    Hello, I'm new to this. Today I had a consult with my doc. He told me I was a candidate for either gastric bypass or sleeve. In you guys opinion what do you recommend?

    It depends on your health issues. Their situation where people have chosen to go with the sleeves and then have to convert to gastric bypass. I think that you should just do a lot of research on both procedures and she was which one is best for you. I did the gastric bypass and I'm 14 days post-op and I haven't had any abnormal complication, but it is a challenge. Both procedures are just tools to help you loose waves so either way it's going to be challenging. What I love about this app is that the support that you received from different people all over. I wish you the best of luck with whatever decision you make keep us updated.

    You got this Tiffany. It's only been 12 days!!! Also- I'm gonna say right now, try not to be annoyed at your husband next month because he'll probably respond totally differently than you did & you'll want to punch him. [emoji4]

    I'm only on day five and I'm counting the seconds until I hit day 14 so I can have some eggs and tuna and ground beef. The Premier Protein that I loved before surgery now are just ... whomp whomp kinda icky.

    Are you allowed Soups? Soup has been going down really well for me & sort of makes me feel like I at least got some food. I have to blend it if there's anything in it. Also if you're feeling like gas is stuck in your chest try just walking around your own house a bit. When I swallow too quickly I stand up and walk a bit and gravity seems to help me out.
    JanJan19,
    I totally understand where u coming from cause I feel the same way I'm 9 days out and can't wait to eat some eggs and tuna. I too use to love premiere shake but now I have to force them down. I mostly just do Water, soup, pudding, and Jello.
    I just wanted to say I can really to your story.

    Hello All !
    I am 3 1/2 weeks post op and for the most part I’m doing fine. However since being on solids from Day 15 , I find it very hard to eat 3 4oz meals per day , I vomit after drinking Protein Shakes and I have acid reflux after eating. Anybody else have this ? Does it get better ? Sure I look better on the outside but on the inside I feel terrible. Please tell me it gets better !
    P.S. I’ve lost 25 lbs in three weeks ! I’ve lost 50 in total since 1 month pre-op !
    Feel free to follow me on IG and i’ll do the same for support [emoji5]

    Can anyone tell me if this was similar for them? I see so many "I feel great!" posts. '
    I've been miserable since waking up 18 hours ago. I went into this not worried about the pain at all. I had ankle surgery with a plate & screws about 5 years ago - was told that would be painful & it wasn't at all. So I think maybe I was cocky going in.

    It doesn't feel like gas. The incision spots don't hurt at all, it all seems to be coming from the actual stomach. Every movement is torture. They gave me morphine but it made me nauseous. I've had two does of IV Tylenol.

    Did anyone else feel this miserable & how long does it last? I cannot get comfortable.
    I had surgery on Monday there was some pain but the nurse told me if I walk the hallway it will help with the pain so I walked soon as I was put in a room. It helped with the gas pain as well.

    Update: Surgery went great, only real pain I'm having is gas pain from the air they use during surgery. I assum the pain meds I'm keeping the real pain away. I been up and walking around and eating my measured ice. Surgery has been nothing like I image. and I'm so happy it wasn't. I want to thank you all for your kind words and motivation.
