Typically, most seem to recommend that one can drive once one has been off of narcotic pain relievers for a day or two. I didn't drive much the first week or so as my wife was around and she liked to play "mother", but I drove the couple hours to the 10 day follow up appointment without any issue (she doesn't do mornings well!)

hey guys! i was just reading through my booklet from the hospital and it says that they recommend no driving until you’ve had your post-op appointment which is 7-10 days after surgery. now that should be fine and i’ll follow whatever they tell me to, but i’ve never heard this before so i’m just wondering what the general consensus on this is? I’m only taking a week off of work (I nanny, so i’m not really stressed about “going back to work” since it’s easy and i don’t do much, but still?)

Hello everyone, I completed my 6 months started my liquid diet, I will be on it for 28 days, not sure how I'm going to get through this. The waiting game is hard approved or not approve. On the bright side I loss 22lbs in 4 days! It's all water weight. I'm starting to feel weak I'm taking my vitamins. I'm so hungry Im getting 2-3 shakes a day sugar free jello etc and a gallon of liquids. Have or anyone doing liquids for 3 weeks or more? Best wishes to everyone as we go through this phase of our weight loss journey My highest weight 405 Goal weight 160 Happy weight loss! Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

My one-month pre-op diet is very similar to this. The only difference is I can have fruit or veggies with the protein shakes.

Look at peoples tickers or info on the side - that should give you some ideas I lost all of the excess weight in about 6 months. On the last 15 lbs to goal

Day 1 on my 7 day liquid and I’m STARVING! Helpful to see comments saying it gets better!

Thanks, Matt! I thought I was losing slowly, but I'm way ahead on their curve! Yeah, me!

That’s amazing! All of you have lost a lot. I guess the important part is that the number on the scale keeps going down, not how fast it takes. Fingers crossed!!

It's not our place to be judgmental. Did you like speculation and comments of others about your obesity when you were larger? Give the public figures and celebs a break.

I have an obnoxious gossipy aunt who loves to milk people for this kinda crap so she can spin it and spread it....so I don't mind having some fun with her. I just tell her outrageously creative lies. She isn't interested in anything factual. She doesn't really care or want to empathize. She wants tabloid entertainment for neighborhood publication.....so I let her have some.
