I didn't have much pain afterwards personally, but try to remember you're going through mental changes as well as physical changes. You'll have bad days, just think about where you were before, and...

Good luck, here's to a new you!

First off I hope everyone is doing well! It's been a crazy few weeks, but I wanted to check in and say hey. Monday I was 8 weeks out and 55lbs down since surgery and I have to say it's been the...

Congratulations on your surgery! Don’t worry from here on out every day gets easier. As far as the protein goes, I was in the hospital for two nights with only clear liquids to drink. I didn’t start...

It’s amazing, I’ve seen so many different plans here. One of the things I do like about mine is that I’m changing it up every couple of weeks. But I still maintain the 3 shakes daily until the final...

Regarding the protein shakes, I was told absolutely no pre-made shakes. They need to be powder so I can achieve the full amount of protein ( 20 grams at least) in only 4-6 ounces of liquid. Also it...

I’m 2 weeks out yesterday. My plan is:
Week 1- liquid w protein 3x daily
Week 2- full liquid, adds yogurt, ricotta cheese, low sugar applesauce etc.
Week 3 & 4- puréed foods
I’ve seen other...

Thank you. I’m going to try a liquid multi next, I’m not allowed gummies on my plan because of the sugar. I’ve got chewables now but the multi is the only one that bothers me. Vitamin D and my iron...

I know I’m a little late chiming in here but I also have very bad arthritis in both hips. I’m currently two weeks post surgery and I haven’t taken one pain pill for my arthritis since I was released...

Glad to hear you’re doing so well! I had my surgery a week before yours and let me tell you it just gets better from here on out. Congratulations and best of luck to you! You can do it.

Okay so my week 2 update is 25lbs down. I can’t believe it, I feel great too. I do have one question though, I started my vitamins last week and by process of elimination, I’ve determined it’s my...

Hope all went well, best of luck to you!

A week and a day and I seriously cannot believe how I feel. It’s pretty great! I will definitely keep the updates coming. It was by reading folks like yourselves posts and seeing the progress y’all...

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a week already since I had my surgery. I can’t get over how good I feel, I feel great so far! One big mistake I did make was that I have no idea what my weight was day...

Congratulations on your great job!

I actually can’t wait to get back in the gym. I’ve been going to the YMCA using the pool prior to surgery, but my first love is the iron. Can’t wait for the doctor to give me clearance for that....

OK I have to admit I am feeling way better than I thought I would be for being four days post surgery. It makes me happy and it makes me feel like I can take on the world. LOL. Can’t wait to see what...

You’re all great, thank you. Part of the reason I’m doing this is to be a better person for my family. I have such a great little guy and she’s amazing too, I cannot wait get into better shape for...

Discharged today and I have to say it’s true, there’s no place like home! Now time to recover and do what I have to do. I’m getting married in September so I need to make it happen. Just wanted to...

I am two days post surgery, I had issues yesterday with nausea when they started me on the liquid diet. They did give me medication for it and today I feel like a champ. So it’s really not that bad,...

Wow thank you all so much, you really are great! I had a rough day yesterday when I started trying to drink, I was very nauseous but that has passed and now I am where I need to be so I think today...

Like the title says, I went in about 8:45 this morning and everything was a success!!! I did have a hiatal hernia which was repaired and now tomorrow morning I’ll have my x-rays to make sure there’s...

Rexcom, yes I did my fair share of research too, and I know in the long run it'll be great. Best of luck to you, I hope great success to you as well. Keep me posted please on your journey.

@ erc70, hang in there, I have a feeling we both will have great success!

@ Glenn, your journey is truly an inspiration. I have been just like you, lose some gain even more than I lost. I've been...

Sitting here bored on my last day of work and I'm over thinking this whole thing. I know it's just nerves, but I hate the thought that I need to have a surgery to lose weight. Just hoping I'm doing...
