No its good for it actually but i was over doing it i was falling asleep with it on and everything

Hey now! That’s awesome! You’re doing great. I’m only 5 days post op but I already know trying to reach that calorie goal will be a little difficult initially..or even counting the calories in general. Maybe cream of wheat with a scoop of Protein for Breakfast? I think I can have that during week 2 😬

Hey I’m sure it’s normal to feel a little sad, you’ve made such a life changing decision and it’s okay to mourn that! I believe you’re having a completely normal reaction to the changes of your old self, old habits, old mindset, etc! You should also let your doctor know how you’re feeling, hormone changes do take place when having wls! Praying for your peace 💕

You may be better placed to follow the more general post op guidelines...liquids, purees, soft foods then standard foods, with a focus on meeting some Protein minimums (typically about 60gms of protein per day). This may help with the transition from liquids to standard foods.
If you were not give any guidelines from your surgeon or dietician, if you google 'pureed food bariatic surgery' you will find lots of suggestions, here is one I found https://www.upmc.com/services/bariatrics/surgery-process/post-surgery/diet/pureed, foods lists as well as timeframes will likely vary from clinic to clinic.
Your surgeon or dietician may also have some suggestions for you.

I stopped with the heating pad all together i feel so much better i got slight to no soreness at all im doing well thank you

Get an abdominal band it helps keep everything firm and in place and helps with a lot of the pain

Hi everyone! Im schedule for my sleeve surgery on the 26th! It’s been hard but I believe it’s worth it! I’m looking for a surgery buddy that can help me through this hard holidays.

My whole family ended up with a cold the week before my surgery..except me lol. I drank airborne, drank as much Water as I could, and avoided my sick family lol

December 26th for my sleeve!

100% better now! I love your quote!

I had surgery the 16th mid day and that wake up was terrible..I couldn’t wait to get to my room. When I did they put me on a morphine drip and I slept for the evening. I was extremely thirsty and around 9pm I woke up and started Water & diluted apple juice and finally got up at 11pm to do a lap around the unit. Once I got to moving I started feeling better even though I was still in pain, they’d give me morphine when I made it back to my room. I’d fall asleep for a couple hours and do it again. I went home the next day.

I’m not sure the reason or difference between a nerve block and/or regular pain meds? It seems people who have those have a bit more pain.

Hopefully you get to feeling better and get to go home!

I agree with lots of things being super sweet! Even plain bottles Water has a sweetness to me right now 😩. I’m only drinking water, Protein water occasionally, broth and Gatorade zero. Tomorrow I can add in more things like cream of wheat, sugar free yogurt and pudding, and milk..so excited lol. I was slightly dehydrated in the hospital but the made that was better before discharge and the Gatorade zeros have really helped me. I just used the first week to really focus on fluids. Sipping is hard for me, I bought crushed ice because that really helped

Good morning!! I’m very new here, I ran across the site yesterday and thought I’d go ahead and sign up!
I’m 29 years old and a mom of 2. I just got married March 29th this year but we’ve been together for 7 years!
I started my journey March 22nd, 2019. I went to my initial consult one week before my wedding day lol. I didn’t know if I really wanted to have surgery at that point but the thought had crossed my mind many times so I began the process. I waited until after our honeymoon and for the wedding excitement to calm a bit before starting monthly PCP visits.

At my consult in March I was 292lb but at my visit to my pcp in May I was 312lb...wtf lol. Happy weight maybe? It needed to go..since my 2nd PCP visit on 6/25/19 I’ve lost 30lb so I’m pretty happy with the work I’ve put in so far. My husband had no idea I weighed over 300lb but I’m “proportionate” so it’s hard to tell exactly, but I knew.

Anyway. I spent my 6 months researching and educating myself on this surgery, reading others stories, the good and the bad. I’m definitely having the surgery and I’m excited!

Today is actually my pre op visit with surgery set for December 16th!
I’m open to any advice, suggestions, or stories! I’m excited to y’all with you guys!

I had a rough recovery and it took me till 3 weeks to fell better!

Definitely!! Looking great!

8 month difference...1 1/2 month post-op

I called them and they told me I could take Zicam, Airborne, or Emergen-c. I got Zicam and Airborne. I tried the Zicam first and glad I did. I feel so much better and able to breathe!

I try to get in at least one scoop of Protein every day along with high protein foods. Recently I found that after mixing in my Protein Powder with my greek yogurt and let it set for a minute or two allows the protein to absorb into my yogurt or cottage cheese lessens the taste of the powder. I also add some stevia. It's a nice tip just thought I'd share my experience.
