Not to be gross.. Does anyone have lots of diarrhea 6 days after surgery? Is it unusual?
mattsbelly replied to birdie1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Totally normal. It should go away in few days. -
Anyone that is about to get this surgery. Please practice eating and drinking slowly. You will be sorry that you didn't. I didn't practice and have paid several times for eating to quick. You really need to practice when you are really hungry and really thirsty, when we tend to drink and eat fast.

You have to really make an effort to do this. I try chewing 25 times if it is a solid.

It takes a while to get used to. My nutritionist says to eat one meal over 20 minutes. Now that they look so small it sometimes seems hard to do.

When is it okay to drink beer again? Please don't lecture me on not drinking and how bad it is and blah blah blah. I'm not an alcoholic but I do like my beer occasionally. Thanks.

It gets easier after a few days. You will start to feel indifferent about food.

Question about no lifting after surgery
mattsbelly replied to VSG Tommy B's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't lift anything heavier than 5lbs. I've broken it often. It's not realistic. -
