I would ask your surgeon. I was able to switch at 1 month to capsule. I've heard others having to wait by instruction of their surgeon. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm off metformin, stopped snoring, off 2/3 of my blood pressure medicines, and no longer have pain when I exercise. I'm only 6 weeks in! Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Anyone not able to eat eggs?! My new stomach revolts when I eat them! Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I think everyone is different! I had no relief from dilaudid and all the relief from just 5mg of oxy. And the spasm medicine was amazing. I woke up and was in so much pain Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had the same thing! Except I ate the pickle pops. So good Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm craving some serious salad greens. It's a new feeling but I'm just waiting for the day when I can have it! Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm certain I'm going to be a slow loser too! Part of me is happy for skin side but the other is like ugh I want to feel lighter and do more things! Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Had anyone traveled for work in pureed stage? I'm finding it super difficult to stay in purees. I've had to eat mashed potatoes or tuna and those are not on my list. I eat a very small amount and mostly drink my protein. I'm hopeful it hasn't ruined anything. I sent a note to my nutritionist. Just worried Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I was 233 day off my surgery, but I am 5'3" so that is quite a bit of weight on my frame. I'm down to 218 and pretty happy with it! I'm still in purees. Going well though! I'm only getting 50ish grams of protein though. :/ still working on that. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I don’t know if it’s gas, but the pain sometimes comes and radiates through the bottom of my belly.

I did not have restrictions! I have a spasm medicine and oxy but the spasm is helping much more than the oxy. I’ve quit taking the narcotics.

Thank you for the response! I didn’t ask or get any direction about it except do as much as you can! Pretty vague. :) I’ll keep it up and add more each day.

How many steps is everyone getting? I’m post up day 3 and hitting about 3000 but I’m worried that’s not enough? I keep up every hours and walk around.

What kind of crystal light do you mix with it? What a great idea!!

Yes! I was the same way! I had mine yesterday.

You had so much time to wait! I would have gone insane! Just hurry up and wait! Thankfully my surgery and waiting before hand was quick but afterwards just interruption after interruption! I’m finally being told okay go to bed we will let you sleep until 6-7 when vitals are taken again! Uhhhh it is 1 am! Lol

Who got any sleep at the hospital?! Seems like everyone is coming in and out and no sleep!

Two days for me!! I’m so excited! Only on liquids for two days and magnesium citrate. Ready to take it on!

Me too! It's getting so close! Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

We are twins! Me too!

Anyone else get really nauseous on their first day of the liquid diet? I’m only 6 hours in and had my first protein drink and oh my.

Were you able to have your people visiting in recovery?

Good luck! I hope you get some sleep! Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I’m so glad I have a mirena and don’t have to worry about it. I have pcos so it’s really sporadic and mine is usually heavy. I’d hate that. :/ sorry about it!
