,4th July . single mum of two. Sent from my Swift 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

We were told no swallowing for 6 weeks. I used a pill crusher. Now I just cut in half and swollow 5 Weeks out. Sent from my Swift 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

No idea but I have this pain sometimes. 5 weeks out

221 to 224lbs in a week. I was quite prepared for stalls, that would not have bothered me , but 3lbs gain? I am quite offended by my Body right now. Depressing. ( 4th of July 2017 was my surgery date)

I know this sounds strange. But I watch documentaries online of 600lb people eating greasy food. ( not fat shaming at all, i am still fat just to be clear) But watching it helps me remember why I did this and what could have happened if i carried on how i was , and to stick to the plan , im 4 weeks post op. I find myself watching these all night , I never used to do this. Does anyone else do this?

Sorry mine was pretty basic, but even on liquid different places have their own rules. EG i was not allowed yogurt others were. Crystal light, water, broth, pretty much all i had. - 4th july i had my surgery

Sorry if my responce sounded insensitive. Your feelings are valid! 20 years is a long time you both invested for you to not be able to communicate how you feel. We all kno you were hot big or small Sent from my Swift 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

So.. When you were fat your husband did not want to take you anywere, now your not as fat he wants to show you off. .. Thats not human at all divorce him pronto. Joke. I would be hurt to , but he is human your looking what he considers hot and wants to show you off, he loved you when you were fat but did not want to show you off, but he still loved you. Your friends jelous, what can ya do?

Hi I only had surgery 4th july 17 so very new. but i obvcourse will be following my surgeons plan but i am in the uk so they do not really ask us to weigh food more to eat a balanced diet, like we are not told to reduce carbs, my nutrionist, doesnt want me to do low carb, but i feel its a good idea for example. so i plan to follow my dieticians/nut/biatric teams advice. but i already ignore some foods they say im allowed to have like ice cream she said one scoop is not going to stop me losing weight, but i. focus on the fact this board is full of americans and while uk is more relaxed about diet post surgery , how strict americans are makes me doubt my plan alot.

you look great , did you have plastics you are not saggy at all. i have now 80lbs to lose needed to lose 100 4th july this year. im still confused i hate weighing food but i dont think i would lose weigh trusting myself wish i could

Lucky your enjoying puree stage i hate it , one week till soft food. its such an effort pureeing everything

he is asking if he can have this now.

5 days in??? have you even been given a plan from your surgeon? no your supposed to be on a liquid diet, im 4 weeks in and my food stillhas to be pureed.

This makes sense. I'm disabled so don't move much my surgeon and team know that. But 6 weeks out il start some adaptable excersise. Sent from my Swift 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks for answering. I was told 800 till goal. What made you increase at 6m? Sent from my Swift 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

Wow!! 118 is just a dream I don't think I could get there I can dream haha 130 from 244(now 224) seems unrealistic to me. can I ask your start weight . how long it took you to get there. And what you ate daily and if you excersise? Its nice so see someone who got to their goal. Sent from my Swift 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

no offence but were you pregnant in your before? my tummy is huge but yours is really rounded in your before

If I were you I would stop reading horror stories, that is not the research you need to do . . I went to hosp 7.30am, i was seen by the anestesiologist, given anti sickness meds and another anti clotting injection i waited my turn till 3pm went down they werechatting to me next min i was asleep i woke up a sking when its going to go ahead it was done. i was dry heaving or two days pain was bad but two days later i was fine totaly worth it why worry about pain , the pain of obesity was much more problamatic for me . 4th july was my surgery i was a nervous reck i cried and cried thinking i was going to die in surgery lol i went to the hosp alone and did it all alone as my mum was home with my kids. it really isnt so bad my advice is to breath and follow pre op diet if you have one you will be fine

Some people are just like that, it is quite sad when i think about it . sometimes i think in reality people are just showing off and know its a good loss but i give people the benifit of the doubt.

It does not matter how much anyone else has lost, as long as you are following the plan you are fine 13 days after surgery your not even fully heald yet, have you ever lost 14 lbs in 13 days before ? put it into prospective. It is not a competition , just keep doing what your doing making sure your keeping your liquids up . Every human loses at different rates because of many variations. I had my surgery 4th july 20lbs down. It is not as fast as some but i have never lost so fast before. Goodluck, you will be very disapointed if you compare forever

Yess so normal myhunger pains ere painfulits just your tummy healing and adjusting just keep your fluids up it will adjust. i had mine 4th july its fine now

All I can say is i would not try your first drink out with everyone you could be sick etc, try your first drink at home with someone you trust whenever it is. My surgeon told me to wait three months but i had one drink today at my mums almost 4 weeks out and i feel fine not advising anyone to do the same id never advice anyone on whats right but i am fine with my choice.

Your 5.0 I don't think normal BMI is 140 as I'm 5.2 normal BMI for me is 136/137lbs. But I bet you look great. I think people look normal weight about 28 BMI. My sw was 244 now 224 about my surgery was 4th July. Would love to know what you eat etc. And how you feel being a normal size do people treat you different.
