I think they actually taste better post surgery when you are on liquids and your choices are limited. Banana creme is yummy!

Did your insurance pay for the plastics?

Curious.... How has your BP been since surgery?

My doctor recommended ISOPURE. Got it at GNC. Needed 80 grams of protein a day, so 2 bottles every day. Did that for 4 days when I got home from surgery. Started full liquids today.

My doc has me on 80 grams of protein daily.

I also am witholding the truth. I'm going with an appendectomy. BUT realistically, people are going to know.

Stop and walk frequently! You don't want a blood clot!

Just finished the liquids. Had my surgery Tuesday. The liquids were VERY difficult. A few times I had small bites of food. But I can tell you this. Those cravings and hunger pains are GONE post op. Any time I felt hungry I had broth or Jell-O. As much as I wanted!

Had my sleeve yesterday at 730am. I was in pain and slept the rest of the day. Today I've been walking the hall and drinking 2 ounces of water every hour. No problems! Abdomen very sore.

Now I know why I was feeling like crap! My body was detoxing all the fat and processed food. Feel MUCH better now! Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

Same here! There are like 5 people that actually know. I purposefully didn't tell the ones I knew would be negative. Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

I have sleep apnea and it's not easy getting used to the mask, but if you try EVERY night to fall asleep with it on (even if it only lasts a few minutes) eventually you will get used to it. But you have to try every night. Now I can not sleep without it!! Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

I guess I'm most terrified of giving into temptations and not losing the weight, or worse - losing it and gaining it back! Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

Surgery scheduled 12/20 and I am TERRIFIED that I won't be able to follow the post op diet when I return to regular foods. Right now I can only think about pizza. ???? Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

Every day I question if I'm going the right thing!!
