I am starting soft foods tomorrow. Just curious if anyone had oysters or clams on soft food? On my list it notes I can have soft chicken, deli meat, fish, eggs and beans. So I'm not sure if oysters may be too chewy for this phase?

This is dependent on genetics and the cause of your dimples. If your dimples are purely caused by fat in the face, they will go away. If it is genetic (do either of your parents have dimples? Did you have dimples as a child?), they will become more noticeable as the fat diminishes and the muscles show more (non fat dimples are caused by muscles that are too short). Because dimples usually decrease with age, I would think, if you did not have them as a child, you likely will lose them when you lose weight. When I was younger, I had very noticeable dimples that actually diminished as I gained more weight in college. Now that I have started to lose again, they are becoming more prominent again.

I had the sleeve on the 26th but having children was one of my main reasons for doing so.I have been told to wait atleast 18 months before pregnancy.

Holy moly @jacqueline5678 and @Belle_Mimi i was sleeved on the 26th by Dr. Hart as well. Walking really helps getting water to go down. I am pretty much only ingesting protein shakes and water since I can't hold much else. Good Luck on your journey!

Hello all! I'm a little concerned about my progress right now. It's not lack of progress that has me slightly worried, it's how quick the progress is. I want to make sure that something isn't actually wrong. I feel generally ok, a little woozy sometimes, but that's about it. I had my surgery May 26th. My preop was only one day, but i lost 4 lbs in that day. O_O. Ever since, I have been losing 2 to 3 lbs A DAY. I am down to 239.2 this morning. Losing 16 lbs in 5 days sounds a little crazy. I am getting in about 70-80g of protein a day with about 33 to 45 oz of liquid. I was honestly expecting to lose about 2-3 lbs a week with this surgery. Did this happen to anyone else? I am even having regular bowel movements with minimal discomfort (had one on Sunday, Monday and yesterday). I guess I should note too, that I don't walk that much. I have short spurts of energy were i walk for about 15 minutes straight, and the rest of the day is just moving around the house.

So far I haven't felt depressed or angry about the surgery. I have felt a little weak and sleepy though. And I am constantly thinking about food. I get soft foods Saturday and I have made so many plans. Thank you for your words of encouragement

I like premier protein. It's ready made with 30g of protein.

Yesterday went pretty well. I pretty severe apnea so my oxygen levels dropped low and freaked everyone out but besides that it went great. Been burping a lot. And for the most part all the gas is gone. @joann454 it does feel like I did a bunch of crunches. But I can live with this soreness. Only concern right now is that I am peeing ALOT. It started about every hour and now it's about every 2 hour.

Is there anyone near Cumming Georgia? I have my sleeve tomorrow and looking for buddies nearby.

I'm in Cumming. Surgery is tomorrow.

Hello! Just wanted to introduce myself. After starting this process back in November 2016, my surgery is now here. I have my surgery tomorrow and I am excited and anxious all at once. Hoping I can connect with people near me. I am in Cumming, GA and my surgeon is Christopher Hart at Atlanta Bariatric.
