So I’m thinking about getting a belly brace. But thinking of waiting till after i get my tube out. Also I’m terrified to shower. I’m thinking a ton about food. Guess I have an addiction. But started thinking about soft foods which I know are 3 weeks out but I want to be prepared—I use instantcart for groceries especially now—but probably gonna pay for shipt membership too since they have different stores omg my head is everywhere.

I had my surgery on 8/21. The gas is worse than the incision pain. I’m home now and litterally just forcing the farts and it helps... walking around and trying to get my fluids in. Was supposed to start on my vits today but will have to start tomorrow because I forgot them. Oh well. Hopefully I’ll lose some weight this week I’m up a pound from surgery day... 😭

I did zumba a little bit not too many movements but i worked up a sweat! Lost a pound!

My body stalls like every 2 lbs and then I’ll gain and lose to the amount I lost for days until I drop another pound maybe 2. It’s very annoying

I’m not going to lie, there are so many pages of convo that I have gotten overwhelmed! I will try to do better with keeping up with everyone

Also curious what your diet progression has been, I think the wide variation between different surgeons’ plans explains some of the drastic differences in weight loss in the first month, after that it evens out.



I was on Clear Liquids only for a week, then clear liquids plus milk and strained Soups for two week. I only yesterday started pureed foods and this morning I was up 1.4 lbs. I know it’ll even out and I’ll be losing again soon, but I think your body reacts to each stage too!

You know what is pissing me off? My phone ringing off the hook! The pharmacy calling to check on me, the nurse calling to check on me, my insurance company calling me (WTF ?!- I'm self pay!), my leave of absence company calling to confirm dates, the pharmacy calling again to thank me for my business. All of this in ONE day. Can a person not just recover in peace?!

Hey all. Had surgery early this morning. Now in my room having “lunch”. Only pain is the gas pressure in my belly. But I am so groggy and tired. Hoping my Jello will wake me up. Lol

Oops, I see 3 dates tomorrow! Good luck everyone!

I have essentially NO appetite on the liquid diet. This is the end of week 2 and I can barely tell when I need to drink a shake, oddly enough.

Good luck to both of you tomorrow! See you both on the post op side!

My favorite is the premier chocolate , caramel and Cookies and cream. You can mix some fat free fair life milk into it if it’s to sweet or thick

I had my sleeve surgery on august 6th. At time of surgery I was 370 today I am down to 351. This is 6 days post op. I’m CRAVING a slice of pizza soooo bad... lol I’m also having trouble finding a good Protein Shake. I’m an extremely picky eater and have a problem with texture. Any hold would be appreciated. Thanks!

Okay guys! It worked! I pooped haha after the MoM .. could being constipated be a reason why I gained 1 pound from yesterday to today?

You guys - 4 days until I join you!!!!

My surgeon always suggest MoM. Gross but it works!

How much have you lost so far?

@ALFxRNY Im glad to hear you feel so well! Moving in the right direction, thats what matters!

You have such a wonderful attitude, I really admire your spirit and how you’re responding to the process not being what you’d expected!

6 weeks post-op today!

I can’t believe how quickly 6 weeks went by. I cannot say that I’m truly happy with my progress. Due to hormones, stress, and everything else my body is just fighting me and not losing at all. If it weren’t for how great I feel, I’d probably have all of the regrets. I do notice slight changes in my body. Everything is looser, my boobs and thighs are shrinking, my tummy is super jiggly (but not smaller). All I can do is keep on pushing through this stall and hoping for the best!

I just recently bought bariatric capsule Vitamins from ProCare Health. I like them so far. Also bought their calcium chews

Every time I take my Vitamins I get sick. Anyone else having or had this experience?
