I think others Have it covered but I’m chiming in anyways because I look forward to following your comments while you get back on track. Great suggestion gradycat.

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I appreciate it. You are right- mental health plays a big part. Looking forward to having people like you to journey with 😊

Okay, post each week to let us know how you've done in terms of macros, Water intake, Protein, and exercise. We'll be looking for these journal entries from you to check on your progress. You can do it!

You have done so well, huge pat on the back. You are juggling so many things at the moment and the resurgence of Covid can not help with your mental health. You have had a little holiday and have done no damage to your weight, which is a big thing. Hopefully you will get a speedy appointment with the counsellor and get your mojo back. Imagine not being able to wear your 187 pound clothes and have to go up a size again ..... Thats a slippery slope. There are people on here who have got to your weight who can advice you better than I. I am only a beginner on this journey but I wish you well and will follow you because I know I will need the advice too

I can finally participate! Got the green light from surgeon to try soft foods. I started with 2oz soft salmon and 1oz green Beans. I finished half the fish and all the green beans with no issues to speak of, knock on wood!

Me too! Clear it with your bariatric staff first, or an allergy doc. I use the meltable kids Zyrtec tabs under my tongue, and the kids liquid Benadryl.

I too had an allergic reaction post surgery. My regimen (after a couple steroid shots) was Zyrtec during the day, Benadryl at night (dr changed to hydroxyzine), topical cortisone mixed with gold bond itch cream, and lotttttts of ice packs! I feel for you- itching is the worst.

Thanks Kendra! Good luck and speedy recovery!!

I had my sleeve done 2 days ago. The neck and shoulder pain was excruciating and the worst part of the whole deal.
A wonderful physical therapist saw me walking the hall and she walked with me. She believes in my case it is referred pain from the diaphragm (I had hernia repair also).
When I got back to the room she got me these two HUGE moist heat packs that were really heavy. That helped tremendously.

Yes thank you so much, I will check in with you for sure!

Ahh we’ve got this!! 💪🏻💪🏻 Please feel free to message me if you need a friend when you’re recovering, we can reassure each other along the way! Good luck!

My surgery is on Monday also!!! Good luck with everything. I’ve also got all the feels. You’ll do great.

I got a date today for Monday the 13th! I’m shocked as elective surgeries have been cancelled at the hospitals. Apparently they can do one a day now. I go tomorrow for pre-op and Covid test. Ahhhh!!!! This is nuts
