I have heard it takes a week or 2 on liquid diet after surgery and 2 weeks after that purred food? I just wonder if this seems turn for others or if not what did you doctor tell you... Thanks for all comments in advance!

I totally agree! There is alot that do judge you! I wish it wasn't this away. But there is some that understand and want what makes you happy and those people are who we need in are life!

I want to know if anyone that has had this surgery already had a problem with telling others like family/friends that you have decided to do so? If you did tell others did it seem to help? Or did it make it seem worse like you wish you never told them at all. Thanks so much for any feedback on this matter! :-)

That is so true! Love this and on your comments you have said about this topic Thanks!

yeah thats probably what will happen to me also. Just my husband and kids know and 2 good friends! thanks for your comment!

Thank you so much! This has helped me to know end! You sound alot like me! This has made me smile! And it makes makes me even more excited about this surgery coming up!

I was just wondering if there are things that anyone just can not tolerate since there surgery to eat. I have heard from a couple people that apples is one thing they wish they could have but cant anymore. I would really like some input on this since I have not had my surgery yet... It has been on my mind some lately. Thanks ahead of time for all that respond

Yes i like both of those things as well i guess i will have to see how things go ... Thanks for your help!

Boat ..Congrats on 32 pounds! i will be happy to get to that point one day And nikiw u are alot like me I don't do sugar as it is now so hopefully it will be easy for me after surgery. Thanks for your comments I wish u all continued success!

All Of your comments have help me so much. I Thank everyone of you for telling me your stories and what it has helped you or maybe not in some cases... My first appointment for all this was Aug 17th 2012 and I haven't told hardly anyone at all so right now this is all I have to go to for support! I think this might be they only thing keeping me from having a nervous break down. I thank you all so much this means alot to me, This has been on my mind for a very long time, Part of me wants to tell more people just for some support, but I don't think I will have it, with my family. I do also live with skinny people and my husband is the only one that knows in this house and he don't even want to talk about it. I want to show him all the wonderful stories and process people have made and he just wants to shut down or just says ... yeah yeah that's nice. I am just a bit down I guess. Thanks again to all of you! Have a Wonderful Day!

That is great you can do that doreen I wish I felt like I could.. I would actually love that feeling but I have told one friend and my husband and thats it.. My husband said this put alot of pressure on him and he wants me to tell others at least in my family. I am just not comfortable doing so. I don't know if in time I will after surgery but dont think so. Thanks for the feedback to you all means alot to me

Good question! I have wondered the same thing... I kind of put that as my status earlier this evening on my profile. I hope you find answers ...

I have heard of bread being a issue with others in my support group as well...Which I don't eat much bread to begin with, so I am hoping this will not be a issue for me, if I do have alittle after surgery is over. Congrats to all of you for all your hard work what pics I have seen of you guys have been amazing! Gives me alot of hope!

Thank you all so much for your help...! This has helped me out . :-) I need all the help and support I can get right now. I am getting quiet nervous and anixous as my surgery is not far away... :-)
