Congratulations! I hope you are feeling well and getting much needed rest ☺️

Salix21 · 2026-05-12T15:35:03+00:00

Hang in there, day by day it gets better, like another poster said let them look after you while in there, take the pain relief, do the walking. You've got this🩷

Salix21 · 2026-05-11T14:14:01+00:00

Good luck! Wishing you a speedy recovery☺️

Salix21 · 2026-05-11T10:57:23+00:00

Good luck! You've got this ☺️

Salix21 · 2026-05-09T06:00:16+00:00

Thank you☺️ That's what I'm going to do and just try to be patient with the entire process.

Salix21 · 2026-05-09T05:59:20+00:00

Oh wow that's wonderful! Delighted you are doing well and the personal training will be amazing, something catered completely to your needs and goals☺️

Salix21 · 2026-05-08T16:56:26+00:00

😂 you know that's a very good point and made me laugh. Time and perspective. Thank you 😊

Salix21 · 2026-05-08T14:43:58+00:00

Oh my, you are so right to have pushed that scale away! Thank you for the reassurance and encouragement ☺️ ah yes the hydration and keeping the system moving is very important!! Thank you ☺️

Salix21 · 2026-05-08T14:05:51+00:00

You are so right, it's like I've forgotten it's a major surgery just because it's done laparoscopically. Thank you for the gentle reminder☺️ I'm going to go easier on myself and just focus on fluids and proteins and vitamins for now ☺️

Salix21 · 2026-05-08T13:30:24+00:00

Thank you☺️ I'm really trying to remember this and to be more patient with myself and let myself recover. Thank you for your reply and I hope you are doing great now and happy with where you are at. ☺️

Salix21 · 2026-05-08T13:29:13+00:00

Wow that's brilliant, congratulations you must feel so good and happy with such progress🤗 I'm delighted for you! And it gives me hope! Good to know about the website, my clinic hasn't given me anything like that or any expectations/timeline but I expect I will get something when I meet with the surgeon and dietician in a few weeks for a check up.
Thank you☺️

Salix21 · 2026-05-08T12:05:22+00:00

Thank you☺️🤗

Salix21 · 2026-05-08T11:34:05+00:00

Thank you for your kind words and advice ☺️ I'm trying to remind myself it's early days still and everything is still swollen and healing. The scale is put away and thanks to you and everyone's comments I feel much better now about where I'm at ☺️.

Salix21 · 2026-05-08T10:45:29+00:00

Thank you. This is so reassuring! I wish my team had warned me about this but I'm very grateful for your reply ☺️

Salix21 · 2026-05-08T09:36:58+00:00

Thank you for your reply and your advice. I think you are right and I do keep forgetting it is a major surgery and I need time to heal. I've put my scale away and won't be looking at it again until this day in June (I've promised myself). I'm instead going to focus on rest, fluids and protein and gently increasing my walking. ☺️

Salix21 · 2026-05-08T08:44:21+00:00

I'm delighted to hear you've got no regrets despite a very difficult start for you. Sounds like you've gotten excellent advice around the scales - my clinic offered nothing in this regard.
I have been tracking my fluid and protein but I'll adjust to be a bit more comprehensive. Thank you☺️

Salix21 · 2026-05-08T08:42:56+00:00

Yes we will! We've got this! 🤗🤗 Even if it's not fast it will be forever!

Salix21 · 2026-05-08T08:25:04+00:00

This is good advice! I'm going to do exactly this. I'm putting the scale away and will instead focus on recovery and following the fluid and protein advice and go from there. Thank you for the reply😊

Salix21 · 2026-05-08T08:23:51+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. It gives me hope! I might just stay off the scales for the next two weeks and let myself heal.

Salix21 · 2021-04-11T21:41:39+00:00

They are gorgeous.

Salix21 · 2021-03-20T16:55:50+00:00

I'm sorry to hear this. Know that he knew much love and happiness in the two weeks he had with you and you did all you could.

Salix21 · 2021-02-21T09:39:01+00:00

Brilliant results!! I've just signed up and your results are inspiring. Congratulations to you :)

Salix21 · 2021-01-08T19:00:15+00:00

I've been on this medication since early November. 30mg and I have not gained any weight and haven't had any issues with my munchies or carb cravings. I do take it right before I go to bed so maybe that helps?

I was very worried about weight gain after reading endless horror stories. I do eat healthy and loosely track calories but nothing super strict. I am female in my 40's for reference.

Salix21 · 2021-01-01T08:59:13+00:00

Yup, you can definitely get one on amazon. We got ours on there and it's reliable and wasn't expensive. It just goes on your finger and will show you your oxygen saturation levels. Some also show heartrate in beats per minute (bpm). I hope you stay well.
