  1. I had surgery 10/24 and I'm down 60lbs. I'm doing well and enjoying new adventures. I try to get out of the house on weekends to avoid sitting around and snacking, plus I get extra steps in. I'm still 20lbs from the doctor's goal and 60 from my goal, so I still have a long way to go. But I'm excited to be on this journey!

  2. I'm having trouble getting all my liquids as well, though I'm constantly sipping. My 2 week follow up is Monday, so I'll see if it's effecting my labs Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

  4. Hi Sarah, I had surgery on the 25th. The nurse in the hospital gave me an ice pack across my incisions and it helped immensely, especially with the swelling. I only removed it when I'd go for a stroll. I used it at home for a couple days until my abdomen returned to almost normal. Walking really helps with the pain, which can be a combination of gas and surgery pain. I found that warm mint tea (no sugar) helped with the gas also. Welcome to the other side. We got this!

  5. I had the sleeve on 10/25/19 and I'm planning on returning to work 10/31. I'm still a bit stiff, but overall I feel great. My job is mostly sedentary, but I feel like I'll get in more walking than I have staying home Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

    CHEWABLE MULTIVITAMINS???

    My doctor recommended Bariatric Fusion chewable. I found the orange cream flavor on Amazon. 4 chewables a day gives you all the iron, calcium, B12, etc. you need and they taste good. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app
  7. My surgery is finally scheduled for this Friday. I went in for my pre-op labs, x-ray, EKG, anesthesiologist consult today. Now things are very real. I'm trying to keep myself busy, buying my post-surgery protein, Jello, etc. but I'm starting to feel the nerves. Has anyone gone through the last minute doubts like "maybe I should try dieting again?" I think a big part of my concern is that I feel isolated and ashamed to tell anyone, so only my husband knows. I tried to tell my sister, but she immediately came up with a million reasons for me not to. I don't really have any non-judgemental friends. So if things don't go right, I'm afraid of the backlash. Is anyone else in a similar boat? Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

    Surgery this week...

    I am so glad it's over! Now, I don't have to think about backing out. My toughest decision today was deciding between grape or watermelon Liquacel! Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app
