We are the same size, almost the same weight (I'm a few lbs heavier) and literally in the same boat! It's like I was reading my own post. I'm disgusted and disappointed where I am today. Never...

DutchSleeve is right! Start with the no drinking 30 mins before/during/and after meals. That's been a tough habit for me to break too. Also start chewing every bite 20-30 times and cutting your...

How fantastic! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Enjoy the new you!

(WOW that post took forever to get approved! I'm assuming that's what happens...every post must get approved before getting posted?)
Anyway, THANKS all!l! I am pretty much healed now.

Sorry you are so uncomfortable! Speak to your doctor or nurses. I had pain exactly where you are describing yours is.
I was told it was gas pain. I have had multiple abdominal surgeries over...

Thanks so much for bringing up this topic. Your video really resonates with me. One of my sisters had bypass surgery 14 years ago and never followed through with the suggested (not required) follow...

AMAZING! Just- absolutely- amazing!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!

I agree with the other posts! You are a beautiful, totally new person! Very motivating for everyone to see. I'm only a few weeks out and can see that THIS TAKES WORK. My body knows it cannot...

I've been buying cases of Premier Protein at Costco and Sam's Club. You get 30 g of Protein per shake and only 1g of sugar. The case was $16.99 & $19.99 for 18 shakes. They're so easy to transport...

I was sleeved on 1.16.18 and down 21lbs (10 prepping diet/11 since surgery) so we’re sort of in the same boat! I’m literally back in my Dr’s office today and very frustrated. The scale hasn’t moved....

Wishing you lots of luck! I am only 9 days out. First few days were a blur...but like everyone will tell you walk, sip, sip, sip, walk! I lived on Sugar Free ice pops. You will be amazed at your...

You're having such amazing success! Congrats on those victories! Keep smiling and sharing your good news. It's great to be surrounded by such positive people!

Overall I am feeling pretty darn good. Just had my post op visit and I am down 21lbs since my pre-op diet. CRAZY! I'm SO happy! As I was rushing to get to my appt, I pulled in (phew on-time!)...

Hi HMaryn,
I was sleeved on Jan.16th so we are sort of in the same boat! I was given a patch behind my ear to help with nausea. So far, so good. I hope you'll start to feel better each and every...

So today is Day 4. Wish I could say I was pain free and feeling great! I know it will get easier with each passing day. It scares me that I was only able to drink one 16oz bottle of water and 1/4...

Oohhhh I like that! “THE LOSERS BENCH IS THE BEST PLACE TO BE!” Here’s to all the losers out there! �� I cannot wait!

This is actually happening....TOMORROW! Really excited and trying to remain positive (& do my best to squash the fear!) I have not purchased vitamins as of yet or the unflavored protein powder (what...

" the RD had made a shopping cart online just for people to go in and get the list from Walmart as to exactly what to buy and how much it would cost."
Hi simplyseahorse,
Are you able to share that...

I started preparing for this surgery approximately 6 months ago like many others do. All pre-op Dr. appts and procedures are complete, paperwork is done, etc. I even have a surgery date of January...

I am curious too. I think there are specific forums just for vitamin questions. (but I'm a newbie too and trying to figure out how to navigate!)
I saw my nutritionist yesterday. She really likes...

I really appreciate all of your advice and the tips. I should've added in my first post that I had a hysterectomy and went through alot of female issues/medical procedures leading up to the...

Hi,
I am so happy to be here. I am a very private person so this is a huge deal for me to be reaching out on a forum! I see there is alot of support, advice and some very blunt & honest stories...
