Thinking of you Mindi! It was the best decision that I have ever made. 6 week follow up today and I am down 32 pounds and cleared for all exercises. It is worth it!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Is slept a lot as well. My doc and nutritionist said to get the Water in and once I was done with that to try protein. All water first and rest is important. I set a time for 2 minutes so that I would take a sip of water. It took a little time but it got better.

My nutritionist says to get at least 50 grams of carbs a day for proper brain function. That is in addition to the 60-90 grams of Protein and 64+ oz of Water. I had surgery one month ago and am down 27 pounds total, 19 since surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Welcome and congrats to everyone! Today is my one month surgery anniversary and It was well worth it. My family worried too. I think that this is natural because they love you so much. The more they learned and the closer I got to surgery, the more confident they felt. It is a rollercoaster. I started solid food yesterday. So far things are going okay but I am finding that my taste buds really did change. I am learning to eat all over again and now that there is solid food and wait times for drinking, it isn't easy to get all of my Water in. I am doing it, but barely. So glad to be doing this with you all! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was able to sleep in my bed no problem. I found that so we so tired after spending a night in the hospital that I passed out quickly. I have been comfortable and I even found sleeping on my side okay. Sleeved nov 2, SW 253 CW 228 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Luckgrl, I am in Des Moines. I had Cahalan. I too use MyFitnessPal to keep track of my Water and food. I also bought a Fitbit. The Fitbit and MyFitnessPal talk to each other which is nice. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I set a timer to remind me to take a sip of Water every two minutes. I also got up to walk often. Do what you can and don't be afraid to ask for anti nausea meds when you need them. I will be cheering for you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Everything is great! I haven't had any issues at all. Right now I am really craving real food instead of liquids. Other than that things are good Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
