My gallbladder removal pain...was FARRRR worse than the pain with this. Be like nike...just do it. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

To me that isn't bad. I've tried several different things do far. Basically putting myself on trial and error to see what I can and can't handle. So far so good. Last night we got av stuffed pizza from papa Murphys.... it had 3 meats, mushrooms, and cheese in the middle. I didn't touch the breading or crust just the meats and cheese. I maybe ate too fast. I got super bloated feeling and my belly gurgle, a lot! Other than that, no problems. Head hunger, I've discovered.... is very very real. I want something in my head. Just because it seems like the thing to do. It doesn't mean I'm hungry, just my kids may be eating lunch, so then it's on my brain of what I'm going to eat. Maybe this is what is happening to you also. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

That does make sense as well. I notice myself getting around better and bending better too. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Point well taken, thank you. Im just do anxious of can't stand it. My husband asks me every day, "how much have you lost now?" He looks for numbers... I think or at least hope it's because he wants to be proud of me. I don't know. I get what you're saying though, I know you're right. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

It's hard to deal with. I'm like you all,.. every time I pass the scale I'm on it. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Sure hope so.. it's discouraging Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Yes and to the left just a few inches Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I'm with you! I'm at day 13. I have introduced some soft foods and tolerated them all well. I've lost 24 pounds. I have noticed since I've added a few foods.. my loss has slowed down. Maybe the first stall. But grr! However, mostly all my pain is gone. I too get pains under my ribs and I still seem swollen in my abdomen. I reckon that will go away.

Wow, I thought my doctors were strict. They say all of hose things trying to keep you from any discomfort. I just tried little bitty bits of things to see if it would bother me. Nothing has so far. Good luck. But around day 7... I had Greek yogurt. Even washing my hair was wearing me out. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Just curious if anyone else experiences this! Since surgery 4/20, I've dropped 23 pounds, 11 days. I'm not sure if it's Water weight gone that had exposed my legs or if it's from blood thinners in the hospital. ..or WHAT.. but. .. I am very touchy on my legs. Knees down...any pressure that hits my legs hurts! I've also noticed laying in bed at night my hips will hurt depending on which side I lay on. I dunno!?

Exactly what I'm going through! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Same here, almost! 5'8" 32 years old, and started at a size 24 and 339 pounds. Out of control! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App How long did that take you? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I have the unjury chicken also. I had some the day I came home. I didn't mind it at all...until........I fell asleep. I woke up and reached for a drink of the now cold Soup. Ugggghhhh. Never again. I can't stand to look at the jug of the stuff. I have the chocolate also. I didn't mind it pre-op. I made it with almond milk and ice. Now it is room temp Water.... I'm struggling to get it down. Everything is sweet, I oddly struggle with this. Never thought I'd say that. I think it's all the faux sugar. ...you know. ..how the seem to try and over compensate to taste good? Yuck, I can't stand it at this point. 11 days post-op now. Good luck Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I also have had some soft foods.. I have about a quarter cup Greek yogurt a day... have to have SOMETHING! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App I had surgery on 4/20 Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

My 7th day today.. I woke up 22 pounds down. Things I've decided today: 1) to get out of this house 2) to finally hold conversation with people 3) I am completely a failure with the Proteins Vitamins provided by my surgeons office 4) I'm near dehydration 5) I've drank drank drank and drank some more 6) I decided to get some gummy viatamins, Calcium, and b12. It may not be as much as in theres, but if I can't take there's without the fear of barfing... some is better than none, right? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Oh my heavens, yessss! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

They give me the shots there of b12. I absolutely can't stand the Vitamins and calcium they want me to use. I ruined myself from.broth the day I came home. I don't think I'll ever want it again. Muscle milk I haven't tried but may just do that. Thanks Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I had to cut metformin. When I went back to work full time I quit. It tore my stomach up SO bad. There was no way I was going to take that and work. It did really help me with my hair regrowth so I hated to do that. Now... post surgery.. with all the discomfort and gas pains and such... I can't fathom the idea of taking it, even sitting at home every day. Yikes, what a thought. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

@@jccanada you are NOT going insane. I was exactly the same - no focus and no care to chat to anyone. I had a big old baby cry (wracking sobs and all) in front of my ex and 3yr old yesterday cos i feel so useless and sick. But the fog is lifting..... Clearer today and (fingers crossed) slowly returning to my old self. I actually held a conversation longer than 1 minute last night with a friend that popped over. So yeh, NOT insane :-)Thank you, that makes me feel better. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I think thy said after 2 weeks. I notice everyone else gets them right after though. They also told me everything had to be room temp. Everything. It makes all of it, very unappealing. I appreciate the tips I'm having my husband pick me up something with some electrolytes here in about an hour. I just am tired of all the sweet flavors. It's crazy how much the surgery changes your tastes and desires. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Hi guys, I just had surgery on the 20th. I'm down 20th pounds in these 6 days. I'm REALLY struggling with getting fluids/protein/vitamins in. The chewable stuff they gave me... make want to gag from the chalky texture. I haven't been getting them down. I burp tree flavor all day once I take them. Today, im.jist really weak feeling. Last night my shower was a chore. My heart rate increases from it, to keep my hands up to wash my hair was very difficult. Today, very time I get up and around to do anything... including my walking, my pulse goes up to or over 100, from the normal I'm the 60s. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am considering using a spoon of Greek yogurt to crush my Vitamins in to swallow. I'm scared. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I did however just check my blood pressure, with an at home monitor. Said 164/97. :/ Not sure why it would be high, but I reckon that could be part of the problem. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Thanks. They told me I can have Popsicles yet. I think I'm going to try though. broth, I'm completely turned off by. I have some unjury brand chicken Soup, that I made with broth when I got home. It was okay until I fell asleep. I woke up and took a drink without hesitation, it was cold. And for whatever reason... ugh... never again! Even washing my shaker cup out and smelling it, made me gross out. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

No I am not on any medications. I figure I'm probably not getting enough fluids. Possibly nutrients as well. I seriously want to puke over the ones they gave me. So nasty! Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App
