Anybody scheduled for March 2019?? I just got my surgery date of March 5th!! So excited. They had the end of February available but because of my job, I had to go with March.

Hey any one using the app Baritastic? Anyone has an Accountability Group, I can join? Or Anyone one to create so us March Sleeves can join and keep each other accountable? ?

I use baritastic, and I could create a group. I just need any emails on anyone who would like added.

Tomorrow is my surgery. I’m so nervous. I don’t know what to expect. ?

I hope your surgery goes great!

@vosstheboss I made one the other day. Just inbox me if you’d like to be added. There are three of us hanging out in there now.

Had mine Mar. 18th .... 2 nights in hospital.... home now and so far so good

I was sleeved March 18 2019 and so far so good. I'm 8 days post op today.. The only complaint I have thus far was the unbearable pain I was experiencing due to lack of BM. I took a laxative so I feel better but I'm just curious if this has happened to anyone else.

I’m just got out of surgery, 8 hours ago. The pain was unbearable, but pain medication help. I’m just been drinking water. I’m I supposed to drink protein because I have this 100% whey protein that I can add to my chicken broth.

Yes! I have issues in that department anyway but this was a little worse. I tried taking OTC stuff and nothing worked. I had to take prescription Linzess to get relief.

@julie.vsg same!! I was sleeved the 8th and I’m still trying to find the best solution for constipation/diarrhea ?? my body has yet to find an in between.
Hope you’re feeling better!

Sounds good, I'm eating soft foods. My doctor told me I can have any soup as long as it's healthy. I had been with bacon, enjoyed it so much. Had cottage cheese also. Still drinking protein shakes to make sure I am getting my protein in!

I have the Bariatrics app also. My email is bbzkitchen@yahoo.com. if you start a March group is like to join.

@mstressb69 I tried to add you but it said I can’t find the member. Is that the email you use for Baritastic?

How do you know when your full. How much protein are you supposed to consume. Also I’m supposed to drink 2 oz of water every 15 min? What about lunch, which is chicken broth and jello that’s provided by the Dr

Has anyone noticed any taste bud changes? I had surgery on 3/13 and started soft foods this week. I had mashed potatoes and found that I no longer care for them. Same thing with refried beans. I had some today and it was nasty. It was such a let down because I’ve been craving both for a month now. I am currently sick with both pink eye and the crud but I don’t think that’s why I didn’t enjoy the food. I’m really bummed.

How come we have to wait two weeks to start vitamins my hair is falling out so bad and is already paper thin I guess I will be wig shopping soon ?

My surgery was on March 13, 2019. It was supposed to be a month earlier but I caught the flu and the logistical setbacks kept rolling on from there. Now, thankfully, I’m 17 days post-op. I feel relatively good. Still a little sore. Struggling to get all my protein and liquids in as I get accustomed to my new stomach. I have no regrets so far but I know the real challenges will come when I return to work overseas after surgery and recovery in the States.
