Hello All, I'm 12 days out and other than being tired and having an extremely terrible bout of medication induced constipation, I have been doing well. I have been drinking 2 Protein shakes a day and three 2oz full liquid meals ( often times broth ). I have a little bit of cottage cheese as well. I haven't had any problems with eating at all so far. Haven't really been hungry to speak of but have yet to feel full at all. I have been reading about food getting stuck, throwing up, etc.... I almost don't feel like anything has been done to my stomach. Am I just fooling myself? Am I in for a shock when i have solid foods? I would really appreciate some input. Thanks

One week post op and I havent lost any weight yet? I have only been eating three 2 oz meals a day (full liquid diet) and 2 premier Protein shakes a day. Should I be concerned? Or am I expecting too much too soon? Please help! Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

My surgery is on Thursday. been so busy getting everything at home/work in order. Had my preop appointment today at St Luke's. Everyone was great but wasn't the most fun I have ever had. Well it's a small price to pay for a new life. So So Dr Juarez is you doc. so when do you start the liquid diet? are you going to be drinking Bariatric Advantage?

My date is set for 8/25/2016. Am hoping to find a mentor who can guide me thru the ropes. I have done a lot of research, however I would love to have to guidance of a pro. I mean who better to talk to and ask questions of than someone who has already been successful. Let me know if you want to chat. Jackie
