How often do you work out ?

To be more clear, its more like pressure on my chest, not pain

I was sleeved on 9/13.

This week i've noticed that what i'm eating now is bothering more than in the beginning. The pain is worse than anything i've felt throughout the whole process. I've even thrown up twice this week because that was the only way the pain would go away.

Unfortunately, i dont think i am. I am getting better but i am definitely nowhere near 64 Fluid ounces and 60-80grams of Protein daily:(

@@cheneisew yeah, i'm off restricted diet but everything either bothers me or tastes nasty. I've been afraid to try salad. Will give it a shot tomorrow.

He is in the OR all day today and will get back to me tomorrow. I'm nervous. I'm scared to take Plan B without his approval

I have been getting laser hair removal since before my surgery. I am now 5 weeks post op is it safe to still get it done as i have an appointment tomorrow.

I called my surgeon and left a message. But no answer yet.

Also- i had unprotected sex with my fiance on Saturday. Is Plan B safe for me to take?

I was prescribed the pills by my surgeon on the day i left the hospital, so i'm sure he knows what he's doing. I will wait for monday and call him. Better that. I'm sure skipping two days won't kill me.

Just finished my prescription for my baby asprin. Didn't take one today. Should i refill? Or wait to talk to my dr on monday? Its saturday. Nothing will happen if i skip it for two days?

Stupid question, i know, but i'm a scardy cat! Lol

Thanks for the encouragement, @@sc101071! I am just so terrified that i am going to walk into my next follow-up with my surgeon on the 19th and have him tell me i haven't lost anything. All this hard work and sacrifice for nothing.

I can't believe a month has gone by already!! Seems like just yesterday i was walking terrified into that OR!

On a sad note, my weight loss seems to have halted. Is this normal ?

What is the average weight loss for being a month out? I know everyone is different but i'm so worried!

I was sleeved on 9/13/16, 26 days post op.

I can't seem to get any more than 2 - 3 bites of food every 30 minutes! Will this ever change? Will i ever be able to attend a dinner party without feeling like a weirdo?!

Hi, I was sleeved on 09.15 I am in soft/mushy food phase I. I am allowed to have broccoli but it has to be cooked and eat only the florets... I tried a couple of days ago, and it went fine... so far so good. I hope you are doing well

Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Yeah- my plan does say broccoli florets... i guess its better to have them cooked so they are softer....

what are you having Protein wise?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey, sorry it took me so long to reply. Well, about Protein, I really struggle to meet my goal, because I hate the rtd milkshakes. I am tired of them, all the vanilla flavor taste too sweet for me now and I can't stand it. I eat a lot of Beans Soup (red kidney, split peas), however, since I don't eat that much, I don't really get a lot of protein from it. I eat also chicken that was cooked with soup because it keeps it moisted and the nurse practitioner advised me to eat it that way... I eat scramble eggs with cheese and milk. Also, I drink close to one cup of milk, for some reason, I enjoy it cold and in the morning, specially after taking my multivitamin. I am buying a milk from kroger called carb master and has 11 grams of protein... also I eat half of a low fat cheese stick, like sharp cheddar. All these were tips that the nurse practitioner gave me during my 2 week post op. Next Thursday I will see her again for my 4 weeks post op. I hope the info was helpful.

I'm sorry to hear you are having such a painful experience.... i had some pain on day two. It was unbearable. It started right after my leak test. I made it through day two and woke up on day three feeling better. Keep walking and drinking Water slowly. The worst is almost over!

Good luck and sending nothing. Ut good vibes your way! Do everything your surgeon asks you too and walk as soon as you feel like you can! The more you walk, the faster you heal! I am three weeks post op! There are good things coming your way! @@aortiz1987 @@QueenOfTheTamazons

Meant to say i was sleeved on September 13th! I'm on stage 4, thick purees.... i agree, i shouldn't have broccoli just yet... i was at work earlier watching a coworker munch on it and thought i'd ask... any good meal suggestions, @@KristenLe?
