Hmmm, that's interesting. Now that you mention it, some of the women around my neighborhood are looking at me differently now and making it a point to tell me they're the wives of the husbands on the block. Nobody did that when I was a big fat blob. Hmmm, I guess it's some of those things we don't think about when losing weight. I guess it's a good thing in a way???

I buy the Protein Snacks on Bariatric Pal and at the GNC store. I like the protein BBQ chips and I'm expecting a delivery today of the protein cheese puffs to try. Check them out.

I never did anything pureed. I still have trouble with red meat, specifically steak, because of its density.

Good luck on your WLS journey.

I was totally honest, but then again I had to be because my psych eval/approval was done by my own psychiatrist that I see for Depression and Anxiety.

I had this with sleeve too and it lasted from month 2 to month 6 but now it's gone.

5 months post-op sleeve and I no longer have sleep Apnea, I don't take high blood pressure medication anymore, and I no longer have GERD or Acid Reflux.

Happy Surgiversary! You're looking GREAT!

It sounds like he did everything he could to accommodate you and make you happy. Why not just wear something you're comfortable in and go to the graduation?

Welcome and good luck on your WLS Journey

Wow you look amazing!!! Your waist is so tiny! I love that dress too

I've been bad about keeping regular track with photos, but here's one of the few I have taken showing me pre-surgery and 5 months post-op VSG.

For the hospital stay itself I only needed toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, and chapstick.
For once I got home I had lots of different liquids to choose from (Gatorade Zero, Crystal Light, Diet Peach Snapple Iced Tea), sugar-free popsicles, sugar-free pudding

I wouldn't worry too much because you're just two days post-op and you've been resting, so your heart hasn't had a reason to raise its rate much.

Depending on where you live, it could be the weather. I find heat and humidity draining and summer is here.

That's a good question. I'm considering a possible breast lift once I reach and sustain goal, but that's at least a year away as I'm only 4 months post-op now

Have you tried Protein snack Cakes? They're GREAT! And Protein chips? They're healthier alternatives to Snacks and they ensure you get your protein in.

So sorry to hear you're going through this.

I started out with cottage cheese, Soup, and scrambled eggs.
