Hi all ???? I'm Jaysen and was curious to see if anyone has a May surgery date? I think it'd be great to have as much support as possible..

I'm 12 days out. Having trouble getting my protein in so I have a really bad chest rash now. I still regret the surgery.

I'm 12 days out. Having trouble getting my protein in so I have a really bad chest rash now. I still regret the surgery.

Something I learned from being on this forum is that different surgeons do different things! For my first two weeks I'm only supposed to work on fluids and staying hydrated. I don't start protein until my two week appointment! It's just odd to me.

Why exactly are you still regretting this surgery?

I'm feeling pretty great today!

I think we should all share our stats with one another!

I will start!

Highest weight : 330

Surgery weight : 321

Surgery date : 5.11.15 (8 days post op, yay!)

Current weight : 305

I also agree. Could never have done this by myself.

Hello all

I was wondering if anyone has or knows of a good bariatric cookbook.

I'm gonna research to internet but just thought I would ask. Will let you all know if I find something good.

Usually when I would diet , I can find and eat the same 5 or 6 food items over and over. Thinking maybe because I am no longer "dieting" but adopting a new lifestyle, may help to have variety.

If you don't have Pinterest, I would get it! They have some great low carb high protein meals on there!

I am still consuming only shakes smooth yogurt and smooth soup.

Thursday I can start mashable foods like scrambled eggs etc.

I have yet to feel full, but I've also not been truly hungry. ????

Incisions itching like mad!

I'm just using Pinterest and Google searches as my cookbook. Good luck finding one.

I hade surgery last Thursday. I hadn't prepared for the pain. Worst pain I have ever had. It is Tuesday now and I am finally off pain mess. Trying to stay positive. Can't wait until I can have pureed food. Liquid diet is a bummer but loosing weight. Lost six pounds since surgery.
