You need a great girdle!! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I had to have a heart to heart with myself..."I need to save these for later!" Wait...you will NEVER need these again! I despise shopping, so I tend to hold on to old clothes. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

They could, but with sych a low BMI, you may not even lose that much with sleeve. I've heard your stomach WILL get roomier over time, so I would let the surgeon do what they do best! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

HAHAHA!!! Me too!! I say try to brighten it a bit. 20 year olds are dying thier hair gray nowadays!! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I messaged you the link! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

There ARE people here that had this same thing happen. Ultimately, they had regular bypass done, and feel 100% better! Look up in the search bar "wish I never had" and see if it pops up. I will try to find the link too so you can message her! She was SO discouraged, but things really turned around for her! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

My nutritionist said this was pretty normal, especially for me -who drank 5-6 cups of coffee a day pre-surgery!! It affected my blood sugar levels. She said people who ate a lot of sugar before sometimes get almost hyper-glycemic after surgery. She said a bit if water and juice should help. Of course, I bought orange juice and sipped it all day and it really helped! Nothing works like coffee though![emoji6] Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this, but have you run it by your doctor and/or nutritionist?? Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I also had that kind of diet, all liquids for 4 weeks. It was hard but honestly I think it set me up for better success. I followed my doctors advice religiously. I see a LOT of posts on here where people play games with the doctors advice, and do what they want. Time will tell if they succeed. I don't EVER want to do surgery agai, in my mind it is "all or nothing" I used that liquid phase to work on my mental relationship with food, and all my mind sets. As far as cleaning goes, you can shower when the stitches have disolved. I only had one stitch, and the other spots were "superglued". Good luck kiddo!!

Excellent!!! Thats SO exciting!![emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

From what I know, supplements are a very important part of surgery. Whats your doctor and nutritionists opinion on this? Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

Brandi, how are things going? Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I just went out for my husbands birthday and followed the suggestion of appetizers for a meal. I did this all the time at Friendly's with their chicken quesadillas before surgery anyway. This time I ordered bwef tips! It worked out perfectly, or at least it would have if I had not got on the side salad to go with it. I knew there was no way I could finish it, but I wanted my mail to look balanced! A few days later I went out with my friend for dinner, and ordered fish and chips. I didn't eat ANY of the fries but brought them home for the kids. I was able to eat probably about 2 oz of fish, and just told her I made the mistake of eating later in the afternoon. I may have looked a little odd picking off the breading from my fish but honestly I didn't care. I usually do that anyway! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

Thats GREAT news!! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I told my husband and older kids, my sister, and my Mom (who in turn told my step father, but so far, so good!) And one close friend. If someone messaged me begging to know (like I did to my cousin!) I would share it. Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks for the ideas!! Appetizers!!?? I never thought about that!! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

There was a woman (?) On here who was over 70 and having a sleeve done last month. I haven't seen her on here, and forget her name, but she always chimed in on posts and was super positive and excited. She even offended someone in a huge post about "being positive/did you go to the gym?" Lol! I removed myself from that post, so I can't find it! Does anyone know how she did, or what her name was?? I really want to check in on her. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I can only see to add with email address? Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I slept a lot too, but give yourself a break kiddo, you just had surgery!! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

Stop worrying, you will be ok!! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes, Frust8, it's YOU!! I'm glad your ok, I didn't know about the name change! Sorry your surgery got delayed, I thought you had it a few weeks ago and since we had not seen you on, my mind was going all over the place! Glad to see you're okay! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

Pain is a GREAT motivator to stay on task eating! Lol! Sounds awful, but eat something you shouldn't and you WILL be sorry. Just look at it and say, "Nope, not now "! Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app

I also had side and back pain that got pretty bad 2 weeks after surgery. I finally went to the chiropractor, who stretches me out really good! It's the constant leaning forward, to protect my stomach and pulled muscles in a way they don't normally go. She said to stretch my back out daily, which I do and it really helps!
