Hey everyone! I had my surgery on the 9th! Everything went really well, I’m still a little sore, but it gets easier every day. The biggest challenge has been the protein shakes, while they were good at first, I have begun to have a dislike for them. Tomorrow is mashed potatoes, soups, and creamy peanut butter! Looking forward to that immensely. So far I haven’t experienced any nausea or vomiting. I already feel a change in my weight I’ve lost 25 lbs between my preop and post op diet. Once I start working out the weight should fall off. Thanks to everyone who greeted me and sent their well wishes!

Congrats! You're doing great so far!

Awesome, my surgery was on the 12th of May and I'm doing great too. Not too much pain, I'm on a liquid diet, but it is full liquid, so no real food for me yet, just drinks. So far I have not had Nausea or vomiting either. I'm still swollen, so I'm not stepping on the scale for a while. I'm doing a lot of walking, and resting, and drinking plenty of fluids to stay healthy as possible. I am surprised how little pain I have had, just achy but no cramps or sharp pain at all. Glad to have BariNation on my side, they are an online support group that I pay to be a member of, and love the support of my online friends, and those that I keep in contact with by phone, and someday will meet. They have nutritionists and social workers, and Bariatric Pal is one of their co-sponsors, which is nice. Might want to check them out. Glad you are doing well, keep up the great work, and don't look at the weight, do other measures. Hope you took lots of pictures of you before, you won't regret that!!

awesome job! keep it up! keep posting you will get a plethora of knowledge and advise
