I am happy to hear you finally have your surgery date. Don't stress over any of it and just follow what your doc suggests. My surgery and recovery have gone extremely well. I did hit a stall for a week in my weight loss but am doing all according to plan and it will turn around. I pray all will go as well for you.

My surgery was April 6 and I am going through the same thing. We just have to keep doing what we are supposed to do and eventually it will pass, but it sure is agravating! Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

Everyone's bodies work at different rates. I did gain 5 pounds after surgery, but have lost ten pounds since home. Surgery was April 6

Thanks for the suggestion

I had my sleeve surgery on April 6 and have two weeks of lovenox to take. I take the shots in my thighs and have had no bruising..

Great job on being up to 15 minutes. I wish I had a walking buddy. Maybe I can find one at our bariatric meetings. My hubby already walks over 11,000 steps at work each day, so he is not really wanting to walk more.

Leslie Sansone is great. I am thinking at first her videos will be too much. I just need gentle walks until the incisions heal. Great recommendation though!

I'm really doing incredibly well. I haven't felt much like walking much, but told myself I am getting up and going out in the morning. Not much of an outdoor walker. Maybe I will get better at it. To be honest, I have had rude people comment on my weight in public, which keeps me out of the public eye, but I live in a quiet condo area with little street traffic, so I hope to go early and not feel too self conscious. I will stick close to my condo anyway to start.

Doing very well. First day adding protein shakes back in my diet. I did end up having a hiatal hernia repair done too. No clue I even had one.

Thank you, I feel pretty good and love watching the scale right now lol

I was told to bring my CPAP and the anesthesiologist said it was best I did and too use it even when just napping. I am home now and doing great.

We are so close. We're you at UofM or St. Joe's? Did all go well? I spent one night in hospital and am doing great. I start protein shakes again tomorrow.

Hey Tracy, I'm in Michigan and my surgery is tomorrow too. When is your surgery and what city are you in? I'm in Livonia

So true. I like to come home to a clean house when I travel.

My house too! Lol

Okay April 6 th surgery peeps, our day is tomorrow! I'm excited, antsy, nervous, and rarin' to go! Doing a load of laundry now, washing my security blanket/poncho/robe to take. Washing my CPAP so it's ready to go with too, washing my body tonight ,lol, with the special soap for the third night in a row. Wedding rings removed and all other jewelry. Grabbing charging cord and phone and tablet to take too. Just waiting for call to verify surgery time. Right now, scheduled for 9:45am. How are the rest of you doing?

My friend used gas-x said it was a lifesaver for her Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

Absolutely, and mine is the cheezits staring at me. Lol. Bad thing is, I work from home. Lol Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

You can ask your nutritionist. I know our program starts you on a children's chewable at day 4 after surgery. That continues until week four and then you still take but add b12 calcium and D. Each program will vary Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm doing about the same thing for my liquid phase. Just one more day to get thru work! Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

Thinking of you both right now hoping you are getting a good night sleep. One day behind you both! Best wishes Sent from my Lenovo YT-X705F using BariatricPal mobile app

I've been on a 1000 calorie diet for a week now and I am amazed that I haven't felt all that deprived. Tomorrow, I start the all liquid diet, still at 1000 calories per day. I am thankful it is only for 3 days for me. Took my COVID test yesterday. Taco Bell commercials get me every time but I remind myself the food is never as good as it looks in their ads. Lol. Helps a little!

They are my fav too Mariann

I see you are in MO so we will actually be having surgery on the same day very near the same time. My daughter's name is Jessica and was born in 1987. Small world. I hope all goes well for you. Which surgery are you having?

Just focus on getting prepared and on how great you will feel a year from now! You will do great, we all will! One week until my surgery on April 6
