Oh my I would feel like I was starving, we are told 3 meals and 3 4oz Protein shakes between the meals ( the meal is normally a 2-4 oz serving of cottage cheese ricotta cheese puréed cream Soup with extra Protein powder, Greek yogurt, cream of wheat, oatmeal, and we can have 1 tsp of butter in the day) This is the post op day 1-14, I am post op day 7 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have trouble with fluids too, mostly if they are cold, warm broth tea coffee all go down easier Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well everything went good, got home Friday, Surgery went well, home by 4 pm on Fri, just sore and takes a lot of discipline to take in the amount of fluids I am supposed to, it feels like it just sits there and makes me feel like I have to burp but can't, out this morning for My daughter's first gymnastics competition Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

At Pammieanne. How is everything going?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I was wondering how things are going. Your story sounds a bit like mine however i am 45 and i haven't lost use of my knees yet. I have contemplated surgery for years but always walk away because"if I could lose it before I can do it again" however this time I maxed my weight out at 419. I smcurrently in the 6 month lifestyle/nutrtion holding pattern until i can have surgery. Did you get a surgery date. Should i do this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for your posts. I am a newbie, signed on today for the first time. Just read your posts and it's very inspirational. I went to my seminar March 9, 2016. Had my first personal visit to the doctor on April 4, 2016. At that time I weighed in @402.7 lb. my all time high was 419 in Sept of 2014. I am on a weight lost journey. I am required to go to nutrtion classes once a month for 6 months. My first class was may 23,2016. I weighed today and the scale read 385.9!! Losing weight is great!! Yay us!!

I am here with you too. With 6 mo of prep/nutrition won't be scheduling surgery until at least November 2016. We are in this together. We will rock this! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am new as well. Have 5 months of monthly nutrition classes and other preop stuff before i can be scheduled. One day/ moment at a time. I got a fitbit for mothers day and it really helps to keep me motivated. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@~Pam~64~ I too am in a 6 month diet, 1 month down, I feel like it's hard but I am required to go to nutrition classes so The accountability to that and monthly weigh ins help. Do you have to do that too? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
