Yep definitely normal. I was mad as heck too. I swear I called my NUT 20x's during the first month! LOL

OMG this is so cute! I love pixie cuts! You really have to have a face to pull that off im totally envious! It looks amazing!

I still keep mine private but the people who are around me wouldn't stop asking and im honestly not too embarrassed or ashamed of my decisions. I guess its a "vibe" or "aura" thing with some people. If I read them and I feel they have a negative type aura I won't tell them, etc.

Yes this was me also. I had some major issues with chicken at first. I think its a little early. I didnt really start in on full meats until about 3-4 months. I still cant handle eggs but I think its just because my pouch doesnt like them anymore.

Wow thats crazy hopefully things are good now?

May I ask why you had to have a revision at 8 months? That seems really soon.

Protein waters are by far my favorite. I couldnt stomach anymore shakes after a while. My go to choice: Isopure Zero Carb Grape, Isopure Infusions, Bariatric Pal Fruit Drinks in Variety Pack, and Bariatric Pal Peach Tea

I had my surgery on 7/30 and I still cant stomach eggs. Makes me ultra nauseated, especially hardboiled.

I use a sugar substitute that uses Stevia & Monk Fruit. Handled that just fine

TBH I can't stand how Premier tastes at the moment. Its so sweet to me. Especially the Caramel, Peaches & Cream, etc. The chocolate is the only one I can get down but with that said im doing mostly clear protein liquid supplements now.

I kind of noticed this myself after watching a few of his videos and then realizing that he was pushing new marketing materials and programs lately.

I love my chewable Gas X, ive been taking those on and off for the past two weeks. Walking does help, also you need to make sure you are having BM's. Im sure your surgeon told you that but you don't want anything backed up in there. It will get better. I suffered during the first week, and moving into my second week the pain is now on my lowest incision and according to my doctor its more than likely lower bowel gas and BM that hasnt been passed yet. Its going to take a little time. Hang in there.

I have a desk day job and im hardly on my feet, I took a total of 3 weeks but I also had RNY. It really depends on the type of job you have I would assume for you since you are on your feet all day and active probably 3-4 but I would also look at your short term disability benefits, etc.

For me almost 2 weeks. I use it every so often now when one of my incisions is giving me grief. I went though almost 2 bottles of Tylenol 3 (Codeine), and I also had muscle relaxants available. Also took some Gas X cause of the incredible amount of gas pain in my left shoulder.

Post op started with many regrets? Ive been kind of feeling that way seeing my weight loss is ultra slow at the moment but im 8 days out. And im following all the rules. What type of regrets did you have?

Just wondering how many of you actually experienced migrating pain post op? At first it was my main incision area on the left side, now its kind of migrated downwards to my lower abdomen in the middle under the navel. Im going to see my surgeon tomorrow for a drain removal im just wondering how common it is or if any of you experienced this? Of course im going to ask him tomorrow I just think it's kind of weird how its either radiating in another place, or moved now.

Yeah its driving me nuts. Feels like something stuck in my chest plate. I cant WAIT! I would have gotten it out Monday but the surgeon is in clinic....Tuesday here we come!

As the days go on the more I can feel it, and its really bugging me. I cant wait to get it pulled, 2 days!

Im 6 days post op and Im wearing mine everywhere. To bed, when I wake up, I literally have it on at all times. My left side is the main side the work was done on and I can tell a major difference in pain when I don't have it on. Ive linked this previous but this is one I bought, LOVE IT! Its thicker in width and length so it covers the entire area pretty well. Several sizes. https://www.amazon.com/BraceAbility-Bariatric-Abdominal-Compression-Circumference/dp/B00QLYZ1DK/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1533334829&sr=8-3&keywords=braceability%2B3x&th=1

Cant wear a bra myself due to one incision and my drain. I get my drain pulled this Tuesday FINALLY!

6 days post op also, same thing happening here if I dont slow it down. Have to sip much slower esp if you are only taking 1-2 oz.

That feeling you get in your chest isnt it like something stuck in your esophagus? Thats what Ive been feeling and man is it uncomfortable. I did that when I was enjoying my cottage cheese a little too much.

Ah ok so im not too low then. Ive been trying to get a round about average in comparison to what others are hitting at the moment. I find it really hard to actually get in caloric intake compared to protein. Protein I can hit the mark in like what 2 Premier Proteins = 60g Protein.

I was wondering how many of you actually watch the total caloric intake while trying to hit your 60 of protein a day? Id like to see where everyone is at. I think I might not be eating enough at the moment but im in stage I. What is your total calorie intake per day?

Being 4 days post op I can tell you its going to be a rough few days until you hit about 4-5th day in. I finally am feeling better on day 4, cant wait for day 5 and forward. Seeing that this is my first surgery I was freaking out a bit, never felt such pain as I have the last few days, however my meds (tylenol codeine) was doing a pretty good job. Even with that said, sore everywhere, couldnt sleep, everything hurts, bruises, etc. Also make sure to get in your water, protein liquids they help immensely. Walking too will help with the gasses. Abdominal binder is a god send, thats a definite must have. This is the one I have, I wear it to sleep also. Even though I couldnt sleep until the 4th day really. It's a huge help wearing it and propping yourself up, elevating. https://www.amazon.com/BraceAbility-Bariatric-Abdominal-Compression-Circumference/dp/B00QLYZ1DK/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1533334829&sr=8-3&keywords=braceability+3x
