Thanks all for the advise!

It’s my understanding soon after surgery they will have me up and walking as well. Anything to minimize pain and the use of pain meds. I’ve also heard of some people hold a pillow against there stomach area to help with pain. Anyone try this?

Thanks I’ll remember that! And about the heating pad too. Did you ever use ice or just stick with heat?

What are the pain levels to be expected after surgery? Is there anything to help reduce or manage pain without the use of pain meds?

Great thanks! I’m gonna have to check it out!

I am in the beginning of my journey and obviously changing eating habits. What are some of your favorite recipes or websites to find bariatric friendly recipes. Thanks in advance.

I like the sugar free jello idea. I’m definitely goin go to have to try to that. Thanks!

Pre surgery

I’ve begun doing protein shake meal replacements. I’ve been having a protein shake as my breakfast. I’m having trouble staying full. I’m using Syntha-6 protein. Any tips on how to feel full longer? Any protein shake suggestions? Anything that you have done for those of you with this same struggle?
