I'm five weeks out and everyday gets a little better. I can definitely eat larger quantities of soft foods like yogurt than chicken. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How did it go?? Hope all is well Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was not myself for a few days. Think it was aftermath of anesthesia, I just felt like I was in a fog. Incisions were uncomfortable but not terrible except that I could not sleep on my side. That kind of sucked. Drinking was the hardest for me. I also had a hiatal hernia and it was very uncomfortable to take the tiniest sip but each day was better. I'm five weeks out and except for a pesky incision that is all a distant memory. Good luck!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I got a new pCP just before I started the process. I absolutely love her. She even called the day after I got home from hospital to check in on me. I have never had a dr like that before and did not know what I was missing. Get a new dr asap Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all so much for the thoughtful and encouraging responses! Great tips and nice to hear that it does get better! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am almost one month out. I had the six month waiting period, talked to lots of people and read this site religiously. It is still more difficult than I was expecting. I am very happy with my progress and have zero regrets but damn, this is so life altering and consumes my every thought. I assume it gets better? Things I am struggling with: Nothing tastes good. I can live with small portions but would like to at least enjoy what I am eating. Even Water tastes different. Did this happen to anyone else and does it get better? Protein. I can hardly eat more than a few bites of anything so getting my 60g though food is impossible. I choke down the Protein shakes and have tried so many to see if I can find one I like but no luck. I freeze the Isopure into popsicles and that is better than drinking it but still struggle every day. My largest incision is taking forever to heal. Been to dr twice who swears it is not infected and says the lack of protein had hurt my healing process (though the other incisions healed just fine.) I have really upped the protein intake last few days. The largest one is in the worst spot, right up against the band of my pants so it is constantly getting rubbed against. I thought I was so prepared but this is hard and my mom is the one I would be talking to about all of this every day but she passed away unexpectedly on Mother's Day and that is just making things even more difficult. Thx for reading. Would love any advice you have.

I tried it once. Did not work for me.

Good luck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am a little worries about this. My fat was my juvederm I also use Rodan and Fields and like it a lot.

Great job!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What is so strange to me is if Water washed the food through and makes you hungry faster (which I believe after seeing the applesauce /funnel video) why is this not well known for anyone dieting? Shouldn't just apply to barbaric patients. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Two people at work this week commented that I lost weight. I'm not very close to them so just said, "Thanks, I'm trying." Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Slept in my bed on my back. Too about a week to be able to sleep on my side. I agree about the pillow under knees, that did help me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry but so glad you went to ER. Get well soon!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thx! Sounds delish! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Recipe please? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think she is referencing no drinking 30 min before and after eating. Makes it harder to get all liquids in.

It really is so very little in one serving. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

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!!
