I was told no alcohol for 6 months after surgery....

Great job! Keep up the hard work and you reach your goals

March 22,2018 lost 65 lbs I lost 13lbs on my 2 weeks liquid diet. When is your surgery date? Where do you live? I am near Houston Texas

That is what the doctor said

Funny thing was I did not know I had a hernia. I felt fine before surgery and after. I only stayed on pain meds 2 days. Get up often and walk as soon as you can. I never really had gas pain but I pushed my self to walk at least 3-4 times around the hospital floor.

I did. No issues afterwards. However around 3 weeks after I developed acid reflux. They said it was very common after having the sleeve done. Daily meds for it and it helps

I’ve had success with drinking Pickle Juice to help me go to the restroom

Yep dietician said I can drink it. Help with my BM issue too!

I had my hernia repaired during my sleeve procedure but it must not of worked. Because I started getting AR 3 weeks after my surgery date.

1month and 2 weeks I think it is. I hope it gets better. Zantac was prescribed but it feels like it gets stuck in my throat and sits there. Scratching each time I drink

I never had it before surgery. Now I have it with anything and everything I drink or eat. That includes water!

Hey there I’m in Alvin. I had my sleeve on March 22,2018. I carry a drink with me everywhere. Always sipping

I was only allowed Protein Shakes, Water, Powerade zero and diet Snapple during my two week liquid diet. No food at all. Lost 11pounds.

21 days out I had such bad chest pain. Hurt to take a breathe. Well long story short went to ER and had tests done. They said everything fine with the surgery but Acid reflux. Hurt to swallow the Zantac they prescribed. Had to switch to a liquid. It helped! Yeah! Unfortunately it is a battle daily. I am now 1 month after surgery

Well I had those results about 10 months ago way before surgery. Surgery date was March 22, 2018 and bam what do you know a month later I had a menstrual cycle. Very heavy and lasted over 7 days. Now I have to make a return trip to see my ob-gyn

I am 5ft 2in too. However my heaviest weight was 260-265. My first consult I weighed in at 255. My surgery (3-22-18) weight was 243. So I am really just starting out. My personal goal weight is 150. My dr on the other hand says I can get down to 130. I am currently 220. My proudest moment is when I went completely off drinking cokes!!! Hardest thing I have done

Ok that makes me feel a lot better

Well now that I can purée my food nothing tastes good everything is so bland... Season it liberally but still nothing heck even tried to add ketchup but still cannot taste a thing. Please tell me that this will go away sometime soon

My dietitian says never use Patches they do not work. Find chewable vititams but not gummies.

I am 5ft 2 in and my heaviest weight was 260-265 my surgery weight was 243. My doctor said I could probably get down to 135. I had a personal goal of 160. But maybe 135 is possible

Everything that I drink or eat takes awful. Water, Powerade. eggs, chicken have no taste. I tried salt, pepper and even a dab of ketchup on the eggs.... no flavor at all. Then chicken my family says tasted awesome but yet I cannot taste it. Will this change? I cannot drink cold beverages it has to be room temp or hot.

I will ask her. And get back to you on why she says no gummies

My dietitian says never use Patches they do not work. Find chewable vititams but not gummies.

This was at my little brother’s wedding day at the justice of the peace. So I had to take a pic

I never really take pictures due to my weights. Just didn’t make me happy to do so. This was July 2017. I had my surgery March 22,2018.
