I am over two months out and I have tailbone pain. I haven't fallen or done anything that I remember to cause this. Has any body picked up random aches and pains? It is just so weird. It hurts upon rising and sitting. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Funny you should post this. I was thinking the same thing about myself and I'm about 7 weeks out - yesterday I had an issue and I puked. Not sure if I waited to long to eat or ate too fast or ate too much. It was not pleasant Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 52 and I had not had my period since sept 2015 and I had mine return about 2 weeks after surgery! Surgery was May17th Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have noticed since I have had the sleeve I have saved a bunch of money. All the money I would have bought Breakfast and lunch out. I didn't eat out all the time but I did quite often! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sorry for the double picture! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My first tattoo I got 5 days after turning 18. It is a rose on my ankle. I don't have a picture of it. I waited 30 years for my second tattoo - I got this after my 19 year old son died. It is the rose with feathers and his name. The third tattoo is I got because my sister wanted sister tattoos. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@Bufflehead - it is the most tender jerky I have ever eaten. I ate before surgery - it disintegrates in my mouth- much like tuna. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Thank you all for the ideas - totally forgot about tuna and pudding! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi all - taking an unexpected trip to NYC for 3 days and I am only 3.5 weeks out. I am going to pack yogurt and perky turkey Jerky - I'm having a blank brain. Any other packable items ? I can eat soft mushy foods. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Helenpgh - I too am in your situation, I fear it is not working for me. I have stopped weighing myself, just too frustrating to know how little you are eating and no loss on the scale. It will happen. I was sleeved on May 17 . Decided to only weigh now at the dr office Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi... I am 16 days out from surgery... Struggling to understand how I can only have lost 4 lbs. I have not cheated and I reach my Protein goals and only short on my Water by 8 oz or so. Argh - just frustrated. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm doing low carb which is the truth. Depends on the person whether I confide in them or not. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all - I have been drinking G2 and it has worked to make my leg feel better!

I like Perky Jerky - very tender! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How about trying Syntrax nectar - you had it to Water and is 23 Proteins. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I agree with Christinamo- keep your eye on the prize! I had all sorts of crazy thoughts before and after. All my husband kept saying was if this is what you want. I didn't really find that supportive, he asked very few questions and all I could think he was thinking was how this was going to affect him and what I would be feeding him. The preop shake diet was rough for me too...hang in there.

I am trying my best. Getting about 40 oz in. I notice I am able to get more each day - who would think it would be this hard? LOL I will get there!

Is there anything I could do? I used to eat bananas and potatoes to keep them away. I have been doing stretches but doesn't seem to be working. Have my 1st post op tomorrow. Any ideas would be appreciated and thanks. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
