I went through the same. I felt like death for a few weeks. It’ll get better. The Vitamins make a major difference! Plus we had major surgery! Lots of adjustments and stuff.

No regrets! It's way too soon. Any surgery is going to knock you out for a few days and more than likely a few weeks. Give yourself time. It takes time to get used to all the changes. Deep breath. Take it slow. Believe me, it's worth it and you will not regret it.

I am starting my twelfth week out. Keeping regular foods down good! Since we need to stay away from fried foods, I bought an air fryer a couple weeks ago. It is awesome! Everything so far has turned out nice and crisp and good! The best investment I have made for a long time! I got the smallest size and it is perfe ct for two people. The others are way too big!

2 things I brought that were really helpful, were an extension cord and a heating pad.

I do and it was less than one week for approval

Here's the caveat...no matter how kindly and supportively we present a suggestion, the person who originally sought the 'advice' often replies in a testy manner that, "I didn't ask about that! I asked if a Taco Bell burrito supreme is okay to eat in the soft food phase. Only supportive responses, please!"
Regardless of how helpful and supportive a reply is, many people have the ulterior motive of only fishing around for validation of their poor decisions. And of course, when they start regaining weight a few years from now, the blame and anger will be displaced onto some entity other than themselves (e.g., "the sleeve failed me").

Don't usually like to get involved in conversations that aren't supportive in nature but wanted to share my opinion.....and that's all it is....my opinion. It's not my job to judge someone who is lying to themselves or making excuses for their behavior. It's counter productive and alienates people. We've all been in that place where others feel they know the best solution for our circumstances or know our journey better then we do. Critical and/or hurtful remarks are not helpful.......if they were none of us would be here. Being judged and negatively critiqued doesn't lend itself to improvement. Doesn't mean we "coddle" and make excuses for the choices or bad behavior - it means we help by offering what worked for us, what helped us get through the hard times, what may work instead of self sabotaging behavior. Suggestions, not criticism, being offered in a supportive, kind and helpful way are much more likely to make a difference. I try to remember we are all on a difficult journey and doing the best we can in any particular moment. I haven't walked in other people's shoes so I can't feel good about being critical of their particular situation. I can, however, share what works for me in a supportive way and hope it makes a difference.

I've been using straws the past week and no issues. I don't see what all the fuss is about, but maybe not everyone can use them as easily as I can.

At the very beginning I was weighing every few days. I currently weigh weekly but my weight loss has slowed down so I am moving to once a fortnight. Also I think it is important to consider other factors other than weight only, for instance my scale also measure fat and muscle % and I have purchase a special pair of leggings to measure waist and hips
