    Yummy recipes... Ive been making homemade Soups with mixed veggies and occasionally adding mince meat or chicken. Was dying of boredom! I have a can of chickpeas with my name on them for tomorrow. ???? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    I have 13 mo old twins who love cuddling and laying on me. I was sleeved Mar 29 and whenever they wanted a cuddle my wife would pick up one or both and place them on my lap.. In bed, kept a pillow against my tummy for protection against kicks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Thanks all - all the responses have been great! I don't have a nutritionist and my doc has insisted on up to 3L of Water.. He's crazy! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Evening all, I'm a few weeks post op, was sleeved on March 30 and I've been struggling to meet the Water target. Just wondering if i can count the water i use to mix the Protein shakes towards the target. My doctor wants me to take up to 2L daily! - i looked at him like he was high when he said that.

    My doc also said i could do whatever i wanted after 2 weeks, but Im taking it easy. I have never been a crazy work out person anyway so i want to build up my activity level slowly and sustain it long term Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Im doing ok for the most part.. When i left hospital i was tired and had discomfort as well.. It should get better. I just took it really slow. Im still taking it slow. Lol. Not doing anything too strenuous exercise wise , except for lifting and carrying my 13 mo old twins. food is meh.. Im not enjoying this liquid stage, but I'm following it.

    Hi all, I live and work in Nairobi, Kenya (in Eastern Africa) with my partner and our 13 month old twin girls. Sleeved on 3/30. Starting weight 121kg, current weight 114.3kg (as of this morning). My long term goal weight is 60kg. Any other African LGBTQI on here? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Tips for caring for kids after surgery?

    bigmamaAfrica replied to Samiam1217's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I have amazing support from my partner and nannies to watch over our 13 month old twins. But they are going through a crazy separation anxiety phase and sometimes both want to be picked up at the same time! Really good tips! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    1 Week After - Back to Work!

    bigmamaAfrica replied to ITGeekGirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I'm scheduled for my Sleeve tomorrow morning. I live and work in Kenya which is in Africa. I work full time so I'm only getting 5 days off and will be back at work next week. Im a banker, so mainly desk duties. Hoping to have the same energy and post op experience as you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
