Normally I'm not a toot your own horn kinda gal... but bring out the trumpets!! I hit ONEderland this morning. Friday will be my 6mo anniversary from surgery, but I started the journey in Oct. 2020. Thanks to everyone on this forum for all the knowledge and support!

Good luck! I hope they can figure something out for you

I had the same surgeon and i was canceled back in January it really sucks. I don't know if you are through Kaiser but you can call your bariatric case worker and see if they can get you in at another facility i know west la and a few other facilities are still doing surgeries and there are cancelations all the time. My friend who was canceled did this and got in a few weeks later. It's worth a shot. Good Luck and hope you can get something figured out.

I am with Kaiser. I will definitely call and try to find out. I really appreciate the suggestion!

I’m only 20 days out, but I have been using salt and chili powder on my eggs with no negative consequences. Other things get seasoned well too.
I’d rather stay on liquids than eat bland food.

yes - it's fine. I was pretty sensitive to spicy food the first few weeks (fortunately, that didn't last long as I love spicy food!), but as long as you can tolerate whatever seasonings you use, they're fine

I used seasonings without any issue. Some people can’t do spicy early out like others said so keep that in mind.

I had no problems at all with seasonings and like future skydiver (love the name I’ve always wanted to do it and now I’m not afraid of snapping the harness) said, it helped keep me on the mushies longer. For me, nothing felt any worse than pre op spicy wise, if I could handle it before it was the same after.

Oh, yeah season to your heart & your tummy’s content. Just watch herbs to begin - they can be too coarse & dry & also watch spices as your tummy can be a bit sensitive for a while.

Premier Protein has the chocolate Peanut Butter shake, never tried it myself though.

Yes! I was up and at it the next day, and out and about that weekend! Just listen to your body, and you will be fine! Also no matter where you go take water!!!!

Just had my surgery July 26th! I’m about 3 days out!

are you able to basically do your normal route at this point? I have some scheduled for 3 weeks out and i'm worried i'll be to tired and run down to do it.

It all sorted itself out. Guess it was just my body healing?

Good luck today 🤗

Yes! May it be smooth sailing for us both. I’m hoping I don’t get stuck staying at the hospital. I was told you just stay the one day 🤷‍♀️ I’m honestly not looking forward to the first 2 weeks.

you too! I'm about to leave for the hospital!

Excellent to hear! Hope your recovery is smooth sail from here 😊

@brendasansan how did your surgery go?

Will do! Started my liquid diet today and had my covid testing it's getting real!!

Surgery July 19

That is great to hear! Mine is scheduled for next Tuesday at 0730. How long where you in the hospital?

Exciting! We’re the same height, similar weight, and have similar goals! Keep me updated on how you’re doing as we’re only a month apart!

Tip from a June surgery post op: start taking benefiber preop! The Constipation is bad after surgery.

July 16 is my big day!
