This subject hits close to home for me, being a very social person and going to many functions I found myself wanting to have some drinks. I found that vodka and crystal light wasn't bad on calories and low carb. The way alcohol affects you post surgery is so different then before, I've blacked out after two drinks. You…

[/quote] Thanks or your response, what dosage are you taking? I give myself the shot so it is no biggie that way for me( I am a lab tech) [/quote] I take 5000 mg daily, seems to be enough to keep me going!

My doctor advised against the shot so I take a sublingual B12 and liquid B complex every morning. It's not convenient but I haven't had any issues feeling low on energy, and on days I feel I need an afternoon pick me up I take another B12 sublingual.

It's all normal! Constipation, gas diarrhea all normal the first couple weeks, don't worry it gets better!

Brush it off and finish strong, you made it this far and I doubt a bag of candies expanded your liver back to the starting size. This should just reconfirm your making the correct decision, you'll be limited on what you eat after surgery and it'll be difficult to emotional eat. Hang in there, tomorrow is a new day, start…

What your feeling is definitely common leading up to surgery from the people I talked to. I was starting to second guess my decision with just a few weeks until surgery. I thought "I just dropped 30 pounds like nothing" but then I started thinking about how many years of dieting and weight gain I've gone through a and…

I was sleeved May 5th and have lost 50 pounds since surgery, I have been exercising 4 days a week doing about 4 miles of fast walking. I am still having a shake for breakfast and another mid day but am able to tolerate solid proteins as well. I think fish is easiest to digest and I've been finding stuff that I can and…

Haha clap at the hospital was a definitely a "wth let's check this one out" lol....as far as the CPAP they told me to bring mine but insisted the respiratory therapist use their machine and mask, but I declined wearing the CPAP at all since I was dealing with recovery and not sleeping very much as it was.

You look awesome, truly an inspiration!!

The first few hours right out of surgery sucked I'm not gonna lie, walking around was better then any pain meds they'll give you. I went home the next day and felt better each day and was cleared with no restrictions at two weeks. I was scared as hell going into my surgery and I hate being put under but the experience was…

I think that's the reason it's been easy due to the fact I found a shake that I like and I'm getting 90 grams of protein a day. I appreciate your feedback and insight, thank you!
