  1. It's def not easy! Especially when you are in charge of preparing certain things you can't even eat! All for a good cause though! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

    Confused about the pains!

    The pain really isn't all that bad. I had asked for non narcotics (so basically Tylenol) because I knew the harder stuff tends to make people sick and I was completely off of them by day 2. You will experience some discomfort but gas and all that but it really won't be all that bad unless you try and do a lot of extra moving around. I will say getting in and out of bed was tough, but nothing you won't be able to handle. Good luck! Don't worry you'll do fine! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

  6. I am currently 4 days post op and am wondering what's a good whey Protein Isolate to get. I know there's like a million kinds but I just kind of want to get an idea as to what would be best for us.

    Why can't I get the support I need[emoji17]

    Yeah I had the issue for a while too. Only my family knows that when I want something I'm going to do what I have to do to get it. So they don't even try to fight too much lol but just go for what YOU feel is right. You're an adult and can make those types of decisions for yourself. Once they see the health benefits and know that you're really serious about it they'll come around! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

  9. To be honest I was supposed to be on a 2 week all liquid diet pre op...but didn't follow it much. I worked at a fast pace restaurant and sticking strictly to the diet would have resulted in me have a throbbing headache mid shift and most likely passing out. So I modified it to what I know most people are allowed to do. I'd have one premier Protein shake for Breakfast and have a no carb, high protein lunch and dinner. In between if I got hungry I'd drink broth, and of course tons of Water. I ended up losing 12 pounds in that amount of time. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
  10. I am now 2 days post op and my back is killing me! I do have a lot of soreness from the incisions but I can't even get comfortable enough to go to sleep! (I'm a big stomach sleeper so that's obviously out) I had to spend an extra day in the hospital so I figured thats what it was but even after medicine and laying in my own bed it has yet to go away! Has anyone else experienced this? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

    Pre op diet question

    I was allow decaf right after. They actually gave it to me in the hospital every day with all my meals Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
  12. College Inn chicken with vegetables and herbs is the best!!! I used kt for the pre op diet and it was just what I needed! All you have to do is strain it for post op and you're good to go! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

    Finally done

    Had mine yesterday too! Still in the hospital trying to get liquids down but much better than I was yesterday or even earlier this morning Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
  17. Sooo I had my sleeve less than 24hrs ago and I feel like crap...obviously I know. The pain isn't too bad but the gas pressure is intense! On top of that every time I get up to pee I get the hiccups...which is very painful! As also whenever I try to adjust myself I get nauseous out of nowhere and end up "throwing up/dry heaving. My doctor also said that the procedure its self was a little difficult because my stomach was really thick, which is unusual. Has anyone experience any of these things post op? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
  18. They gave me like 3 different ones because even after the first couple doses I was still nauseous. But Metter now though! Just a little uncomfortable. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
  19. I was pleasantly surprised that the pain wasn't bad at all. I am on non narcotics, just because I didn't want to get sick from them, but the nausea and the gas pain is what makes it so uncomfortable! Thank you sooo much!???? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
  20. On my way to the hospital right now! Very excited but also super nervous! Wish me luck!!! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
