I definitely didn't have pain like yours, but I found ice packs across my incisions and abdomen to help A LOT in the first week

If you’re starting to feel queasy that is when you should take the zofran. You risk serious dehydration otherwise.

You and i our similar. Im 5'7 as well. Surgery weight 212 now 197, surgery 6/21. Carry the majority of weight in Stomach and size L bra. We are boarderline for this surgery in terms of what most people think but I 100% think i made the right decision! I had issues waiting until i was really hungry and then eating too much, not a snacker. I've been heavy since 19 and could never keep the weight off after losing it.

Umm. I’m obese. And I’ve struggled with weight my while life. I was at 199 with diet and exercise.
Yea im not 300+ lbs. but my highest weight was 217 lbs. your comment is basically the reason why I’ve only told 3 people in my life what I’ve done.
And after seeing the size of my stomach after it was removed, I did some serious damage to it by bing eating.

And drink more everything.... Peeing helps a lot in eliminating stuff...

The scale started moving again! I have lost 1 pound each of the last two days! Whew! I’m down 14lbs since surgery on 6/6 and down a total of 27 pounds since preop diet. I’m about 3.5 weeks post op. I still have a tough time tolerating a scrambled egg, but egg whites are no problem. I’m still on mushy food. I had a Trader Joe’s meatless meatball (mashable with fork) with nf ricotta and a Tbs of sauce last night for dinner and it felt like a normal meal. I went back to work this last Thursday and I was so busy that I forgot to eat .... until I got dizzy and was like, “oh yes, I need to eat.” This is a huge difference from preop days. My life and days were planned around meals. I ❤️ My sleeve!

I hate them, hate them, hate them. I don't like sweets, for one thing. (If they made a nacho-chip flavored Protein Shake, it might be different!) I hate the aftertaste, the grittiness, etc. etc. etc.
ARGH.
*sulking a little bit while trying to drink this @#$% Protein shake*

Me too, have been using Baritastic because it has good graphs but it's food logging leaves a lot to be desired

I am looking for a simple food tracker app to start logging my meals and exercise, was just curious as to which ones people like the best...All suggestions are welcomed

This week, my kid took off running across the park area near his after school care... and I ran after him and caught him. He was as delighted as I was. I don't think he had ever seen me run.

I broke out my scale because my mother in law said I look thinner. I was like she’s crazy I don’t feel any thinner, but since my surgery on the 19th I’ve lost 16 lbs!

@wittymommy.. I am finishing up day 4 pre op. First three days had bad Migraines. Withdrawal from sugar and caffeine. Was super hungry and starting re thinking the whole thing and whether I could do it. Woke up on 4th day and no Migraine and feeling strong and pumped. If it is tough at the beginning, just know it is getting easier.

June 18th for me! My recovery has been very easy so far, my surgeon installed 2 On-Q pain pumps that were just removed today.
I am STRUGGLING with getting my fluids and Protein in, hoping it gets easier as the swelling goes down. I do have some abdominal distension still from the gas used in the surgery, but nothing terribly severe.

June 13th! Icky as all the I-just-had-major-surgery stuff is, at least I don't have the anxiety of waiting and the frustration of the pre-op diet anymore. Big non-offensive hugs to those still in queue.
