Best wishes for a great day tomorrow!

Best wishes for an easy surgery and speedy recovery!

I was sleeved 10/5 and other than some pain with one incision, things have been going great. I am down 12 pounds, and preparing to return to work Monday 10/17. Once I return to solid foods, what can i expect as far as weight loss per week? My starting weight was 337, day of surgery weight 314 and current weight 302.
The future looks bright!

Hey guys! Just wanted to share an update. I'm a few days past my 3 month mark and I'm down 63 pounds! This journey has been a struggle but so worth it. Good luck to everyone! (First pic was leaving the hospital after surgery)

So today I went to a wedding of a dear friend of mine. First off, I was able to find a awesome dress I could wear that didn't look like a mumu and, I discovered I fit into an 18/20. I've always been 26/28.
Next, at the wedding I came across people I haven't seen in years. All kept commenting on how much weight I lost and how great I look in the dress. Let me mention that for the above listed mumu reason, I haven't put a dress on in about 10 years. It was always slacks and a blazer.
I felt like a woman today. I felt pretty and playful and even caught myself flirting with people. This all before I've even had surgery. I honestly can't wait till I have my sleeve and become even smaller.

That's what I was saying yesterday, with my luck I would swallow it.. Sent from my SM-G870W using the BariatricPal App

Two weeks post sleeve and I too am ready to take a bite of certain food chewing and spitting out. I need help today I eat three pieces of sweetest fish while out shopping i was hungry. I feel full off of those Gummy things and I don't want them again

I will admit to chewing something without swallowing and spitting it out during my liquid only phase.
No judgement please!

I am 9 days post-op and have been so tempted to chew some real food and spit it out, but I am terrified I'll swallow it by accident and risk rupturing my sleeve. I have heard stories of people licking certain foods to get the flavor - at this point, I'm not above it.

Is there a way of doing this on the app?

Thank you for your detailed response. I also started smoking essential oils there's a thing called Monq and it's really amazing. Cece

Thank you. I was able to refrain from smoking this evening. I still went out with him and sat on the deck and talked but I just drank my tea while he smoked. . There is hope!!

Why?
I'm dropping pounds left and right, I took my last blood-thinner shot yesterday, and they moved my diet up to mushies.
Can we talk for a second about that.
I want to introduce you to my Lord and Savior Scrambled cheese eggs. They came back into my life last night and my eyes were opened to the Beauty and Joy that is Life. Angels sang, cherubs fired arrows, unicorns f*cked to Barry White songs, and Everything Was Right and Good in the world.
Yeah... I'm in a good mood. What?

I think she's looking for weight loss, not spouse loss. Smoking is a personal decision. Me having my wife continue to smoke was a great test for me.

Ah, the truth comes out. Kick him in the shins and put him out with the dog. Don't kiss him.

Especially blood clots afterwards. Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

Smoking slows down the healing, that's why they want you to quite. More chances of complications if you smoke. Your stomach heals slower and it may proton your need for the liquid phase. It also affects your lung capacity.
I would rather be able to switch to mushies on schedule, rather than keep on destroying my body any further.
I hope you have the willpower for this last hurdle!

My surgeon said I could keep smoking all throughout so I did. I actually had a smoke an hour before I went into my surgery.
Btw my surgery was flawless, he did an amazing job and said I was a pleasure to operate on after having two difficult ones before me. I also cheated on my pre-op diet with a Big Mac the day before. Yep I did it and own it!!! Hence why I was getting the surgery.
I feel that these rules are so subjective, some surgeons make you stop smoking some don't, some make you do a pre op diet for a month others a week like mine. It obviously shows if you screw up they can still operate on you, they just use it as a way to scare you to following what they ask. The risk is not high so don't sweat it if you mess up here or there.
