Congrats glad to hear all is well.

Good afternoon, I just had my surgery a week ago and looking for support from others that are going through the same journey I am. I live on LI and looking for fellow Long Islanders and the group if I could join Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

My Dr put me on stool softener day after surgery. I take 2 a day and I have to say they helped. You do not want to strain. My first BM after surgery was a killer, but once I started with the stool softener it became better. (TMI) sorry

You may want to try butternut squash or creamed corn. Both I found in the organic aisle of my food store and both low in soduim

I had the same experience with a friend. Saying you can do it on your own. You are not that heavy. Just be happy with who you are. I am happy and I am a good person but my heaviest was 291. I am now experiencing health issues that is why after 2 yrs I decided to do the surgery. I learned not to say anything to anyone else but family after all her comments. Unless, you are walking in our shoes people do not understand, but feel they have a right to make hurtful comments. I congratulate all of us for becoming a healthier you!!!!!

I am 9 days post op and all the exercise I can do is walking. That is what my team recommends for the first month. Once, I get cleared by the surgeon I can do more. Since I am home for a month I am walking every hour during my waking hours. Every other day I push further my walking. I think I am up to a 1/2 mile now. Want to be a mile by my post op visit.

I had some Soup today from a Chinese take out. I just had the broth, but it had more sodium then I probably should of had 9 days after surgery. I am drink Water do you think anything will happen to my sleeve? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I am guilty of weighing myself everyday, but that is because my nutritionist taught me that way. I write down my daily weights then average them for 7 days and that is the actual weight I am for a week. I am trying to get out of that routine and just way weekly also.

How is everyone doing after surgery? I have to say I read so much on this site and so far I am doing better than I thought. I was very concerned with the gas pains but never got them. The nausea was kept under control and now 9 days post-op during well on liquid diet. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congratulatiosn on your weight loss!!! I am on to my second week post -op and I have lost since being on the liquid diet before sugery and a week after almost 20 pounds. I now most of it is Water, but I feeling good about it anyway. Have a good weekend my fellow New Yorkers

Becomingnicole, sorry to,hear your journey was rough in the beginning but glad to hear it is moving in a better direction. Only, a week out for me and I been walking every hour on the hour for exercise. I have two more weeks on liquid diet, that is one thing I can not wait to end.

Atonor, what was the hardest obstacle you have had on you journey? What vitamins are you taking? The Bariatric ones I take are not the best but will finish out the bottle. They just taste horrible.

How are you coming along becomingnicole? I was just sleeved a week ago and so far I am doing okay. I am from Lomg Island also be great to continue chatting and help each other through our journey to a healthier us.

Congratulations you look amazing!!!!! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

How was your journey with the sleeve surgery if you do not mind me asking

Congratulations !!!!!!..

Hi, I am not from the City, but Long Island. I was just sleeved last Thursday the 18th of August. So far I am doing okay. I sometimes read to much on here and get a bit nervous that something will happen to me next. I am keeping a positive mind.

They are pricey the Bariatric Advatage Mutlivitamin.....m My Dr also recommended CELEBRATE MULTIVITAMIN --MULTI COMPLETE 45-----it includes the MVI! B12, VITAMIN D and IRON....it is cheaper and also a Capsule...I am going to try them after I finish the other ones. If anyone has tried the CELEBRATE MULTIVITAMIN..please let me know if they are any better than what I am taking now. Thanks

I also take the Bariatric Advantage Multi EA Chewable. They are ok thought they would taste better. Going to ask my Dr at some point can I change to everyday Vitamins from CVS instead of having to get them on line for the rest of my life. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
