Wow! I'm also 3 weeks yesterday and I haven't worn many pants bc the band hurts my incisions. The ones I did wear I'm in the same size Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What was your very first NSV that you can remember? I can't wait to have one. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh gosh, that terrifies me. I'm having this surgery in order to lose weight so I can have kids (married 16 years now, PCOS is evil), if I went into menopause I think I would just break. Omg me too! I has the surgery to have a baby too. I have pcos as well. No period for 15 months. I'm 3 weeks out Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes yes me! I haven't had a period for like 15 months and I'm hoping to get pregnant as soon as I can! (A year) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Awesome! How far along are you? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I still have all my incision glue left Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was thinking that it could be because lack of activities, but I didn't really do much before surgery. I would eat my feelings but now I cant Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did anyone else have their insidious glued instead of staples or stitches? Does the glue fall off or what? Some of the glue is sort of pealing away from the skin, but I don't wanna rip it off! Any ideas? I'm about 2 1/2 weeks post op Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm a 38H and I had to have help putting my bra on. I would place of where it goes and my husband would have to clip it. I didn't have a problem with the top incision. My bra was right above it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Outlets is a good idea. Can you all post how far post op you were when you hit these NSVs? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I'm on the mushy phase and i feel like all I eat is crap. I can have mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs. I have two of the three pretty much every day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I don't like Beans or Greek yogurt. I have been doing well with cheese though! I don't like tuna, but I had some mushy salmon and it made me throw up almost instantly Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Any ideas for substitute instead of ricotta?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Homemade Mashed potatoes! It some garlic in it then mash. Then I divide it into 1/2 cup portions and put some mozzarella on it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was told to ONLY look at the fat (less than 5g), carbs (less than 10g) and Protein (at least 15g) for the liquid/foods I'm eating. What are some other things I should look for? I feel like I should look at more than just fat, carbs and protein. What about sugar, sodium and others? What kind of guidelines do you use? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sorry in advance. How long did it take you to poop??? Tomorrow will be two weeks and still nothing. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had cheese one day before my mushy food phase officially started (I'm allowed melted cheese on the mushy diet). I've been craving just the cheese topping on a pizza. Idk why!? It's still considered melted cheese... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think that by asking this question yesterday it sparked something because today was the day! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How far post op?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm on protonox too. Is that for acid? I was given so much that I don't know what's what! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Have you all been given a calorie goal? I wasn't give one. I'm on the soft food stage until July 28. I'm only 11 days post op and my calorie intake was between 60-115 calories per day and now being on mushy foods for a day, I got in 415 and I feel like a whale after so many calories. I had a scrambled egg with cheese, 1/2 cup mashed potato, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, a premier Protein shake and an entire 11 oz bottle of Premier Protein. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Can't, or won't? You should be able to drink 2 premier Proteins by now. It may take all day, but you can do it. I just get too full after one shake Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
