It will differ for each person...there is no way to tell how you will respond as an individual. That said...I can speak to my experience.... The only time when I experienced anything other than mild discomfort was bedtime the first night after surgery...it was a little hard to get comfortable. Had a pain shot and was out like a light. I was pretty unstoppable. Woke up from surgery and wanted to start walking. Got myself out of bed with no problems...surprised the nurses, and just kept going. Day after surgery, I felt very much like myself, and went home that night. Incision pain was pinchy for about 3-4 days. I'm two weeks out and could easily do crunches or a rowing machine, but I'm being good and just walking 7 miles a day instead. The only thing that really slowed me down was a lack of calories. Needed fuel to think, heal, move. Once I got eating a little more, I felt terrific.

The first and last love is to love yourself! Never in a million years did I ever picture myself wearing such dress. I loved it and how I felt in it. Amazing feeling to experience. When your confident in each step, it shows and it attracts so many good things. One of the most memorable days of my life [emoji813]️

Beginning weight Nov 13th: 243lbs As of Dec 20: 212lbs I feel I should be lighter. I'm extremely itchy from the weight loss. Hair loss is true. Why can't it fall off where I would want it too!!!! Lol Not getting enough water in so I downloaded an app water reminder. I like my protein ready made drinks too much, tastes like chocolate milk.... Might be over drinking those.... I'm a big coffee drinker. So extra sugar added, but I do use fat free half and half with a splash of international delight creamer in my 1st cup, then I put the protein in my cup to sip on that. Began with PCOS, not sure if that will give me a plateau effect. Two kids. 1 home to chase. Need to move more. I've been walking more with my dog but he is huge. Only comments from my husband & Mother they see my face is thinner, different. Like my ,"old smile lines".... Best, Halfsmile Sent from my 9024W using BariatricPal mobile app

This might be a dumb question but do I need to drink my protien shake spread out or can I drink it within an hour? I just want to make sure it's getting absorbed and all that.

I'm thinkin' I'll be a March gal. No date yet. Guess I will find out more about the process in January. As far as clothes go...I'm still wearing my magic pants and apparently my magic shirts too. LOL. Good thing I like baggy loose clothing right? I'm gonna continue to beat that horse til I they come down around my ankles while I'm marchin down the boulevard! Then I will donate them. I'll probably shot at Goodwill or something like that for a while...

Great job!! You look amazing!! Keep it going 🏋🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♀️ And congrats for your succes

Are you feeling any better? The dizziness is cause for concern, I'd call your surgeon's office.
