Im 3wks out. When do you suggest i start going back at the gym? I also had my gallbladder taken out and i also had a huge hernia repaired so thats why i havent hit the gym yet,but please tell me, its not time yet? My mom keep telling me to take it slow because i dont need to be lifting anything yet Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

@@ShelterDog64, we're all new. I thought i could eat 1 of those small little bags that come in the variety pack of different potato chips. WRONG. I wanted to eat another 1 after my fullness ended. Then i felt guilty and i was like omg, if i mention this on here someone is going to bash the hell out of me for eating the potato chips. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

@@badkitty, i didnt dare near ice cream because i LOVE IT. But i did eat a potatoe chip my 2yr old granddaughter put in my mouth. It was a little 1 but god did it trigger those cravings for cbips. I tried to sike myself up and say well my stomach will only allow me to eat just so many but hell naw, id want to eat more than 1. I just prayed that night that he take and remove those cravings from me. I didnt spend 3hrs on a table 3wks ago to only eat the samethings i was eating. Now mind it, i didnt have this surgery because i have problems with food. I dont need anyone bashing me or asking why did i have it ok. But i have ms, and 3yrs ago they started me on iv bags of steriods because i couldnt walk at 1 time. I gained almost 150 because everything i took had steriods in them and on my own, the weight wouldnt move. Since i decided to go this route, i can no longer take anything with steriods but idk. Ive always been 145lbs. Now, arthritis, Fibromyalgia has set in and they need to do a total knee replacement. Not on me their not. So yes, we all will probably make some mistakes because this is new to us. But i dont need anyone making me feel bad about it Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

That is great advice. I havent had any Pasta, bread or rice in 2yrs. And i really dont miss them. I havent had any craving except for lays potatoe chips....cant eat just 1. I really want some chips but i keep getting some smoothie and keep going. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

They said it really isnt nothing you can do about it. If youre getting your Proteins in and fluids and taking your Vitamin, thats all u can do. If you weren't doing all these things, thats what theyd be telling you to do. Im only 3wks out and im dredding that part. Some lose alot of hair and some people dont. But i went through chemo and lots all my hair so if i start, ill just shave it and it will grow back Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I have a sleep number bed so i just incline my legs and take the pressure off my back Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app

Your gallbladder is on the leftside? Because my back hurts like hell also. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

So, let me understand because im 3wks out and i feel like im not losing weight. I lost most of minebefore surgery. I feel like im at a stall and even may have gained. Im still not having a bowel movement so thats not helping me feeling fuller. But so doing the 14 day liquid phase will jump start the weight lose again? Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Im so scared to gulp....lol. so scared im going to stretch my stomach, that im still sipping. Im only 3 wks out but i can take a gulp of Water. Maybe like 4 before i get that fullness feel. Should i be concerned that i could stretch my stomach Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Me to with the chews. Now my nutritionist did tell me for this moment, curtain gummies are ok. Thats why i hate the fact that these dr are not all on 1 page. Some tell you this where so.e tell you something else. Like the pre op diet. I had to fast for 14 days of just liquids, and broth and Protein, nothing else by mouth, nothing. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Im 3 wks out and my dr still has me crushing my pills but i just swollow them. As far as my Vitamins, im doing the gummies for now. But i just didnt want to do the crush thing. Thats nasty even if you didnt have surgery but i just swollow them and call it a day. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Well, i can tell you the honest truth for me. I had my surgery oct 4th, and the 4 days i spent in the hospital i was great, but when i got home on my own, i honestly felt like crap. I didnt grt my Water in everyday nor my Proteins. I couldnt take 4 sips without cramping because i was full. So i ended up having to set an alarm to do a 1oz of water every 15 minutes. Im on the puree phase now. My dr was before i got to this pbase, i was scared that i was throwung up if i tried to drank a Protein shake so no protein. But they were more concern with me getting the fluids in. So i let myself get dehydrated and bouncing back from that makes you so tired. You dont wanna do anything. But like i said, everyone is different and so you have to go with your experiences. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I think they give them to everyone for blood clots but i didnt have any problems with them. Im sorry youre bruising so bad. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Holy crap is right Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Thats 1 place that i havent looked for recipes but i know i dont like refried beans. I started this stage last week and i havent been able to keep anything down that has been pureed. So i stick to scrambled eggs with cheese, tuna fish, rhings that i dont have to puree. Ive still had this pain underneath my left breast when i breath in deep. I know that fullness pain but its not that. I have it all the time and im nauseated all the time and have to take my zofran. I havent been able to sleep so they switched the zofran to the phenigrin, i know i didnt spell it right but it helps nausea and helps sleep. Idk if anyone else feel like me but after having this surgery i have this guilt if i cant get my fluids in, my Protein is not the problrm right now since i can get the eggs in. The dr removed my gallbladder and repaired a huge hernia so he hasnt released me to the gym yet, i cant wait. I feel like i was losing faster before the surgery than now. Ive definitely lost some weight, im trying not to go out and buy a scale, i go by my clothes. Before surgery, i was in a 3x, im now in a 1x. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Hey fellow sleevers. How is everyone doing? Wheres all my October sleevers? How r u doing with these changes? Ive finally been able to go to the bathroom at least weekly now, but i do have to take something. Are you guys crushing your pills if you have to take a pill? Somethings are just so time consuming that i forget and swollow them and then have a panick attack for the rest of the day. I dont try to just obsess over my new sleeve so the other day i actually ate a potatoe chip that my granddaughter put in my mouth. It was a plain lays and it went down good and it tasted even better but i felt so bad that i literally called my nutritionist the next morning.....im still on the puree food. What phases are the rest of the oct people since not all drs follow the same phases.? Good luck to us all Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Always call dr office. Our bodies are going through so many changes and whats happening to you may not have happe ed to anyone else here. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Im post 3weeks and at the puree stage. That just doesnt appeal to me so im getting my scambled eggs with cheese in. No meats unless theyre pureed. Ive spent yesterday at the fusion center receiving a IV. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

@@kittykatja85, did u see the dr about your incision? All of my little ones are gone already and i had my surgery on the 4th oct. Now the biggest 1 that he pulled the gallbladder and rest of stuff out of did the samething. It had scabbed over and i was taking a shower and the scab fell off. It looked like it wasnt healed on the inside because there was just a hint of blood but also really pink. It didnt look bad it just was a hint of blood. So maybe its something that just happens and that incision takes a minute to heal whereas the other little bites( they look like bug bites) healed great and i started putting Vitamin E oil on them and theyre fading away. So please get it checked if u think its pus Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Congrats. Im 12 days post op. I remember my 14 day liquid diet. It was so much easier to get through than i thought. You know what kept my mind from wondering back to food, my people on here and the adult coloring books. Im hooked and i even took 1 to the hospital Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I agree, drop him and run. He will sabotage anything youre trying to achieve. Idk either 1 of you but just by the things youve said he says is really not good. Hes the man like my exhusband that doesnt want you to feel better about yourself so u can always depend on him. That makes him feel good to be needed. But what happens when you dont need him? Good luck with that Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Thats all ive been able to get down is the cream of broccoli from panera bread. Is that bad? I can only get like 4 baby spoons and im full. Idk if i get so full because they repaired a big hernia and my gallbladder Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

They still get you up the sametime as anyone else. They left the folly in my bladder until the next day but yes, you are up walking. They put this almost like a waist trainer on you while in the operating room while youre still sleep. And i still wear mine while im walking. It does t hurt. But, i have found that theres a tightness there all the time. And even 12 day post op i can only still get in 3-4 sips Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Yes you are. I had a big on. Youre really tight in that area and alot of pain for a minute. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App
