Has anyone else figured out a way to deal with fuzzy teeth? Or dealing with geographic tongue? It seems like no matter how often i brush my teeth they get an icky texture soon after.
I am super worried about my breath too. If it feels this gross its got to be rank.

I know people say don't weigh yourself, but I weighed myself as soon as I got home from the hospital. I gained 5 pounds while in the hospital (because they pumped me full of fluids and you absorb a lot into your tissues after surgery). Anyhow, I have been weighing myself daily and my weight has fallen every day. I am down 26 pounds in 3 weeks, so I'm happy!

I went to Mass today. 5 1/2 weeks out. No problems.

I had no problem with restaurants blending Soup for me. Just ask.

Many restaurants have seasonal Soup now like butternut or pumpkin soup. Call a few places locally and see

Depending on the restaurant you may be able to get them to blend your Soup. You could also consider a broth-based soup and just eat the broth or get a creamed soup.

I had them about a month out. Not sure if episcopalians have a different recipe but wasn't an issue we also have gluten free body of Christ for those who request.

I have also enjoyed a great bit of relief from Biofreeze. I have a spray bottle of it and I spray my shouldered and neck area a couple times a day. Just don't use it WITH a heating pad. Sent from my KFTBWI using the BariatricPal App

Thanks, @blizair09. It was a good visit. OK to drive. OK to move on to pureed foods, IF I get in 65 oz of liquid a day (I have been getting in about 40). THAT was incentive enough for me!! I am cranking these liquids back and enjoyed about 2T of applesauce for lunch and 2T of Tomato Soup for dinner. HEAVEN.

I've thought about "this time last week" about a million times this week!
Good luck tomorrow.

@@blizair09 you and I had very similar experiences. Same surgery date too. Feels good to be a week out. My mind periodically reminds me how I felt "this time last week". ???? can only think it will only get better from here. Post op appt tomorrow. Hoping for driving clearances and a stage 4 (pureed foods) permission. Only discomfort now is the incision where the drain port was. Sent from my KFTBWI using the BariatricPal App

You are a better man than me. I felt like absolute hell the night after the surgery and the two days after. On the third day post-op, I started to turn a corner and every day since, I have gotten better and better. Thank God for the pain pills!!

KristenLe nailed it. Put pizza, and everything else, aside for a while and focus on changing your relationship with food. If you can do that while the weight is "forced" to come off, you'll be much more equipped to continue to lose and maintain when your body normalizes and good choices become the primary driver of your weight and health.

I feel like this post was written by me. I had surgery yesterday. The gas pain is unbearable. All I want to do is cry. I can deal with the incision pain, but this gas pain is unbelievable. It makes everything hurt.

I was sleeved last Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday night, Thursday, and Friday were awful. But on Saturday, things started to improve and have steadily gotten better every day. Now, at Day 8 post-op, I am feeling pretty good. I have to remember that my body is still in a fragile state and that I can't overdo things (or pick up things -- that is the one that is killing me), but overall, I am comfortable.
Just keep powering through this bad part. Good things and good times are on the horizon.

Happy Birthday, my October sisters. I made a commitment to myself last year that it would be the LAST year my weight controlled me. I had my sleeve on 9/28 and my birthday is tomorrow. Feeling so good about making good on this promise to myself. Even told my hubby "no presents this year- you are going to be buying me SO MANY new clothes! :)"
I am Day 7, and other than feeling a little weak and tired this morning, am feeling better than I have in the last week. More confident I can do this.
Happy birthday. I hope both of you have a blessed and wonderful day!

I would add, if I were you and if you have one, a soft easy to latch (front if possible) bra.
I have only underwires and am a bigger chested girl.
I can not stand being out in public without a bra, but the incision lines (I also had a hernia repair) are right where my underwires rub and bras feel like barbed wire on me. If you have a soft, non underwire, bra- you may "enjoy" wearing that one home rather than underwires. I wait here in my house until my neighbors appear gone and then go for my walk. No need to scare the children!

Oh and good luck! The first 48 hours sucked for me, but 7 days out and I am feeling MUCH better. Just take one day at a time!

I just started my Prilosec this morning. It was a capsule and I was a little nervous about it. Nexiums are MUCH smaller. But the nurse said I should be taking them. I am hoping this will alleviate the gurlging feelings in my stomach. I swear I am keeping my hubby up at night, SO loud! I am thinking they must be gas pains/noises, because I rarely feel hunger, other than "head hunger" which I deal with, but is getting better. Other than the grilled burgers my family enjoyed last night.... ugh... sippin' my broth, sippin my broth.< /p>
You might have some acid, but it could also just be legit hunger. Keep pushing your liquid (I am doing TERRIBLE at this) and your Proteins (ditto.) But I just keep plugging away.
