Congratulations to you. I had mine on 16th. My recommendation is to follow your Dr advice but research throughly. I have found countless tips, receipes and insight from this n other forums. I can say take it day by day. It gets better and listen to your body. I hear a grumble and now i know my belly is like ummm enough lady. [emoji38] chapped lips drink more [emoji98] Gas get up n walk. We are starting to synch. U got this.

Ive had mine on 20th. Im having the blues
All don't have the blues. I know it is a lot physically and psychologically. Just try to trust the process. It gets better read some of the posts of those 4 or 6 months out for encouragement. You will love hearing health benefits not mentioned clothes fitting better, the ability move around easier. Increase self confidence n list goes on and on. Also bring this up w ur medical staff..if ur blues continue. I know B12 helped me. Most importantly Congrats on your surgery [emoji122]

Congratulations!! I had my surgery August 11. I’m on puréed foods. Invest in a Bariatric Cookbook (recommended by my Nutritionist). It has been so helpful. Has recipes for all stages . The hardest part is the fluids. But it’s a process so take it day by day.

Thanks for mentioning the Premier Protein Water. I'm definitely going to buy some. I have my first Post op visit with my surgeon on Tuesday. I'm looking forward to see how much I have lost.

I have this and it is awesome for Protein count......I able to drink 2 a day at Day 5 Post Surgery.

I had mine done on the 26th. Plus a hernia repair. I think the hernia repair made recovery harder. I'm 3 days out now and today was 500 times better than yesterday, so it must only get better. My husband had rny in December and has lost over 100 pounds, he asked me if I ever read the Interview with a Vampire books...I was like...yeah...??? And he says he thinks this process is similar to when they turn into vampires, it's uncomfortable at first and then you're almost superhuman. I thought that was funny. I'm down 9 pounds since surgery.

Anyone having back pain? My back hurts so bad, and I feel like I’m walking hunched over. Also, I’m 6 days post op and thinking about going back to work tomorrow. Any suggestions. I’m not getting paid for my time off.

      195 weight when I went in for surgery
      199 weight when I got home for surgery
      193.2 weight 4 days after surgery
      If the inflammation from surgery is resolved, I've lost 1.8lbs in 4 days.

      Had surgery last Thursday, so I've been home for 2 days as of 15 minutes ago.  I weighed more when I got discharged than when I went in despite only having eaten a Jello cup in 2 days, but I put that down to inflammation. This morning I weighed a little less than I went in.  I sneezed last night and my fiance saw me cry for the first time, and we've been together 16 years. I took my multivitamin first thing this morning and threw up. Kept it down after drinking 4oz protein shake. Yogurt gives me diarrhea, water hurts more than the fuller liquids, and my stomach is turning somersaults and I think I'm hungry because I'm used to interpreting it that way, but I have no desire to eat.
      My biggest problem is that I am used to being busy.  I own a business and I've been getting active on these boards, and when I'm on my laptop I forget to drink. Will I hurt myself if I drink faster?  I've been scheduling 4oz every 30 minutes with breaks before and after meals.  Is it too fast to drink 4 oz in 15 min to get caught up on what I missed?

      tl:dr at bottom,
      I could use some advice. I went to see my dietician today (not a bariatric surgery dietician, I can explain why I am seeing her if you want to know). She knows I am going to have weight loss surgery as long as I hit the goal weight my insurance told me I need to be at. I have to be at the goal weight by June 24, 2023, in order for my insurance to pay for my surgery.
      I had a weigh in the doctor's office a couple of days ago and weighed 301, my scale at home said 302. However, on the same day, the scale at a friend's house said 313. 
      I knew I had this Dietician appointment two days later and I knew she would weigh me. I continued to weigh myself at home (after getting new batteries) and I was at 302 then 299 and today at home I weighed 303, right before my appointment, when I got to her office I was weighed and it said 313.
      I am concerned about what to believe since the doctor's office and my scale show similar numbers. I also bought a new scale today and it said 313. 
      The Dietician told me I needed to eat more protein, which honestly I struggle with. she said I needed 150 grams!!  I said are you kidding? that seems like a lot.  She used my weight to come up with this number. 
      Should I really be trying to eat enough protein for a 300-lb person or should I be eating protein for a goal-weight person (mine is 170)?   
      also, my clothing is loose like I lost the 20 lbs mine and the doctor's scale shows, and not 10 lbs like everyone else's scale shows. Also, I have always naturally been more muscular even when I was 120 lbs and did not eat any protein aside from what is in plants. 
      tl:dr- should I be eating enough protein to support a 300lb person or should I be eating protein for a "normal" sized person? AND should I trust the Doctors scale more so than the Dietician's scale?

        I had the same issue. My scale was 6 pounds heavier than my bariatric doctor's. My scale agreed with my nutritionist's scale. I asked my bariatric doctor to have her scale recalibrated and she said it was a really expensive scale, so she trusted it. So, when it comes down to it, the scale that matters isn't the one that's right, it's the one that determines if you get your surgery or not. I would ask her when it was last calibrated and see if she will calibrate it. The difference is I Iost weight so well on the lifestyle change diet that I had to stop losing weight or risk not getting the surgery.
