You are given Heparin after surgery so you do not get a blood clot. So bruising is normal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I will be 3 weeks out and only lost 9 lbs. this doesn't seem right and I am doing exactly what I have been taught. I'm 47 and surgical weight was 229. I quit smoking a couple months ago so I am also wondering if this is one of the reasons I'm so slow to lose. I feel clothes getting looser and family and friends have said I look like I'm losing. Trying to be patient but it's starting to bug me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am also 3 weeks out. I started Decaf in the hospital. Decaf still has a little bit of caffeine in it. Maybe start there and ask the Dr. after that if you can do half-caf. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Probably just healing. No fever? No drainage? Call Dr just to be sure. That's his job. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I cheated on the pre-op twice. BUT my nutritionist approved. My sister who had waited to get married for 35 years had her wedding the week before surgery. I am her best friend and was her maid of honor. We ate, drank and celebrated the night before and then at the wedding. I had worked hard the six months before the surgery and every day except those two since. I quit smoking for the 2 months before surgery. I am proud of the changes I have made and continue to make. Do what's safe and sensible. Most of all make sure YOU are ready, which if you are even asking these questions means you are now at least thinking about your decisions first and that is a HUGE step in the right direction.

Did they by any chance give you a B1 shot? I got one and was starving 24/7 until I think it was out of my system a bit. Also, a teaspoon of PB helps hunger abc also helps get even more Protein in. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Get off the pain pump and onto liquid pain med ASAP. I didn't realize how sick it was making me. I felt so sick the first 2-3 days and was so scared I was never going to feel good again. Then day 3 much much better. I am almost 3 weeks out and on puréed foods now and so happy I did this. Hang in there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
