Thanks a ton for the detailed and informative post. You're a great help and inspiration to newbies like me.
A few more questions to pick your brain a bit.
1. How much did you lose during the liquids only phase.
2. What phase in your opinion contributes to the max weight loss.
3. Did you experience brain fog and general weakness post surgery. How many days did it last.
4. Any more advice for me 😁

Wow....what did you do Diva. Amazing...God bless you.

If you don't mind me asking...what did you do post surgery that resulted in this ..as in sort of a checklist of things to do or avoid.

Thanks

Thank you so much.
You should actually plan on writing a guide or blog. Your attention to detail and clear advice is a blessing to us.
God bless you

Thank you so much. You've no idea how relieved this made me feel 😂

Hi Peeps,
40m here.
I'm 7 days post op and got my bowels moving about 2 days back.
However , after passing motion, I'm noticing a brownish rectal discharge staining my underwear.
Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this and whether this resolves on its own or is something to be concerned about.
It's a bit embarassing especially if I'm wearing light coloured clothing. Please help !!!

I hit the next goal!

Down 101 lbs. 5 months post sleeve, 1 week post Gall Bladder removal ( Cholecystectomy).

HW 264
SW 235
CW 163
GW 130-145

1. Who moved my car seat back? Oh, nobody. My butt is smaller and I'm sitting further back.
2. What? Do gold necklaces stretch? Oh, no. My neck just got smaller and now the chain looks longer.
3. Painting my own toenails.
4. Fitting in most any chair.
5. Not worrying about getting stuck in chairs with arms.
6. Not worrying about a chair breaking (mostly outdoor chairs). Been there, done that.

It should pass once you’re on more solid foods. It can be from the liquid diet & also from the surgery. Try wearing some disposal knickers or incontinent pants. My friend’s surgeon suggested it before her surgery & she said they were a saviour especially when she had ‘poopy farts’. I wish I knew about doing it - save me tossing knickers when a had a completely unexpected, no warning diarrhoea attack in hospital. It was the worst - took two steps & gush! 😱
As with all things if it does persist give your medical team a call.

I remember being pre-op and my favorite thing to do was look at progress photos and dream
I am 6 months, 10 days post op and I am down 128 pounds total. This isnt a very great pic since I have been sick, but i still took it because anything is better than my before!!
