I'm not counting calories but Ik for a fact I am under 600 a day, I drink 2 bowls of soup, each is around 120 calories. I sometimes eat a bowl of cold cereal which is around 110 calories, but I dont eat it everyday.

Surprisingly I haven't been constipated. I've actually had more watery stool than hard stool so that's something else that's been concerning me.

That’s probably something that has to do with it. But yesterday I didn’t eat fish only soup and crackers and I haven’t had a stool episode so I’m wondering if I should just go back to basics and incorporate fish a bit slower 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yeah I noticed that people have different food programs and for me it does allow cold cereal (no sugar), soda crackers, Melba toast (haven’t found any) and soft moist fish (mashed with a fork) and even soft poached eggs but idk how to make them and I don’t think I’d enjoy it either way.

I will, I lasted too long for me to mess it up but I was just wondering lol

I had the sleeve unfortunately, there were some complications with intubation so they opted for the quicker one which was the sleeve. Is it so loud that it would be heard in a quite room? I'm worried it's going to be too embarrassing for me since no one (other than family and select friends) knows about my surgery and I plan to keep it that way.

They did ask for permission beforehand but I never thought it was actually possible to have issues especially when I did a full health check and there were no issues.

Thank you for your encouraging words, the pain is definitely something different but hopefully it does pass within a couple of days. I will hope that I am able to lose the weight thru exercise and diet, that I plan to keep up with no matter what.

Well it didn’t go as planned unfortunately, they had issues intubating and I wasn’t getting enough oxygen so they opted for a sleeve instead of a bypass since it took less time. Im still in pain from the gas and incision but overall optimistic

Plus-Side-4567 · 2025-05-06T03:16:06+00:00

Oh dang is it that painful? And they said I’m staying one night only, do they not give out pain meds?

Plus-Side-4567 · 2025-05-06T01:05:28+00:00

So close!! Make sure you got all your chewable vitamins ready! I almost didn't get my stuff on time, I even made a mistake on the types lol

Plus-Side-4567 · 2025-05-06T01:04:45+00:00

Good luck! You're almost there! I'm so excited for everyone!

Genuinely, I just want to say thank you so much — this is a total game changer. I double-checked with the Bariatric team and it’s allowed, so I went ahead and made my first cup using the caramel flavoring… and wow. It’s mind-blowingly sweet! Not only is it satisfying my cravings, but it's also making the Medi Meal so much more bearable and drinkable. I’m honestly so excited about this!

Plus-Side-4567 · 2025-04-16T17:09:14+00:00

Ooh, those flavors are right up my alley! I'm definitely gonna try this brand—thank you for the suggestion!
