I crave cheese. That’s it. List the sweet taste. Which is great. I loved Cookies

You are mine less 2 days. I wish it was quicker. Love that old smaller clothes are new to me and fitting again. Can’t wait to donate them

I was told to avoid them but I was eating some Tomato basil Soup. Slowly. Had no acid issues.

I felt good after surgery. I did a enhanced recovery protocol before I drank 32oz of Gatorade night before surgery and 32 oz a couple hour before surgery. I felt pretty good because of that.
You’ll feel better day by day and when the scale moves even better

Yeah!!! Real food for you!!

How long since your surgery? You look great!

Good luck! You’ll be great!!💕

Congratulations!!! We all can do it no matter what stage we are at! Drink drink drink. I think the pain is minimal except for the gas so move around as soon as you can. I walked to the bathroom as soon as they let me. I had no catheter so I had to.
I found my note!

Lot of the stuff grossed me out!

Cover the scar with a carefully placed tattoo! Just kidding the scar does fade especially with your skin shrinking

I was scheduled for bypass but my small intestine was too short to do it so I ended up with the sleeve and couldn’t be happier. It seems now that I’m 4 months out my stomach is more sensitive. I feel hot and cold food like never before and am nauseated a lot. I guess that’s my signal. I get nauseated on car rides. Crazy huh?

The liquid diet in the hospital was absolutely gross. I was on a floor with several Bariatric patients and specially trained nurses. They took very good care of me. The dietary department had issues. I’d rather not eat at all sometimes

I did a enhanced recovery protocol. drank Gatorade the night before and morning of surgery. Was a positive! Felt great afterwards

All the aches and pains will slowly go away and after a few months the metamorphosis will occur. Your pants will be falling off, the necks on tops will be slipping off your shoulder ( for the sexy new you). It’s a long road we are all traveling on. Eventually we’ll get there-no matter our age. Take heart, don’t be discouraged! Our journey to our big weight didn’t happen over night. Just one cupcake or cookie at a time!!
Love to all those over 50’s out there you can do this!!

Thanks for that. I had that Water issue after surgery but it was more like 13 lbs and the surgeon’s office was like how come you lost so little?
They told me the I’ve weight would disappear on its own quickly. I weighed my self the day of surgery on my scale and when I walked in from the hospital. I use my scale as my judge. I have a dr appointment the end of March. We’ll see how that goes. I was 68 when I had my surgery and like you feel the difference already.
Good luck to you!!
Look forward to chatting!

That scale seems to be everyone’s nemesis!! My weight fluctuates all day long and my scale is the kitchen so I weigh at least five times a day.
I try to stay positive
Just took new passport pictures and I see lots of new wrinkles-I avoid the camera!! But my husband tells me those wrinkles are okay! Me not so much. I’ll be looking for a nip and tuck next year. I have lost lots of hair and am eating Protein like I should but sometimes I will eat a cookie just because it looks so good. Or I chew something and spit it out after I taste it. I’m bad.-but old habits die hard.
I like that I am able to share ups and downs. That there are lots of us in the same boat.
Oh I’m off my metformin and my fasting sugar is less than 100. It was only 140 tops pre-surgery.
Have a great day— off to my grandson’s hockey game!!!

Wow. I’m 4 months out and only lost 47 and am kind of stuck. No real exercise except moving more and much easier. I’d almost be at my goal if I lost 100
I have nausea when I drink too much Water at one time and there are several foods that make me sick so I just avoid them. Lost my sweet cravings but salt is a little issue for me.

Jessless. Thanks for your take on my issue. I have an appointment soon. I’ll bring it up.

The nausea is of some concern. Have you called your surgeon? I can do 100 of Protein if I add a shake, Protein Drinks like Isopure, and protein chips I buy on here.
For the Constipation I take Colace 1-3x a day and just added Fleet liquid Glycerin Suppositories and Benefiber Fiber Supplement powder to my regimen. I hate stimulant laxatives because they give me stomach cramps, so this is my plan to avoid them entirely.

I’m stuck ! The dietician at my last visit wants me to increase Protein and stay under 1000 calories. I am miserable with nausea at time and constipated most of the time.
But on the flip side I’ve dropped two sizes and acquired new wrinkles.
