Hey girl. I'm interested. I am in pre-op also. So hopefully I can have my surgery sometime in june.I'm 5"1 295. So my surgeon still wants me to loose a good 5 to 10 pounds before surgery.

Hello I'm going to set my surgery date in a couple weeks. And I'm so exited. But I'm curious to know how much time did you guys need to take off work? Let me know.thanks.

Thanks. I'll try that.

What kind of protein shakes do you recommend?

Ok. thanks for the insight everyone. I guess to start off with I will take a good week off. And see how I feel after that.

Awwwww. Omg. I feel like I was reading about myself. I'm a 24 year old black female. 290 pounds. And my family is against it. But I've been overweight my entire life. And I have do much more living to do! I'm going to meet with my surgeon next month to schedule a date. I mean I could relate to everything you had in your letter. Especially the part where you talk about people always say you have a beautiful face for a big girl. Anyways I can go on and on. But good luck to you and I'm sure your family will have your back.

Thank you all for giving me an idea of the recovery stage.

Wow thats amazing. You had a fast recovery.

Yea I have a desk job also. But I haven't been there that long. And I don't know how there bout to react to taking the time off.
