I hate counting calories. Tried it, hatef it. Never will do it successfully. So im doing the next best thing n keeping track of my Protein since thats one of the most important things after WLS. Downloaded app called PROTEIN TRACKER. Blue icon with a white dumbbell. Love it. Check it out. Slim n sexy...summer 2017 here we come ????

I just downloaded it today and luv it. Its called MONITOR YOUR WEIGHT has an icon of a blue scale that says 120 with a yellow graph line. Slim n sexy...summer 2017 here we come ????

Ok, im going to have to try that. I'm going to roll with you on the potatoes. Had them like 4 times in last 2 weeks. I never ate them too much b4 WLS anyway n now im all potatoed out. Im done. Like u im on Google looking for recipes but im trying to increase my Protein intake. I see diff now. The more protein i drink, less hungry i am. Ahhh, if only they had protein DORITOS. Slim n sexy... woohoo WLS Summer 2017 here we come

Hi @@KitsuneMiko Glad to hear ur home and doing well. Slim n sexy...summer 2017 here we come ????

The rib pain, try a warm pad, they cut muscle on right to get to the stomach so that side is most sensitive. Hope that helps. The diarrhea I'd talk to your doc, make sure thats ok. Sorry ur still feeling bad. Feel better hun. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Hi hope your doing better, by now the pain should be better. My doc gave me stool softener when i was discharged and fiber first i was taking metamucil, so-so not bad. Once on mushy foods a friend gave me a fiber one bar and that was it. I love them and they work. They satisfy the desire for a sweet and keep the poops consistent. I tried brownie, love it n im not a brownie fan. Also cheesecake bar. I eat half a bar as evening snack and go poops normal in the morning. My doc said they were ok to eat and to kerp in mind the Protein binds you and as you add more regular food to ypur diet your poops will be more consistent. So far so good. Good luck.

Try a ricotta bake. Google recipe. Its a bariatric recipe. Im 3 weeks post op n can have it already. I had the same pizza craving as you and the bake took care of it. Good luck. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

YAAAAY. Let me tell you that was my breaking point. I couldnt laugh hard anymore. That was it. Next stop WLS. Congratulations, looking fwd to that day in my near future. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

@@k9nana I was told the same thing and i was so mad because it took me a year to decide to do the sleeve that i had a melt down on my doc. Afterwards we spoke and he advised it all depended on how bad the hernia was and agreed to review my case again with radiologist and his surgical team. A week later the sleeve was back in play. I got sleeved, esophageal hiatal hernia repair and gall bladder removal 1.6.17 and thankfully all went well. Have a talk with your doc. Good luck.

The pain everywhere the heavier i got - back, knees, feet. HBP meds, then diagnosed PREDIABETIC. Lastly was starting to get incontence. Couldnt laugh too hard anymore. That was it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Thats normal. Im 21 days post op n i was sick n tired of my shakes by day 7. Take a break from the shakes. Try the Protein flavored waters/juices at GNC. They have high 40 protein also try unflavored Protein powder. Good luck Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Hi all. I got sleeved 1/6/17. On my food list from Nut. is TRUE LEMON. I already used it prior 2 WLS, been using it in my tea since day2 post op. No issues. Actually tea was my very first meal post op. Its dehydrated powdered lemon, sold at spmkt in a shaker in seasonings isle or packets where crystal lite is. Also comes True Lime. Both are great. Give it a try. Good luck. Feel better. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Ughhh, yuck, tried them, i couldn't do it. I bought calcium citrate powder from now brand at puritan pride.com $7. i love it. Dissolves completely in juice/water n has no taste at all. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved 1/6 and i too was petrified of a leak. You need both Water and Protein. The reality is get in as much as you can of both plus broth in small sips the first week. It was very difficult to drink and i just didnt want anything at all but like Rick said do the math it helps. I made a chart for both fluids n meds, worked great. I put 16oz bottles in the fridge and marked them half way so i could drink half every hour. Replace some with warm tea also. The first week i could only do 24oz, i now do 48oz. Pace yourself, take some GAS X also to eliminate the gas n you'll see u can get alot more fluids in as the days pass n swelling goes down. Turning point for me was about day7-8 post op. It gets better, walk, get ur water, protein and fiber/stool softeners in and you'll be ok. Good luck. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Ricotta bake. Google recipe, really good. chicken thighs, ground turkey. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

My plan only said no alcohol for 30 days, after that keep drinks to a minimum as 1 drink could intoxocate you after the surgery. We shall see. Im counting down the days. Lol. One place i go puts u on ur a$$ with just 2 margaritas :-) n im not a lightweight. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Hi im 19 days post op. Only threw up once when tried tuna but was told its normal as you incorporate foods into your diet. As for the fears, dont worry, its normal. Many of us had it. I tried talking myself out of it many times the week prior then just told myself shut the hell up ur not going to bootcamp 7 days a week, im doing this. That was it. 19 days later n 22lbs down. Looking fwd to a real bathing suit this yr. No more wearing tents to the beach :-). Yay Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Hi hope you're feeling a little better by now. Day 19 post op for me. The first 3 days were pure hell n pain for me. Cried my eyes out day 1+2, think it was my hormones going nuts bec our body just went through a major trauma. By day 7 i had no more pain but i was loyal to my gas x day 3+. Made all the difference. I too am a side sleeper and can honestly say days 7-13 i was crabby bec i was so sick of sleeping w a pillow tucked under my belly but day 14 the pillow tuck ended and i slept on my belly. Best nights sleep ever :-). It gets better. You'll be ok, hang in there. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Most def ask your doc. It probably depends on how many days post op. I started bacitracin like day 4 or 5 post op daily for about a week. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Cool, thanks, look fwd to ur docs response. Ps... dont worry i think that dang pre op diet will keep your weight down for surgery. Fingers crossed. You'll be fine. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Just had my follow up yest, day 18 post op, and i asked my doc about that. He stated the big incision hurts the most bec thats where they cut muscle to get to the stomach n gallbladder - mine was removed.... then it all made perfect sense to me.
