Hormones dump very quickly just after surgery, so I was told.... I personally was a perfect weepy and depressed soul at 1 week out. And then again around 6 weeks out. It passes. Put some music on, close your eyes and relax. I got tired of tv too! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Years ago I used this tactic when I was on a strict diet. I was getting to a very attractive weight at age 22 and men wanted to buy me drinks - so the bartender hooked me up with tonic water and lime. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Where in PA? I'm in SW PA near Pittsburgh. Good luck. My BP and diabetes are both much improved since my October surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's possible you gained w surgery...I gained 8 pounds in the hospital and was starting from there. So the first week I lost 8 but it looked at the dr as though I stayed the same Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My sister in law gave me a crapload of clothing in mid December. I was amazed and very little fit at the time but.... Today I am able to wear a pair of the jeans she sent! She had surgery a year ago - and told me that I would be the last to notice until my clothes got big. Yesterday I noted a pair of my pants were too big....so today I tried these jeans. Blue jeans! 44 pounds from the day I came home from surgery. 40 pounds on record! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I didn't know what was happening but on the evening after my surgery my husband was trying to help me get out of bed and I yelled at him because he wasn't doing it the way the aide had during the day. Husband was not there when the aide was. He couldn't have known how. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Our Aldi grocery store has several flavor options of low carb (2g net) Protein bars with 10g protein. Tasty too. Although tasted a little sweet. So I ate about 2/3 of the bar and you guessed it, I'm dumping. Back to the drawing board. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The brand i bought was Elevation carb conscious. It seems it would be good it just really didn't agree with me today. I had a half one the other night and was fine Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was just above 50 BMI but I didn't have to do a preop liquid diet...however I had the catheter and wasn't able to get up for over 12 hours. It wasn't awful. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I gained 7 pounds in the hospital. I was warned and realized what it was but it put the starting point in a place I was unhappy with.

It didn't hurt and in fact I only found it because I was trying to stop my belly from itching! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had that. My surgeon calls it "ridging" and said it's Fluid built up and it will dissipate. Mine was nearly gone by my 6 week checkup but was there from week 3 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
