It is. I'm 8 weeks post op. Watching the WT loss and the life changes that come with it make the other stuff not so bad. HW: 265 SW: 250 CW: 212

My surgery was 6/7/17. I'm getting my fluids in. Getting all my proteins in is sometimes interesting but otherwise it's going ok. I've lost about 48 lbs (38 since surgery). From a size 22 to a 14/16 HW: 265 SW: 250 CW: 212

Continue your path...your doing great! HW: 265 SW: 250 CW: 215

I worried about that stuff too. I called my kids to tell them I loved them and reminded my wife about the life insurance policy...lol. Ur gonna take a nap and wakeup sore. U won't be hungry. Ur not gonna wake-up a size 3 so u will have a little time to get used to the new u, though I'm still shocked when I see myself in the mirror sometimes..lol. HW: 265 SW: 250 CW: 215

Boxed water? HW: 265 SW: 250 CW: 215

I'm an RN and I had my surgery 6/7/17. I'm fine. You will do better with all the standing after the weight loss. HW: 265 SW: 250 CW: 215

I'm about 7 weeks post op. I was kept for 2 days. I do agree that we tend to be discharged too early. As for the discomfort, I was taking Norco for about a week and a half. The first week was very uncomfortable. Did I say very? VERY... But it got better. By week 3-4 I had alot more energy and was walking in the park and by week 5, I started going to the gym.

I am 4 weeks post op and I think my biggest issue is not enjoying the prep that goes into cooking. So I'm often looking for pre-mede meals. I also need to do better at calorie counting. Tedious.... HW: 265 SW: 250 CW: 222

Eggs is one of the easiest things for me to eat. HW: 265 SW: 250 CW: 222

Wow u look good. Great job! Good luck with the ex WT loss too...lol HW: 265 SW: 250 CW: 222

Walking... Congratulations! Now begins your new life! HW: 265 SW: 250 CW: 222

Wow..u look like a whole other person. Great job! Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app

I felt alot of pull in my upper and when I would lay on my left side the first week post op. That's it. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app

I was sleeved 6/7. I take a walk through a nature trail at a park near my house. I was huffing and puffing on the way back but it felt nice to finally have the energy to do it. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app

I got my sleeve June 7. Yesterday and today I am so missing being able to eat a whole meal. [emoji22] Prior to surgery, I considered how I might feel losing one of my dearest coping mechanisms, but I didn't imagine it would feel like this. [emoji20] Oh well...this too shall pass.

Good luck OP. Rest well. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app

What I mean is, ur intake is considerably less than 2 weeks ago. The weight will come off if ur following the plan. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app

That's ok. I didn't either. Use ur nausea and pain meds early. Small sips all day. Follow ur doc's orders. U'll be ok. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app

Me too. I'm working on increasing my protein. BTW...The 1st baby food beef is 8g in 2.5oz! Mixed it with beef broth...not bad. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app

U are 11 days post op...u are not taking in enough calories to sustain the person u were 2 weeks ago. Not possible. I'm 7 days post so I KNOW ur not[emoji6]! Give it a minute. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app

May have been alot of water also. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app

My first 2 days were rough. I just slept and hurt. I didn't have the gas pains, I was very achy. I drank nothing the first day and very little the 1st post-op day. My surgeon kept me a second day because of the poor fluid intake. I'm drinking more today. Water, gaterade, and protein powder with water. And liquid Norco.... I'm going to assume I can consider that a fluid...he he. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app

I have been on this low-carb high-protein diet for about a week. But I am still not sure, do I count all carbs or just carbs from sugar? Is fiber counted in the carbohydrate intake? Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app

Well, I had hamburger patties, cheddar, shrimp, fish, spinich, and I bought protein drinks. But I don't think I'm getting enough protein..... I know I'm not getting enough protein. I'm just kind of unsure how to go about this whole thing. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app

My surg is scheduled for June 7 and I started the low carb high protein diet. I am so tired....is it supposed to be like this? Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app
