My gut has been tight off and on but I’m able to drink short sips of Water, broth. Did have a rough bout with soft boiled egg... owie my pouch of a stomach definitely tells me if I give it something it doesn’t like! So far so good. Another week of puréed foods...

I talked to doctor, they told me to stop my Protein Shakes until swelling is down and restart them Sunday. Today it seems to be better.

Well that's good :)

Im July 17th!!
Lol I don't know what I was saying. I'm July 17th, not 18th. Think I got confused because I am travelling to San Diego the 16th, and having surgery in Mexico the 17th.

They used a robot which I guess has better outcomes for pain and people go home quicker usually
My doctor used a robot also. 🙂 I didn’t know that was a thing until I went to my first appointment with him. I’m on day 6 now post-op and just started Protein Drinks. So far my tummy hasn’t acted crazy. I start all other full liquids Tues 🤞🏽

Supposedly the robot = quicker recovery and less pain. I would say my pain has been less than I expected but still painful. I was bloated... and distended.... for days. I just started passing adequate gas and had a BM on post op day 5. I re-added Protein Shakes now, a different type. Milk based were causing additional bloat so trying something different now! I feel ok but still needing oxy for pain. And all I want to do is sleep. I also had Tomato Soup last night, about 2oz. Wasn’t too bad!

What post op groceries did yall get? I have a few things like the broth packets I got from Bariatric Pal. But that's about it. Is there a list floating around here somewhere?

I have a TON of stuff. Some from the BariatricPal Store, some not.
I have a lot of Protein juices & Soups - sampler packs from the BP Store. Batches of Bone Broth (Kitchen Basics) Beef & chicken. The Beef is OK, the chicken is delish! sugar free popsicles!! I've been buying them for a couple of months, every time they went on sale. This week they were 2 (18 in a box) for $5! My freezer looks like a store freezer display! I have about 14 boxes! My surgery date is 7/22! I'm ready! Let's go!

This is the most amazing news! Way to go. This also gives me hope as I am not taking too much time off work. I know everyone handles pain/surgery differently but hearing 6 days out w/o pain is completely great!!!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
