Ok had to stop eating plain bread and rolls during pre op. I remember as a child taking a piece of bread and just smelling it like it was heaven. I could eat just rolls on thanksgiving and be happy. I'm on full liquids now but prior to surgery when I would switch to whole grain bread and maybe have 1 slice with Breakfast, I always felt less bloated and it seemed the weight came off easier. Mashed potatoes are another one I plan on avoiding for awhile at least. I could live on then and realize that it will be too tempting for me right away. I'm trying to find healthy recipes on Pinterest so I can help my family eat healthier as well. It's hard especially when it hurts to drink and my husband is on the other couch crunching on potato chips that he "bought for his lunch for next week". But I decided to commit to this change and am determined to do my best. Any suggestions for finding good recipes?

I was sleeved Wednesday. It hurts so bad to sip. I set an alarm for 5 mins and take a tiny sip every time the annoying thing goes off but I'm getting my 2 oz an hr. I think the timer helps rather than staring at the clock.

Right with you. Sleeved Wednesday. I habe horrible gas pain in my collar bone. Just started passing gas today. Can barely get 1 oz of Fluid in each hour. It hits my stomach like a rock and stabs andI feel full and nauseated. I can't wait to feel better. I should be going home today. Just worried about getting enough fluids in. I can only do Water and lemonade everything else has a horrible taste and feels too heavy. I can't sleep at night I'm up like every hour and can't get comfortable. My I V went bad and my while hand and wrist is swelled. I was coughing up blood yesterday they said it was from the intubation. I am so regretting this right now.

Walk and try heat. Nothing really helps though. You just have to tough it out. That was the worst pain of the whole thing.

When I had galbladder surgery it took 2 weeks for the shoulder pain to wear off, it really hurt! It's one of my biggest fears going into wls. However, it will pass eventually. Try to use pillows to prop yourself in a comfortable position, keep using the heating pad, and use pain relievers.

I've got my 6 months in with my family physician! Went pretty fast! Now on to the next chapter of the process, feeling more excited now! Best of luck to everyone who is on this journey!!

Here's a side by side of pre-op vs 4 days post-op. Can't wait to see how they look once the swelling goes down.

I am in the hospital all dressed up in a lovely hospital gown, hospital undies and compression stockings (so glamorous) and now waiting to be whisked away and "bypassed". Hoping everything goes well!

Headed to the hospital in 30 minutes

Well, it's finally here. Surgery today at 12:30. I have major butterflies in my stomach, well some of it is mag citrate lol. Anyway, ready to start the next phase. I'm leaving for the hospital in less than hour. Wish me luck. I wrote down my stats and stocked up on Protein and Vitamins. I'll keep everyone updated.

I've had my Sleeve since 2015. Two years and going strong!! Best decision of my life! I just hope to continue doing my best to look n feel great. I never want to go back to before!

Mine had a list of questions like what have you tired in past, why do you want surgery, any depression, what are doing to lose weight now, etc

If it's not a money issue with both of you being out of work. I think of you habe someone who can help out a little for a week or so with driving to appt You can go to the store and stock up on groceries and Protein Shakes etc. It may still be possible. If not maybe push it back a month. My surgeon actually took a month off whenI would've had surgery so I was pushed to May 31. But it'll get there eventually. Good luck and its normal to be upset. You're not selfish.

Look on Groupon

I'm so sorry. I'm remarried 17 years now. It may seem hard at first (he was a long time cheater and abusive) but I soon realized how freeing it was. You can do this and you deserve to be loved and treated like you are the only one on this planet that matters.

I have a couple of appts. I have a pre op with the nutritionist then one for testing and then one with the surgeon. They said my nutr will be about 2 hrs then I'm not sure about the pre admission testing or surgeon appt.

I wonder if your pcp knowing about the procedure would be allowed to sign the papers. I know mine would probably tell me I'm crazy lol. She wasn't that on board with me having weight loss surgery either. I like her but she's very conservative with any treatments and I'm considering changing bit my surgery is May 31. Is like to be done with all of that before I look into a new doctor in case of complications she already knows me. I already know I'll need plastic surgery on my belly though.

This is crazy. How do you lose a chart. I sat in the waiting room over 2 hrs once and they were closing and the girl forgot to pull my chart so they didn't remember I was in their waiting room. But this wls journey has been the most stressful thing and crap like this only makes it harder.

Started in October, scheduled for May 31.
