Thankful for this post. Live in Michigan and I have never experienced cold like this before! I only have two temperatures - either a hot flash or Freezing ALL of the time! Down 80 lbs ( sleeved on 5/10). Layers!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 7 months out and have only told people I felt I wanted to know. It's not anyone's business and honestly, some people just cannot be happy for you because they are miserable. I didn't tell anyone at work either. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You look awesome! And our brains are very powerful! Do what you're doing - take pictures and that way you can compare your body. I was sleeved on 5/10 and I have found that my mind hasn't caught up to my body. I've lost 65 lbs but sometimes I still see the same person in the mirror. I have 45 more pounds to go but I would imagine it stays challenging. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

We do Home Chef and LOVE it! We are a family of three and I'm the only one sleeved. We purchased the 3 meals a week for 2 and it's been fantastic. You can opt for high protein/low carb selections. Love the variety and not eating the same thing over and over. My 16 year old daughter has learned how to cook with this plan. Can't say enough great things about it!

I was sleeved 5/10 at St John Providence by Dr Kerry Kole. He was awesome. I have three incisions and one through the belly button. I've lost 31 lbs (including my one week pre surgery diet weight loss). Overall down 40 lbs from my highest weight. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Try not to let it overwhelm you. Change is hard. Changing your entire life is even harder but it's about your mindset. It is do-able. And you will be fine!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Everything changed for me once I started using a straw at week 2. I'm now one month out. Getting my liquids in, on soft foods and heading back to work tomorrow. I walk 3 miles every day. You just have to find what works for you!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Definitely take something now. Colace, miralax....the constipation struggle is VERY real. And painful. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I experienced that and my nurse said it was because I wasn't getting enough Water. Once I focused on more water it went away. Sleeved on 5/10. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Comgratulations! Take it slow! Stay on top of your pain. I was given liquid Vicodin so had no pills to swallow and wasn't directed to start back on Protein shakes until day 5. First 4 days were all clear liquids. If you can, walk. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
