darlingdumpling reacted to LipstickLady in Are you ever truly prepared for this?
It's the "easy way out", remember?
Nope. I don't think anyone can really be fully prepared because everyone's experience is different. Even those who have textbook recoveries can't know the impact of the restriction we feel after having a full capacity stomach. I am not saying that it's not totally easy (or totally hard) for some, but I can't imagine how one could be full AWARE of what exactly is about to happen.
This is why I am so amused at the pre-op people who give such "stern" or "educated" advice. What they read/heard/researched is NOTHING like the reality they are about to face in many cases, and certainly not in everyone's case.
I am 3.5 years out. I am successful. I know what to do and what not to do. FOR ME. I am not an expert on anyone BUT ME. And I suck at that at times, too.

Hi everyone. I am really happy that I stumbled across this app. I was sleeved 5 days ago. Anyone experience a real achey pain in mid rib to few inches above belly button area post op? Really feeling it tonight...
Over the last few days, I've realized now more than ever that I have to retrain the brain when it comes to food. It's not like, for example, quitting smoking. A cigarette, you don't pick up again & you are good to go... you quit. But with food, we have to eat it 6 times a day... and have to continue making healthy decisions all day long.. so I've decided that I just need to kept it simple and meal prep... & be prepared with Vitamins & supplements & making time to work out... That is something I have struggled with in my past million attempts to get fit.. but i know this one is different

I would probably just order the wonton Soup and eat the broth only.

darlingdumpling reacted to kyboo1972 in 3 week Post Op
Had my visit with the surgeon today. I will be 3 weeks post op tomorrow. Everything is going great so far and I've not had an issue with any food that I've been allowed to try so far. Other than the one spoon too much which i quickly learned to recognize that before it happens.. That's a terrible feeling for real!! I am down 21 lbs since surgery and down 121.4 lbs since Jan 14th 2016. Sometimes it's hard to believe. Hope everyone is have a great Monday!
