Went back to work today after two weeks off. Last night decided to try on clothes to see what fits since I have lost about 22 lbs in last few weeks and lots of inches. I had to put 8 pairs of pants into the too big pile!! Thankfully I have clothes if every size in my closet to get me through the transition but was a great feeling to discard some!!

I also stopped slowly. 1 cup a day then 1/2 cup a day then 1/4 etc. I had no headaches but was tired. Good news is I just started again Saturday! Dr said as long as it does not bother me and is not at the expense of getting non-caffeinated liquids in then it's no problem. Doesn't taste the same though Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The total cost of my surgery was about 55k. 17k for surgeon, 30k for hospital and about 5k for anesthesiologist and it is all broken down on my insurance website because it's all billed separately. Ask about using something like Care Credit to pay. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Pureed foods
Clarevoyant replied to beauty and the beast's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Can you eat the whole egg? When I make scrambled I measure out a 2 oz cup and am full after that. It's about 1/3 of an egg. A fried egg sounds delish! -

I have the opposite problem. Sorry I can't help. -
I feel great today! Agree, you should use the pain meds if you are in pain, don't suffer through. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

Three days post-op and STARVING!
Clarevoyant replied to thtrmgr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started to get hungry too, no clue if it was real, imagined, or a result of acid but regardless, I felt hungry. Good news is that when you start mushies you will be full after a couple bites and it takes HOURS to feel hungry again. -
@@pjmckain My doc said it looks like I may have stretched it a bit and made it angry but it is not infected at all. He said the largest one always takes time and hurts most. It was reassuring to hear. If you feel it is getting worse over the weekend you may want to go to an emergency walk in just to be safe. The earlier they catch it, the better. Good luck!

I've noticed I am also losing inches more than pounds which is awesome. I officially track my measurements once a month but have been sneaking waist measurements here and there and am down about 5 inches since the morning of surgery less than two weeks ago. woohoo -

Which fresh fruit does not cause dumping?
Clarevoyant replied to CharlotteKat's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Obviously how you tolerate fruits is crucial and you won't know unless you try. Try at home to be safe As far as the sugar....every skinny person I know eats lots of fruit. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Puree/Soft Foods start today!

I was allowed purée/soft food starting second week. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Had a soft scrambled egg with some cheese in it as my first meal. Made a whole egg, filled my 2oz condiment cup with some and used my kiddie spoon. Ate about 1/2 the container which looks to be about 1/4 to 1/3 of the egg. Chewed it to death. BEST. EGG. EVER. Hardest part was not drinking but waiting 45 minutes and drinking now.
