The limited edition all red box of sugar free popsicles is my jam.

I bought the sugar free bomb pops (red, white, and blue) on someone's recommendation, and they're OK? But all I really want are the red popsicles. I hope they're lying about this "limited edition" thing.

I’m in Canada and can’t find the sugar free pops ANYWHERE. I must have looked at 20 places or more. I’ve been making my own Mio-popsicles, and they are ok but I would love a real popsicle

So, my follow up went well. I had to eat food that I could smash with a fork and flaky fish for the week. I can move on to solid food. I'm nervous because everything I eat or drink makes me burp non stop. I dont know what's going on. This morning I couldn't finish a scrambled egg and Beans. I burped so much I ended up throwing up some. This is crazy. I even keep chewable anti gas at the dinner table and one on my nightstand.

Anyone else have this issue? Will it stop?

So turns out I was feeling so awful because I got an abdominal infection from the surgery. It wasn’t a leak, but something got into my system and created an abscess. I spent 2 weeks in the hospital on strong antibiotics, being fed through a tube, but luckily, no corrective surgery was needed.

I’m home now, eating puréed foods and slowly starting more solid foods. I’m feeling so much better. I’m a little over one month post op. Down 33 lbs since I started the preop diet and down 21 lbs since surgery! Feeling great. My BMI has gone from 42 to 34.9 - I am officially, only Obese class 1!

I had pain that felt like a pulling inside. Like a pulled muscle.. apparently scar tissue forming or breaking and normal. Not sure if that’s what you have but could be.

PSA!!

Do yourself a favor and buy the Bariatric Advantage Vitamin chews and calcium chews. Life changing vitamin experience. They are almost a starburst. I was struggling with everything about my current Vitamins. Make sure you can have them at what stage you are on food wise. You can order through their website.

Today I had my 6 week post op appointment and was cleared for all foods except beef and raw veggies!! A good day!

How many weeks out are you? I know a lot of people have difficulty with egg. It goes down for me but it certainly sits different than other foods. I had some hiccups after only a couple of bites of egg white yesterday. Does it happen with all foods or just some of those higher stage foods?

Hi. I am scheduled for December 11, but have a question for you guys who have already been through surgery. How soon before surgery did you stop taking medications such as Celebrex? Were there any other medications that you were required to stop taking prior to surgery? Or get other formula for - liquid? I don’t see my doc for pre-op until 2 weeks out and I don’t want there to be any surprises that might postpone surgery.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
