    Anybody in Jersey?!

    I have had a really great recovery. Never had any pain. I'm down 48 pounds so far. I use my fitness pal for tracking my food and Water. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
  2. I had a colonoscopy last year. My doctor prescribed SurePrep. I believe it was 2 five ounce solutions a few hours apart from each other. It wasn't too bad. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

    Gallbladder

    I'm so sorry to hear this. Hang in there. I'm just curious, we're you taking the Ursodoil after surgery to help prevent gall stones? My surgeon has me on it and I am just wondering how effective it is. Keep us posted on how you feel. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

    How do you know

    If I don't finish a meal, I will weigh what is left that I didn't eat and only count the protein I actually ate. I also use my fitness pal and it allows for half and quarter portions. It's not an exact acience, just try to get the best count you can. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

    Happy Thanksgiving soft foods

    I haven't experienced this. But maybe try going back to full liquids for a day or two and then try introducing soft foods again. Maybe one soft food a day and full Liquids the for the rest of the meals Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

    So far so good.

    What phase are you on? If you are doing 2 Protein shakes for 60 grams of protein you are hitting 400 calories. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

    Sleep Apnea & Anesthesia

    I understand your concern. Just realize you are not the first person they have operated on with sleep apnea. They are trained to deal with these things and will be monitoring you the entire time. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

    Scared

    I was peteified. Never had general anesthesia before. I remember moving onto the operating table and the anesthesiologist asking if I was comfortable and then he told me to put the oxygen mask over my mouth and that was it. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

    What to take to hospital

    I packed a change of underwear, tablet, phone, charger, lip balm, lotion, and baby wipes. I overpacked. I ended up using my phone, charger, and lip balm. I was discharged 24 hours after surgery. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

    Chewing but not swallowing

    If you feel the need to chew, try chewing at sugar free ice pops. This has helped me trmendously. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

    Surgery Monday 10/24 Feeling Hungry

    Surgery Monday 10/24 Feeling Hungry

    I'm taking 40mg of Protonix. I'm nervous that something went wrong with the surgery. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App I think that's normal. When people are in pain, they think something went wrong with the surgery, when people (like myself) had the easiest recovery (or was hungry the first couple of weeks), we think something went wrong with the surgery. By the 3rd day I felt so "normal" and I swear I thought they didn't do it except that I had holes all over my tummy hehe.... But once I hit the solid food stage, there was no doubt about it. ^^ Your hunger will drop off once the swelling goes down and you get the acid under control. That's how I feel. I have had a pretty easy recovery. Getting in the Protein and liquids, moving around pretty good, didn't have a need for pain killers. I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and hoping for the best. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

    Considering sleeve

    Ask him to do you a favor and go to an informational session. Maybe hearing about from a doctor and others that have gone through the procedure will help. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
