Havnt had mine yet unfortunately. Just got approved on 4/11 and should know my date by the end of the week. I can't wait to get in the support group but they said I had to wait until after surgery to be added.

  5. Sleeved 3/28, still on liquids. 18th going to purees. I think on my plan solids is at least 5-6 wks in. Let the weight loss happen, don't go by what you should be this adventure should take about a year. Part of it will be how you can maintain and work on your own exercise routine. GL!

  8. Glad to hear all of the successes. I'm going in today to remove my stitches. ..can't wait. I've been semi back to full activity and the protein/vitamin intake has been really good. Down a total of 16 or 17 lbs depending which one I want to believe mine or the doc's lol. Down 3 diabetic and 1 hbp meds is the ultimate high! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App

  10. How's everyone doing? I've been getting all my Water and Protein in. I've got to learn to pace my walking but I've been hitting about a mile a day in my steps. My stitches has been my new nemesis especially the left one. I think gravity isn't helping. So to combat this I got a belly band like for pregnancy and it seems to give it enough support. Also I'm still waiting for the surgery IV and the swelling to go down as I came out post-op 6lbs heavier than I went into surgery. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App
