Mine is Feb 7th in Cleveland Ohio my original date was Jan 17th but I got postponed.

I understand your struggle I am 3 weeks post op I tried to take Bariatric Fushion chewables they were the worst things ever. I also decided at that point just to stick to pills so I ordered Bariatric Fushion Multivitamin 1 a day. I will just have to add a Calcium chew along with it. It has been hard for me to drink Protein Shakes I believe it is a mental thing. I tried last week and it came right back up. I will try again in a couple of days. I didn’t like premier either you should try fairlife they are not thick like Protein shakes and don’t have that nasty after taste.

Glad you like it.

Yes I really enjoy it the first time I got it I got it with one less scoop of matcha just to see if I like matcha because I never had it before but once I tried it I was hooked I began getting it with how many ever scoops come with the size I order. I like it because it’s not as acidic and it gives me the boost I need. I am not a big Starbucks fan I think they are overpriced I am a Dunkin’ donut girl when it comes to coffee but I fully support Starbucks matcha lemonade. I will probably get one today lol. Give it a try

Prayers are sent up 🙏

Well I had my sleeve on Mon 2/7 . Barely any pain but had hard time with the anesthesia I also had issues keeping things down so they kept me until Friday. I had to get a little bit of steroids to decrease inflammation in my esophagus but they didn’t want to give me to much so as no interfere with healing process. It was feeling like o was swallowing a rock everytime I would try to sip Water and I was unable to keep anything down so I was surviving of of the fluids the hospital gave me. I was able to start keeping water down by Thursday. Last night was my first night home and when I drink it still bothers me some more like a pebble then a rock but definitely know it’s still inflammation. I am concerned because I have to sip so little and wait longer between just because of issues. I am only getting like a half bottle of water down with nothing else but maybe a popsicles for the entire day. I have finally stopped vomiting 🤮 because that was also an issue but I understand when people talk about foamies. My mouth out of the blue will get really moist and salty and I have to spit it out. Hopefully that will subside soon. Off to a rocky start I pray each day brings about healing and a smoother transition. Trying to remain positive.

Just keep trying I know it is hard. I am also on the liquid diet my surgery is on Feb 7th. I have thought about cheating so much I see some people are allowed chicken breast so I was going to have a chicken breast. Technically it’s cheating for me because I should be doing all liquids but some people can have it. I haven’t had it but I sure keep thinking about it .

Hi honey10604,
I am sorry you have had a difficult start, in the post operation consultation I told my dr about pain in the esophagus, I told hm, it felt like It was so closed, he said the tube they put will leave it sore for a while, even in the morning when I have not even tried to sip Water it hurts, he also told me that the omeprazole in the morning nd the night should help with this, I need to take it for at least 60 days after surgery. I then remembered I took one and had not taken more, so I am more careful with that phill and it did a big difference.
yesterday was my first day I could have 56oz of water, it is difficult, I will try warm water with drops of lime today I hope it makes it more easy to pass.
feel better soon.

Well TODAY IS THE DAY it is 6:30 in the morning in Ohio my surgery is scheduled at 1pm. I am so ready for this. I don’t know about you all but this has been a long daunting process for me. My insurance required 6 months nutritionist appt plus a few other and then I had to wait another 3 months for my first surgery date then that was rescheduled out till today . I am excited 😜 that it is finally here. Say a prayer for me everyone.

Finally got my new surgery for it being postponed because my doctor had Covid. From Jan 18rh to Feb 7th. So I am very happy they didn’t push it out to March like I know some of the reschedules had to.

Hello everyone!
I had my revision surgery on 01/19/2022. I went from lap band to sleeve. Today officially marks 2 weeks post-surgery and I have lost 20 lbs! I dealt with severe nausea, but it's much better now. I feel good overall. Just a bit tired still. Happy to have found this place! ♥

Had my gastric bypass surgery 1/31 and came home 2/1. Today is 2/2 and I am feeling good. I am pretty tired though. The only trouble I really had was the horrible back pain after I came out of surgery. That has gotten better though.

Yes so true I am usually not a salted Caramel fan. Someone gave me a fairlife salted Caramel and it was pretty good nothing I want to drink daily because it is so sweet but good. I just finished my first chocolate fairlife and yes by far the best Chocolate Protein Shake I have tasted so far. Most have funny after taste and thick and chalky not fair life. That will be the only kind I get for the rest of this venture . I also bought vanilla but I haven’t tried it. Waiting for it to chill in fridge. I will have this afternoon.

I’m on day 5 post op. Everything seems to be going pretty well. My Dr has moved me to phase 2 eating, creamy Soups, yogurts ith fruit flavor no pieces of fruit. Also soft boiled egg To go along with my Protein Shakes. I started my bariatric Vitamins B12 dissolveable tablet, calcium citrate 1000mg chewable(not so great) and a multi that looks like a starburst candy!!!! So far I have been walking abouT 1.5-2 miles each morning( not today 12in snow) I find it easier to drink while on my walk rather than sitting down. I have to say that I am not hungry at all. I know I have to eat which I am doing getting in 60-80g Protein and 64 oz liquids. It’s just weird that I’m not looking to graze in the fridge!!!! Also I am keeping a food journal, times and how much and protein taken in and am also using Baritastic app to track weight and goals and food as well. Might be a little over kill the journal but for now I seem to like it. Just wanted to share my first week with everyone because I’m proud of the work I’m doing!!!!

My surgery is next week and I cheated a few days 😩😩

Yea the pre diet is so different between doctors some are strict with 2 weeks liquid like mine 🤬😂 some have Protein Shakes for 2 meals then a lean meat and veggie for dinner and some none until the day before like yourself. As far as work I am taking the full 4 weeks off. I have a sit down job but I am going to use that time to focus on healing and just on myself overall, something I haven’t done in many years.

I really hadn’t thought about it until I read this post and the first thing that just came to mind that I wanted to do before but felt I weighed to much to do is zip line. So that is number 1 on my list. 😃

Jan 18th seems to be a good day for surgery lol. Well I guess we can make a New Years resolution to lose weight and actually keep it this time.🤣
