I am 6 days post op and I hate wearing a bra due to not being able to breath all the way. I do find sports bras a little more comfortable but underwire is a no-go right now.

I get mine from the Bariatric center but I know Amazon has it, maybe you can't get it faster there.

I wasn't like that. Your pre-op diet seems more liberal than what mine was. Mine was 2 shakes - breakfast and lunch, and a lean meat with veggies for dinner. No snacks.

I would also add.... no sugars (including fruit) or starches because that makes your liver produce insulin. If it can't push those extra sugars into your fat cells, then it creates fat cells on your liver and stores it there.

Mine went away by day 2 and I am now on day 6 and I haven't experienced it at all. Talk to your surgeon because you need to get in enough fluids. Or try slowing down in drinking and eating. I read that it happens when your body is trying to get food into your stomach.

If you want to be more regular try probiotics. The live kind that is encapsulated so they can survive your stomach acids.

Congrats lady, you are doing an amazing job!

Muscle building has more to do with the quality and amount of protein and not about the amount of calories. There are vegans out there who are body builders and I can tell you they are not eating that many calories in veggies.

I am 5 days post op and I felt like I could have went back yesterday but my only concern is I get hyper focused and would forget to drink water. I am only taking a week off and I was outpatient. Oh, I work at a lab bench.

Nice, I am sort of jealous of the pic with Sam! Lol! If it was Dean I would be totally J! Congrats lady!

Congrats and just keep having positive thoughts!!!!!

Mine too. 2 Protein shakes, one lean meat and veggies for dinner. No Snacks.

Pre op liquid diet is the shrink your liver. Having a high sugar, high carb diet can produce a fatty liver which makes it hard for the surgeon to work and puts you as increase risk. If the liver is too large than the surgeon may have to open you up fully or either deny you the surgery. So try not to cheat.

Okay, so I would like to hear people's opinion on how they would deal with my upcoming situation. On Dec 10th and 11th I have two dinners I am suppose to go to. Dec 10th is my company Christmas dinner and show. Dec 11th, my dad will be here and is taking everyone out to a buffet. I will still be on my liquid phase. I want to be around everyone but I don't think I will he able to eat anything and I won't be able to fake it. I am thinking about not going to either dinner. What would you do?

Cool... So they really work, huh? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App I believe so and they came highly recommend by my dietician and she is extremely picky on what she recommends along with the surgeon.

I use the multivitamin. I wish I knew about the iron one before I brought liquid iron.

Your stats are similar to mine, so I hope at 10 months my weight loss is similar and it looks like you don't have any excess skin!

Did they check to make sure you aren't dehydrated?

If you can't reach him over the phone, go to the ER!

They didn't use a catheter on me or anyone else but I was outpatient so that may have something to do with it.

I started my Protein drink 2 days post op. They wanted me to start next day but I was barely drinking Water. I do use thinned protein nothing thick

I like fusion. It's light and taste great with just water.

Maybe build up some more muscle as well. Muscle weighs more than fat.

You look amazing! YOU GO GIRL! (bringing back 90's phrases)

Eat bacon? Jk sort of! Are you considered underweight now? If not, your body might just want to be smaller.
