Well when you can only eat 1 oz, it's hard to feel bad about a cheat

Anybody know how much is the average amount of weight we should lose in the first month?

Quick update...

Clear Premier Protein drinks? Different that the carton?

I wish I liked chocolate, that would make this shake thing so much easier for me. I hate chocolate and vanilla flavored things. Always have.

They are sooooooo gross! I fear I won’t keep them down because it tastes so bad

Hi Maria, mine was July 2nd. First week was awful!!!!!!! What are you doing differently in week 2 that’s making it better? I’m feeling weak but guessing it’s because I’m not getting enough Protein etc. what are you eating/drinking this week?

How are you getting your Protein? My surgery was July 2nd and I’m weak everyday guessing it’s due to not getting enough protein since I can’t eat food yet.

Let’s hope that all it is. Cause I’m set on the fact that this isn’t normal and something must be wrong. Thank you for the encouragement!

I can't believe how much this surgery has done for me. It makes me tear up.

This only an educated guess, you are still very swollen inside. Let's examine two good reasons
1. While you were asleep,you had an endo -tracheal in place to help you breathe. Don't worry, every Man- Jack of us did or will have one. It goes with the territory, this is not the type you sit upright in a dental chair for! No matter how gentle a surgeon or an anesthesiologist is, and most of them have done it so often they are smooth as silk with it, there can be a little scraping going in or coming out. Its okay, it will heal, when you have your tonsils out, they give ice cream, we bariatric,patients get cheated,we have to,make do with sugar free popsicles.
2. Your stomach is also swollen, doesn't matter whether,you now have a banananrama sleeve or a kangaroo pouch, you fall heir to swelling. While,you are healing,in other ways, your poor stomach is saying WTF,did YOU do to,little ME? And it shows its displeasure by being red and swollen inside. That too will heal, and like every surgical patient, there will be pain. What pain is worse? Good question, but every one of them hurts, I have had abdominal, facial , arm and leg incisions and healed well from them all. But not a single one of them made me want to,go dance through the daffodils. You are early days yet, give yourself permission to heal.
Remember:
Every Day and in Every day,You are going,to,get better and better. Usually my 3 and 4 days were the worst but we all vary. A very good friend was Day#2 , anotherwas fine until day 7 when she wanted to find her surgeon and turn him into a steer. if you get,my drift. Lucky for him he went,on holiday in either the Bahamas or Barbados where Bajan Sleeve lives. But my friend had fire in her eyes and malice in her ❤toward him.
Darling, check it,out with your own doctor,when you see him, but I am virtually certain you will be just fine!😛

Try hot Water ... cold water really bothered me for a long time. The hot water (decaf tea etc) worked

Eliza. My surgery was the same day and I’m in a hell of a lot of pain! This Tramadol isn’t working!!!!

I had a gastric bypass 12.12.16 I weighed 285 and lost 150 now i weigh 135 after almost 13 months and i think I'm still losing weight. Now I'm starting to really think about surgery all this loose skin is bothering me alot mentally and physically.

living life to the fullest and healthy

Congrats!!!!!!

Just found out from BCBS that I'm approved! Surgery date July 16, 2018! Super excited!!!!!!

I am new to this group, but I have a date! I am a summer sleever, 7/2 is my date! And my process was very very quick. Approved on first submission, only started this process in May. I am nervous, very anxious, and hungry! Lol. On day 2 of my liquid diet.

Each and every surgeon has his/her own best plan. on how you best should prepare my first pote,trial surgeon(curses be upon his head) believed in high Protein, low calorie and clear liquid only the 24 hours before, my current and I think superior one, does require a liquid regime, length,depends on your BMI and current state of health, I suspect 2 weeks but I certain would embrace less, if he so deems 👉😷👈.

It all happened so fast for me, I think that’s why I am a little scared. Started this process on 5/21 and here I am July 2nd having surgery. On day 3 of my pre-op liquid diet!

Congrats! Are you on a liquid diet?

Morning everyone. I love reading these blogs and it's lovely to meet you all I have a question, which may be too "deep", but I'll ask anyway! My main concern is that after surgery my head won't have caught up to my smaller stomach and I'll still want to eat like I used to. Some people report cravings disappearing, but it's not guaranteed. I have an appointment with a counsellor today in the hope that the surgery combined with some therapy may help me on my way. It's got to be worth a try! Does anyone share this concern? I guess these blogs are a form of therapy too

What are you guys doing for your pre-op diet? I started mine this week...a bit early but I was treating every day like it was the last supper so I thought "enough". Also, I'm having revisionary surgery as I already have a gastric band, so I want to make sure my insides are as prepared as can be I'm on milk and greek yoghurt. Day 4 and I'm finding it OK.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this app and I'm so glad I found it. I start my one week full liquid diet tomorrow and my surgery date is July 2nd.
