Congratulations on reaching your goal. And some say that bariatric surgery is the easy way out!! BOO on them.

I feel the same way. I’m still hungry all the time. I’m sure it was done correctly.

Do you like tuna? I love the tuna albacore packs and you can take them where ever u go at 3 weeks out it was my only way to get the protein in for me. My sleeve didnt do well with chicken. Also depending if you know what foods give u chest pain to stay away from them for a few days and try again or if its all foods your surgeon can give u prilosec u may have Gerd and that has helped me soo much with the chest pain. They have over the counter prilosec as well its just less expensive for me with insurance getting it from my docter. Oh and have you tryed the high protein yogurts that are like 12 to 15grams of protein per yogurt and only 2g of sugar those help me get my protein in as well sence i wont drink Protein Drinks ever again anyways hope things get better for you.

It took me two months to hit 45 grams of Protein and at 3 months I stll can't get fluids in. Relax and enjoy the journey.

Thank you so much, everyone. Today is a bit better. Put some anti fungal on the belly button and the itching stopped. I felt like that was the last straw. It sounds stupid but the itching was driving me crazy and keeping me up at night. Been regretting the surgery but I see now it’s now it’s normal. You all made me feel better. Xoxox

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I just didn’t think this was going to be like this. It’s one minor issue after another. And my scales broken so I don’t even know if I lost anything. lol. It will get better.

I feel like a baby. I’m only at day 9 and it’s harder than I thought. I started out with severe dumping. My doctors thought it was CDiff. It wasn’t it was a terrible IBS flare up. Now I’m constipated. And my belly button has a fungal infection. I didn’t even know that was possible. It itches so bad. I’m having trouble getting my Protein in because I’m never hungry but im having terrible food cravings for nothing healthy. I’m due for my period so that may be why I’m feeling like this. It’s just harder than I thought. And I haven’t felt well. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Thank you for listening.

Thank you. I called the doctor. She said it’s normal and to make sure I drink enough. Trying to. I have to admit the recovery is harder than I thought. Thank you all for being here.

I just got mine done yesterday. Told everyone at work and most friends hernia repair. When i start losing weight i will tell them my doctor sent me to a nutritionist because the her hernia was weight related.

@ Alma Dere my surgery is Thursday. My PMS cravings are making me anxious too. Have you had the surgery yet? If so how did you deal with the cravings.

Oh gosh, yeah! That was me, too--thus why I decided to put myself on the liquid diet early. I mean, I know I have an unhealthy relationship/addiction to food, I know it's holding me back big-time, and I know I'm going to fail if I don't commit to the process 100%. So why take the chance?
I heard a bariatric surgeon on youtube say that you basically have one shot to get it right... it's so much freaking money, I've only got one shot anyways... and I'm planning on wringing every last drop of weight loss out of that post-op honeymoon phase! =D
Yep! I think that's us! (I only found this place yesterday, I'm still figuring things out, too Welcome!

It is going to be great. I know this journey has been over six months. I know when I get to my pre op diet, I will be saying I wish it was not quite here yet. Just kidding. Iy will be great because I will get to my surgery and by summer I will have started to look like the stud I know I am. 😂
