Hey 👋🏾 Just a ck in to c how’s everyone doing so far I’m glad to be on this side 60 pounds lost so far almost to my goal weight of 150ish about 25 pounds to go I’m a little over 3months post op but it’s going ok

it's all good … it is to be expected sometimes we lose inches and some times its pounds...bet your clothes don't fit the same.. just keep doing right with the Water and Protein which by now should be from mostly dense food and not the shakes.
I been on the same weight number for weeks now but Im down to a size 16 from a 20

Hey everyone Happy New Year !
I am 6 weeks out and weight loss is slowing down. Slightly stalling. Very hard on me mentally. Trying not to get too down on myself.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I had my sx on 11/19. I was doing well in the beginning but as soon as I moved to regular foods.. things slowed. I am still eating healthy. I’m hoping it is just a phase. I don’t know much about the implant but it may play a part. I would mention it to your MD.

We need some tips! Very worried here.

mine was gas and Constipation. When I had my follow up I told the doc. Gone since they gave me something for constipation.

Pretty sure that many of us here have watched at least a few of his videos. Agreed that he is interesting and entertaining.
I do use Bone Broth, fairlife milk and some other high Protein liquids as well. Not just the premade shakes.

It’s not that I’m worried about what she’s doing. I was curious. More because I myself am not a fan of premade Protein. But I have no issues with my surgeons instructions.
For anyone interested. Check out the video below. Not her Dr. but I follow him and he’s quite interesting. He’s VERY blunt/crass, but gets points across.

21 day update post op everything is going good now I can have soft food but barely want anything at all just mainly trying to focus on getting enough liquids and Protein Shakes in on a daily basis so I definitely don’t want any foods haven’t weighed since my last post so roughly a little over 30lbs list so far I’m not in any pain anymore........I’m back at work now ......I get supplies cases ready for surgery not a lot of lifting but I walk a lot about 60-100 cases daily so I wear 3lbs weights on my ankles for past 3days this well all day say from 10a-8p definitely gona keep  and I use a gazelle for 30 min to 1 hr daily try to keep that up as well that up that’s pretty much what’s going on with me right now sending prayers and hugs to you all on this journey some days are harder than others but end the end we all got this 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 🤗

Glad to hear you're doing so well!

Hey everyone!
Sx date was 11/19
Discharged yesterday 11/20 around noon. Only did a one night stay.
I am feeling better than I imagined. No serious gas pains. Stomach tight/slight discomfort. I think my throat is the worst of all.

U got this it’s a mind thing mostly You got this 💪🏾

I haven’t checked in here in a while, but I am 6 days out from my date (11/19) .. I am excited, struggling with the liquid diet but not discouraged. I hear Constipation is an issue for most, along with gas. Any tips besides Miralax? I was hoping for something more natural so my body wouldn’t necessarily depend on it.

Also! Congratulations to any of the recent sleevers

@bree03 Here’s a pic for u it just says bariactiv all came in that blue pouch that I get monthly I can give u the number to company that send them if u like I also take a hair skin and nails daily also just the cheap kind or the gummies  whatever is on sale when I’m out I get long as they are small dollar tree has some that are good that I’m taking now a months worth a dollar can’t beat that at all 

I had surgery on a Thursday went to church on Sunday and work on Monday (desk job)

The gas is the Devil - You have to keep moving and flushing out your body with Water - I choose to not eat much and lived on purified Soup
You will test the boundaries like everyone here most likely did - DO NOT touch any food that expands like bread, Pasta or in general a carb. I had issues with heartburn if you do get the medicine from your doctor ASAP. Also i learned this the hard way, do not drink anything prior to bedtime, about a hour. Once you lay down if the water is flushing around with the surgery blood in your stomach you are in for a ugly scene and major Heartburn.
During that first few weeks keep it simple and go light on food and focus on the Soups or brothes. It took me about 8 days to get to pudding. I lived on pudding jellos and pureed soups for 15 days. Trust me on this you test it with to solid of a food and its game on.
The number one issue is the Head games! Getting you head on straight is a b***h, Feel free to ask here and read the hell out of this place every post has a hidden secret, from Sex, food, Pain, Emotions, etc.
Until your ready for a balanced daily routine you have to master the Protein Shakes and Vitamins and minerals. Sounds easy but it is not. Balancing out your Calories, Vitamins and minerals is hard to do. If you can afford it i would suggest you get a nutritionist like i did, best money i spent.
Good luck and reach out if you need anything = This place is loaded with great people and great help and suggestions

Im exactly 1 week. Day one was not bad because I stayed over night and was super high on the pain which were even in my system for hours after I went home...days two and three were the hardest. Doc prescribed liquid hydrocodone/norco to be taken ever 4-6 hours ....for 4 days I took it every four hours and started to feel pain about two and a half hours I took it. Nevertheless, yes there was pain but the meds made it very manageable . It was not umbearable. I was not hungry at all and the most difficult thing was drinking the required 64 oz Water .... the first day I only managed about half but I was able to it every other day. Also, it was tough to do my consistent walks because the pain meds just made me want to sleep. The majority of the pain was from the gas in my shoulder . But overall the week was not that bad. And st one week, I feel about 75 percent normal which is amazing

Surgery was April 2018
Outpatient...no pain meds
Sipped water... drank coffee day after surgery
I feel great! No regrets!!!

Constipation was terrible though.... get you some Colace, Milk of Magnesia and Benefiber!

Liver shrink diet in full effect y’all please pray for me that I can and will get thru this with out cheating at all 🤦🏾‍♀️💃🏾
