Have you tried peddling? There are small Floor devices that allow you to pedal while sitting . I use 1 and 2lb weights to workout my arms. Hang in there!

Absolutely. Get up and walk. Take some deep breathes. Do not drink although you will be tempted to do so . Focus on chewing each piece . At first I put my fork down between bites to force the new eating /chewing.

Happy Anniversary to the July 7th surgery pals! We did it and survived the craziest of times:) I for one have had ups, downs and some emotional trials and now know it is worth it. 34lbs down! Hitting the ones again is so close ... my next goal:) Got the good ahead to include more seafood and actually laughed about how happy that made me. What a difference one decision and learning to push myself has made. Congratulations to everyone and keep pushing especially for those with the bathroom issues bc I for one know how that is really painful.

IWantthedream... sending you extra words of encouragement! You pushed thru preop and surgery and hit an obstacle. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."- Michael Jordan

you got this! Don’t let the scale dictate your success . Be proud of all
you have done and the rest will follow!

Good luck! Speedy recovery!

Thank you the suggestion! Hope all is well!

Wow.. you are young I am sending prayers your way! Don’t give up!

Hope you are feeling more positive ? This is my day 4 of postop. I read your post and felt the same. When in pain and exhausted, you can loose your way. BUT YOU GOT THIS!
I wanted to share this great recipe:https://bariatricbits.com/pureed-classic-egg-salad/
Little things can make you smile and I was struggling with what to eat before Bc I was surrounded by fake salad eaters and I felt uncomfortable eating what I wanted Ed and not salad and now post op I was stuck . My food will be different but my simple pleasures will be plentiful bc I won’t be a diabetic or obese or any other health related issue that causes me to sit out of the fun or spend more time with doctors then I do with friends. I would also rather eat 4oz of chicken, steak and turkey then a salad any day!! Hope that made you laugh! Have a great day!

Carlz - sending you well wishes and a speedy recovery.

Good luck twin? Sending speedy recovery ❤️

Push thru.. by day 4 you will be feeling much better. You are probably dealing with some withdrawals from sugar or caffeine:) That was my worst day. Today is day 7- down almost 10lbs. Have good energy and finished all my preop testing this morning. Except COVID that’s Monday... you got this. I was allowed to take meds for the headache like Tylenol and allege but sure if you are but it did help.
