I'm praying for you that your Dr can figure out what's going on. All will be well!!!

Yes I have anxiety too....don't want to stretch my sleeve. Making sure I get my liquid & protein in. I don't want to mess this up.

Non scale victory for me today..... I can take my Jeans off without unzipping them or unbutton them🤣💃🥳🍾

@Neka87 every POUND counts. Be patient with yourself. Im 5 weeks post surgery THANK GOD im doing well. Yes sipping on something warm will make you feel better. I've been doing that since I came home from the hospital & I truly believe that's what helped me GREATLY!

@Veejay sending love & hugs your way. We are here for you if you need us we are in this together. All will be well. PRAYING for you

@Lizrios THANK GOD you are ok. Elevate your legs & get some rest.

@Lizrios oh no. I pray everything is OK & they find out quickly why your ankles are swollen. Praying for you. Let us know you are ok💝

@sharonwg thanks....we all are! Just the fact that we made the decision & took the step to gain back our lives & better health. Its a daily process......one decision at a time. Im praying success for us all here on this thread! I truly believe our BEST days are ahead of us!

@Lizrios however we can get it in😊

@sharonwg no I don't mind at all. I'm always happy to share & help in anyway I can. YESSSS I am enjoying the results I'm down a total of 26lbs since my liquid diet of 2 weeks prior to surgery and since the surgery. On Monday I go for my 2nd post surgery visit with my surgeon. I'm excited about that. I've been on a soft diet and I must say it has been pleasant....everything that I have tried my body is accepting it. I make a conscious effort to chew EVERYTHING like 30 times before I swallow....I've heard horror stories & I don't want to experience that. I wait the 30 mins in-between before drinking my liquids. I'm determined to make this work so I'm being intentional with what I do. I also meet a young lady we had surgery the same day by the same Dr & we live about 30 mins from each other so we have developed a nice bond & we check up on each other 2x a week and share tips, struggles, concerns etc

Hi @sharonwg yes my surgery was May 9. It was Excellent! Thank God!!! The only complaint I had was gas after surgery & that lasted about 3 days. I was in the hospital overnight & after my sallow test the next day I was released to go home. I never experienced any pain at all....thank God. I was sent home with pain medication & gas relief and I never had to use any of them. Walking truly was the BEST thing to do to get rid of the gas. For the 1st week I walked inside my house & around my backyard.

I was not able/allowed to drive after surgery. Someone had to pick me up or they would not discharge me. I took 6 weeks off from work. My surgery was May 9.

May surgery was May 9th. Thank God I'm doing so well. I'm Grateful 🙏🏾 I've had no issues other than I stalled about 2 weeks ago...but I'm still pressing on. I hope it breaks soon.

Sorry to hear. I'm praying for you.

Congratulations...

🎉🍾💃

I was put on pureed diet after surgery.....however no fruit or veggie. High protein is my Dr focus & WATERRRR

Please be safe & I pray all goes well. I'm excited for you.....this was one of the best decisions I made.

Welcome, lucky you your liquid diet is so short. Best of luck....and all will be well.

Right now my favorite is tuna with ricotta cheese

What drains do you have?

Glad you're trying other shakes. I'm sure it's very frustrating.

Im so glad your surgery went well. That pain will go away soon.

@AmandaD. Exactly & you're learning more discipline....it will all work for your good!

Hello everyone my surgery was May 9th everything went wonderful...thanks be to God! I am healing nicely & have had no issues. Today is my post surgery followup with my Dr I'll keep you all posted. How is everyone doing? Any struggles/Tips/Suggestions. Have an Amazing day & Blessings Overflowing upon your lives.
