I was sleeved June 22nd as well. Today I have my follow up appt with my surgeon and meeting with a nutritionist to go over step 3 of my reintroduction to eating solids. Hw: 295 Sw:288 Cw:273 I did a 2 week pre op high Protein diet followed by a 2 week post op full/clear liquids and tomorrow I can start reintroducing food. Soft foods first then more solids as my body sees fit. I do have diabetes and they took me off metformin right after surgery. No complications but I am on bloodthinners for 3 months post op as a precaution due to being on HBC. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

i go back to work tuesday. i took 13 days off-the perfect amount of time as i am going stir crazy! the only thing i am worried about is getting tired-but i know this shall pass.

are you able to have greek yogurt as a full liquid? oikos yogurt triple zero has about 15g Protein and only 6g of sugar. i also suggest fairlife milk. its lactose low/free and has 13g protein per serving.

I was told 1 cup max of coffee and that I had to drink more Water to make up for its diuretic effects. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

Fairlife milk. It's lactose free/low and has added Protein. I add Water if it's too thick. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

I kept my polish (dark blue matte) on and had no issues. During surgery they used my ear lobe for pulse and later on used a clip on my finger for O2 readings. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

We have the same weight stats and are surgery twins yay! My plan skips the pureed food stage. I go from 2 weeks clear and full liquids right into reintroducing food at my own pace. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

Had my surgery June 22nd. Recovering pretty well. Cheated a bit with some mushy foods today but besides that I am adjusting well. The hardest part is getting my brain to get in line with my stomach. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

2 weeks high Protein pre op 2 weeks liquids pre op Then I slowly reintroduce foods. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

I use a small pillow to support my stomach if I sleep on my side and it helps with the pulling feeling. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

4-6 weeks depending on how fast my incisions close. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

Overnight. They checked for leaks the morning. Also had me complete 3 walk goals and 4 cups of water/crystal light as well before I went home. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

Reconsider the iud! There are 3 on the market now. Skyla-for women who have not had children yet-it contains hormones and is smaller mirana -the big sister to Skyla and Paraguard which contains copper and no hormones. I didn't have weight gain using the nuvering. I did have issues with the arm implant gaining weight. So in september I will go back on the pill when it's removed. Non hormone methods-diaphram or cervical cap. Hopefully in a couple years I can just get my tubes tied and be done. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

I had to pay $600 for my nutritional classes and material out of pocket. Kinda annoyed that they would make this a requirement for surgery and not figure out a way for it to be covered. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

Unless i am on a tight schedule i refuse the scanners or detectors for personal reasons so I get a pat down anyways. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

5 days post op here as well. I am having what I call "brain cravings" My brain is telling me how much I miss allllll the foods. While my stomach and rest of my body is like "aw hell no we are fine and want to heal" I usually grab a sf Popsicle to try and make everyone happy. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

I do quick walks around the house all day and a long walk outside with my partner when they get home from work. (5 days post op) Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

I was told at 4 weeks I could do light exercise and then ramp it up as my body sees fit. I just want these darn incisions to heal so I can hope back into the pool! I am only 5 days post op..sooooooo a ways to go. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

You have to remove everything or - like i did - replace with glass or plastic. Good luck!

I was given whole pills the day after surgery. You should be fine! Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

Good luck! Try and get as much rest tomorrow as you can! Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

I have 6. Which is fine. I thought 5 was the usual. They are healing well and do not hurt. This skin glue though is driving me batty! I was a little out of it when my surgeon came by the day after. I remember him being suprised and telling me I had a "big" piece of stomach to remove. So maybe that has something to do with it? Not a super serious concern. Just curious. I will ask at my post op follow up on the 5th. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

Mine is 2 weeks of at least 32 ounces of Clear liquids and 32 ounces of full liquids plus Vitamins. Then I move on to real food. No soft/pureed foods at all. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

3 days out for me. I know it's early *knock on wood* but no heartburn issues, no major bathroom troubles and no pain meds needed. I am gassy if I sip too fast and struggle with gross Protein shakes but have found that unflavored protein in my tomato soup is just as good! I love this feeling of getting healthy and it's encouraging me so much! Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App
