Hey Lia!!!! You look amazing girl! Wtg! I accidentally deleted our KIK message and haven't been able to get in touch with you. Hmu!!! Xoxo

Alhamdiallah 3al salameh. The hardest part is over. Now comes the fun part! I'm 3.5 months out and alhamidallah this has been the best thing I've ever done for myself. I'm in NYC too.

I was given a stage 1 liquid tray to eat in the hospital and when they saw I tolerated the liquids just fine they brought in stage 2 tuna salad in the hospital. I've been on pureed foods since leaving the hospital. And while you may all miss eggs cheese and or fish. You are all definitely losing weight faster than I ever will. I'm 10'days post op and lost 4 lbs. I also came out of the hospital 8lbs heavier post op, I lost those 8 lbs and 4 on top of them but in the long run I'm only really down 4 lbs. enjoy your process. Each person is on a different regime based on their surgeon. But I'm noticing that those on clear liquids then all liquids that slowly transition to a pureed diet are def losing more weight post op. Always look on the bright side! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I started my all liquid pre-op diet 272 on 1/17 and lost 18lbs. Day of surgery I weighed 254 and they started me on puréed foods on day 2 at the hospital, came home and weighed 262. I'm now 9 days post-op and I weigh 250. So while it's only 4 lbs down since surgery. I'm also eating three puréed meals a day and drinking my shakes and working up to 64 oz of liquids. I believe that the puréed food stage does stall the weight loss for a bit. And it's totally normal. My doc said not to worry so I'm not going to worry. Just keep up with getting your liquids and protein in. Exercise once a day or walk or whatever type of movement works for you and you'll be fine. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's scary. Maybe he'll prescribe some antibiotics or something for that. I know Water in the lungs is not a good thing. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have a journal book, I am 3 days post-op, I log my protein intake, liquid intake and I also noted my measurements and weight. I plan to use it through this whole process. I find it easier than an app especially because our intake is like 200-600 calories for quite sometime. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks guys. I emailed my surgeon just to be on the safe side. Sadly I am coughing up some nasty green mucus like stuff...been doing my breathing exercises and I feel like they're making it worse Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 3 days post-op and can't stop coughing. I quit smoking 7 weeks ago for the surgery and I feel like my lungs are cleaning themselves out but it's painful on my incisions every time I cough. Anyone else go through this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Same thing here. Sleeved 1/31 and I barely eat a teaspoon of yogurt and I'm full, teaspoon of tuna and I'm full and I can't drink a 1/4 of my Protein shake. I've been focusing on drinking Water and teas. I find that I generally sip on warm tea anyway and I can drink about 4 oz from a cup, so tea 5 x a day = 20 oz plus some water and broth and the shakes (those count as liquids) I've been tallying 40 oz of liquids. Not bad for someone that's just 3 days out. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Do you order online or in store? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App Amazon has it. I bought one at a health food store that has a whole aisle of just herbal teas Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Smooth move tea....works miracles! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Low sodium vegetable broth is pretty good. I mixed half a cup veggie and half a cup chicken the other day just to switch things up a bit. It gets so boring on these liquid diets. I'm wrapping up day 11. 3 more to go!! Woohooo!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Way to go! For all those naysayers. You don't need to believe her actually you don't need to do anything at all! This site is meant to encourage, support and inform everyone of other people's journeys. This is her journey don't shit on it for whatever reason. That's just a bad reflection on you. If she's lying and I'm not saying she is, karma has a way of catching up to people like that. So just let it be and please keep this board positive. We're all here for the same reasons, let's not forget that. She could be short and a 30+lb weight loss on a short person isn't the same as a tall or taller person. Plus her legs look super skinny in the right pic. Looks like she lost 30+lbs all from her chest and abdomen. Either way. Congrats! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi @@iKarma1408 The time is flying by. I'm almost there. Your date is not too far away either. Do you have to do a pre-op diet? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
