Don't get me wrong, I'm very proud of myself for having the guts to be sleeved, but I always hated any kind of comments about anyone's weight. I'm at goal. And after a long summer contracting Lyme, I'm actually in a position where I need to gain a few pounds (don't recommend this as a weight loss tool;) but have found that comments about my weight or anyone else's weight still makes me incredibly uncomfortable. Why would anyone think it's okay to ask what size I am, or how much I weigh? Just feels incredibly inappropriate and a total invasion of privacy.

Get one of those abdominal wraps (tight-to keep things from jiggling too much), and take a pain killer. The bumps are going to hurt, but bearable. Stairs will be fine. The pain comes in when you have to bend, but sounds like you have a good plan. Good luck!

I am from Manhattan but now live in the Bronx. Looking for any locals for support. I am still pre op. My date is June.26. I am very excited.

Thank you!

All such great ideas !! And I love cheese too!! I just started eating jerky - what a god send! I've been munching on Chex mix lately and I know I should be! I'm not really eating too much but I know I need to increase my protein!

After my RNY gastric bypass surgery, I found that softer foods such as chili and soups went down much easier than harder foods such as steak and chicken, so that is what I concentrated on. I have included some recipes at the end of the following article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

Congrats on your success!! You look great and happy😊

I'm 15 days out today. I am feeling pretty good. So things that helped me are the fact that I can get my fluids in really well. I credit that to the fact I bought 2 oz red solo cups and it reminded me to sip consistently. The other thing I did was walk. On 4 days out I began walking for 10 minutes every waking hour. Then on day 6 increased the time to 15 minutes every 2 hours. Day 10 - 20 minutes every 2 hours. I also rested in between because that promotes healing also.

I will pray for your speedy recovery. Get well soon
