Dee's Journey

I was not but that's good that you are. It took a lot for me to get in the liquid that they wanted me to have and I struggled even after I returned home. I think a part of my issue was that everything tasted nasty and it was not until I could get home and get some homemade chicken broth and sugar free Popsicle that I was finally able to take in what I needed. Also, applesauce mixed with PB2 was my favorite.

I agree, it is confusing. It just makes me think we have to use discretion with all things. Listen to your doctor but I think you have to also know yourself and do more research. I believe doctors learn new things concerning this surgery all the time and they make changes based on new information.

Yes, thank you ??

I think for the most part, all we can do is support each other and do the best we can to reach our goals and maintain a healthier lifestyle. Thank you to all who encourage me and share tricks and tools for success.

Thank you, cheese is a good place to go for that salty craving. I wish I had a book that was so detailed like that. You are right, since I have started on this group forum I see that there are a lot of different answers coming from doctors.

I am not sure if I can have popcorn so I will ask my doctor on Friday when I see him. I know I can't have it now because I am in the full liquid phase. Maybe at week 4 or 5 once I get approval. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

I know I am going to have to wait a few weeks until I am on solids. Thank you, I will start purchasing now.

I find myself having a craving for something a little less sweet and more on the salt end. Do you have any suggestions for snacks like that?

Thank you, this is very helpful and encouraging information. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

I was sleeved on the 17th of July. So far everything is going well. I am healing properly, still sore and having some back pain only on the right side. I am having a hard time getting all the protein and water in that is required but I am trying to get better at it everyday. I try not to get on the scale every day because I do not want to get discouraged , so I am saving my scale days for my doctors visits. How is everyone else?

Thank you very much. I didn't know what to do. Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app
