I am at two weeks and not only did I stall, but I put on a pound since yesterday. Very scary!!! I have been eating more than 1000 calories for a few days (holidays) so I didn't expect to lose much if anything, but to gain a pound, I am feeling pretty scared.

My wife and I are now 10-days post op and everything is going very well with our recovery. Everyday we seem to learn something new about ourselves and how we are supposed to eat. We know about the importance of getting in the protein and water. Does anybody know how many calories we should have daily?

I can totally relate to you. I am only 10 days post op and everything is going really well. I went back to work this week and by the time the afternoon comes around, I am yawning all the time. I have a 2 1/2 year old and he keeps me busy when I get home. I sure hope my energy level will pick up too and get back to normal. Good luck to you and Merry Christmas! Mike

Thank all of you so much for replying to me. I feel much better today after reading all the posts. I am so excited. Only 13 more hours to go. I totally agree that 2012 will be our year!!! Best of luck to everyone!

The countdown is on. Two days until surgery. Two days until the beginning of the new me. My mind is playing tricks on me. Sometimes I am really excited and other times I question if I should go through with this. I guess this is normal. Has anybody else had this issue? Does anybody regret having the surgery?

Does anyone know if you are supposed to wait a certain amount of days before you fly after surgery? We are heading to Florida about 3 weeks after surgery. I figure it must be ok since people fly back from having surgery in Mexico? Thanks!
