What's been the toughest part so far

Shoot chicka chicka start ta talking!

I am excited for you and me (LOL)

What are you looking forward to when you get to your goal weight?

Haha yes ma'am! Oh my gosh I'm so excited for buying new clothes, feeling more active, feeling light, being less in pain. I've already started to see some awesome changes like my blood sugar and pressure have been amazing (main reasons I got the surgery) ohhhh and to finally get off all my meds will be awesome!

I just joined recently (sleeved October 18th) but I noticed the same. I've gotten some replies on my posts but it's been quiet and since I just had my sleeve I'm just full of stuff I want to talk about.

I'm currently a HH so it's hard for me to get regular bras. Right now I have to amazing sports bra that I finally got to tighten to the last clip on the back!!! Can't wait until I finally get to shop new bras!

Ahhh you all look fabulous!!!! I'm only 3 weeks since my surgery but I've been trying to push my best friend to lose weight with me so we can go bathing suit shopping together. Keeping my fingers crossed for both of us!

So I had my gastric sleeve on October 18th and since been losing weight evenly. I was down to 209 and then my period started on the 5th and I jumped up about 5lbs. I wasn't really worried as I normally gain 5lbs around my period but yesterday was the last day of my period and I'm still up about 5/6 pounds. Any of you have similar stories? Should I be worried or should it go down in a bit? Any advice is appreciated! Also having my 2nd follow-up with my surgeon next Monday.

Mine was the 18th so it's been exactly 2 weeks since the surgery. I got pretty lucky able to keep food down. Still adjusting to how fast I get full. Get to start normal food on the 7th!

So my surgery was on the 18th and I'm currently in my full liquids phase (puree is on the 1st!) It no longer hurts as food goes down but I'm still trying to adjust to timing with eating and I feel starving at times. Hoping I get adjusted to that eventually.

My doctor had me on Clear Liquids 3 days post op and then full liquids for a week then puree

My nutritionist told me about this during our first meeting and had me take Biotin since then

It's been hard for me to drink since I'm taking small sips

I don't hate myself for it but there is that little voice in my head wondering if I made the right choice. But then again I feel like I did because I already have diabetes type 2, high blood pressure, etc. If I didn't do this I don't know if I would've been able to fix myself and instead be a mess in my 40s and 50s if not dead

This is day 2 after the surgery. I'm home but now really feeling the pain and keeping up on my Tylenol 3 every 6 hours. Eating has been a big learning curve. Still trying to remember if I use a spoon to pace every 5 minutes and for the medicine cup every 15 minutes. Just hoping this pain in my back and at the incisions go away soon.

Musclepharm Cookies and cream

I just finished mine yesterday. Still trying to get used to eating.

That's a lot of different products

Wanted to make sure I had a good variety of stuff

Hi everyone!

Just started my pre op diet today. So far it hasn't been too bad but then again I was off work since I had to get my upper endoscopy procedure. I got a bunch of boxes of bariatric Soups, Gelatin, pudding, unflavored Protein collagen peptides, two different flavors for my Protein Shakes, Protein Drink mixes, etc. Now planning for my stock for Clear Liquids after the surgery. Any advice is appreciated! My surgery is next Friday the 18th... And ahhhh my birthday is tomorrow, so birthday creamy Tomato Soup for me!!!
