I'm 3 weeks post-op today. I was thinking that how come this is taking so long to get to goal. Then I realized I have been obese for most of my 63 years, so my steady progress is very exciting. I was 333.8 lbs today down 30.2 lbs since starting liquid diet and 23.4 lbs since surgery. So far my only problem has been food portions. I eat/chew very slowly and only put 3-4 oz on my plate. I really can't tell if I am full till it is too late. I'm thinking I should just eat 2-3 oz at a time to avoid that horrible full, bloating feeling. What have been your experiences?

Had my 2 week post op today. Down 23 pounds. WOW. I am nervous and excited to start soft foods. Best news, I can get in the pool finally.

Hope your insurance approval goes smoothly. Unfortunately I was self play, so the process went really fast. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello neighbor. Where did you have your surgery? I used Dr Podolsky at Delray Medical Center. Having a great experience with her team.

Today I am one week post-op. Down 10.4 lbs since morning of surgery. No gas pains, just a little bloating and its getting better with Gas-x. Still on full liquids for another week, and not even missing solid food. Who would have thought I would not be hungry. WOW. Time for a protein shake.

Good luck. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Each program is different. That said my program is 64oz liquid which includes protein snakes. Also I can have ricotta or cottage cheese. I am 6 days out and seeing too get everything in. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks for adding me. I have severe back and knee pain, and I hope as the weight goes down, I will be competitive in the fitbit arena.

Just got home. Sleeved yesterday. In at 8am back in room at 10am. Horrible gas pains yesterday. Pain meds had me sleeping most of the day. A little better today. But it's a challenge to get all the liquids in. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app
