I have Bariatric timer, Monitor Your Weight, Water Drink Reminder, My Fitness Pal, Medica Reminders, and Baritastic

I have an app called Water Drink Reminder that I started using a few months ago to try and remind myself to sip. I'm a gulper too. It's difficult, sometimes I forget and I have to stop myself.
Good luck to you on Wednesday. May you too have a speedy and successful recovery.

I made it to the losers bench!! I’m a little sore and tired
, not much gas or pain. Headed home in a few hours

I know about bad knees. I walk with a walker now because I'm afraid I'm going to fall down. I know my weight is affecting that. I'm hoping that this journey will help with that and a few other issues along the way.

I can have clothes on.. the incisions don't like to be covered. It's getting better though. Only thing annoying me right now is all the itching from the healing. The pain is going down, from the 6 I told them in the hospital it's now down to a nice low grumble of 2. I wore pajamas in the hospital, and I'm still wearing them now. I just pull down the front to give the incisions some air.
In other news. Since surgery 11 days ago. I am down 13.8 lbs and that's before the gas and Water weight after surgery, if I add that I've lost 16.8 lbs. I'm doing good to get 50 oz of water in me and I'm still trying to get the Protein Drinks in me. I've got the water with me all the time, so I'm hoping the ounces will continue to rise.
Beatrice is doing well, as long as I don't guzzle, and I won't say that I don't. It's a hard habit to break. but as long as I don't guzzle she doesn't complain. When I do guzzle she likes to strangle the pipe and that kind of hurts. I have to wait until it goes down. I keep trying to use that as a lesson but I seem to like to do things the hard way. Beatrice hasn't made me hurl since I got home from the hospital so that's a plus. I just gotta remember she rules my life right now and I need to follow her rules. That may sound silly, but if you think about it learning how to use our new tool is a new learning experience.

Good luck to you @GoddessMoon, I'm sure you'll do great. Take your time, Walk those halls and sip sip sip.

2 days for me too. I think about the nausea a lot. I don't like doing the "technicolour yawn" I really hate it be honest. So I'm hoping things will play nice and let me get through this without the fanfare of nausea.
I'm not really starving. I've been finding ways to make liquid taste good, freeze it so I can chew it (that way I don't feel like I'm losing the eating experience) and just relaxing or trying to. I do a lot of colouring and that gets me through some of it.

I'm almost three weeks out and feeling great for the most part. I was cleared for mushies a week ago and have a lot more energy since then. I can walk a couple miles without getting so winded and feeling like I was going to pass out. I eat one or two small meals a day and then have one or two shakes plus my Water, Protein water, popcicles, etc. I have not lost a single pound since I started on mushies. My calories are around 600-800 calories a day. I'm thinking of going back to only liquids. I don't like being in a stall so soon.

How are all my other November sleevers doing? I hope everyone is feeling good and energetic.

Of course . We gotta support each.

Thank you for your kind words, they were much needed!

Stay strong . We all have a day or days like that. Just try to keep in mind your goals for doing this to begin with. This will pass and in a few months it will all seem worth it.

My surgery is in less than 2 weeks and I was worried about the incisions and clothing as well! I hope I can have some sweats on or pajama pants atleast lol. Beatrice! lol I laughed when I read that. I will have to name mine as well.

Workin on it.

I’m scheduled for 11/27.

I'm five day post op and so far no issues except for some gas pain.
I don't think I'm getting all my fluids in. I'm trying to do 1oz every 15min but I'm full all the time. Pain meds make me sleepy so I only take it at night. I had one BM 2 days after I got home but that's it.
Thank you for the tip about the pillow, it helped so much on the way home.

Almost 24 hours after surgery and at hospital. I felt miserable after surgery because of severe nausea. Today is a whole different story....feel tons better and have been up and walking quite a bit. No nausea and my stomach doesn't hurt and Water has been gong down great!

Guysssss I am super excited confirmed time for surgery Monday 7:30AM Arrival at 5:30AM. I'm happy!!!! 2 more days

I'm fixing to have my 2nd Protein Drink of the day. Fluids have staying down okay. I added some MIO flavour Water and that makes my stomach happy.
I will say that it takes me a while to get everything drank because I have to wait a minute for beatrice (what I named my new tool) to take what I give her and work with it to send it down the line.

I've been watching the colours of my incisions. They're all a nice healthy pink. None of them are angry red or oozy, I just figured I have some nerves in there that are still kinda upset and are telling me all about it. But I will mention it to the team when I go in for my 2 week check up on Monday.

It's those little reminders that keep us from messing up.. but only if we listen.

Sleeved 11/1: down 26lbs since pre-op liquid diet 10/16!! Excited about that!! Today is day 1 of purée foods. Had one scrambled egg for bfast but ate only about half of it.
This last week was rough with the lack of energy but I know that was due to having nothing in me but liquids. I feel energized already today so I am putting on my sneakers and going outside and walking! Have a great day, folks!!

Thanks. You too you're almost there. Hope all goes well.
