how long after surgery did you go back to work or travel?
shasha1068 replied to BKLYNgal87's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery on Friday and was back to work that Monday. I have a desk job though, so that may have to be adjusted to your line of work. Good luck to you -
That's over 1 pound a day. That's great! I would love to see that but afraid it isn't happening over here.

I'm doing the same thing. Weight is at a stand still already. Trying not to get discouraged. I'm eating right and drinking the water. I think maybe our bodies are playing catch up trying to figure out how we misplaced our stomach, when it has been in the same place our entire life then in a matter of minutes.......gone! haha Happy adjusting, I can't wait! My tummy area is still sore but very manageable now. I will try to start exercising soon.

Great job everyone! I think as long as your urine isn't dark yellow that you'll be fine. Mine seems to be a light yellow, very pale but not dark at all. I feel fine also, so I think you need to take that into consideration. I lost 4.5 pounds since the surgery on March 8. I hope that is good because I don't remember ever losing that much before in a week.

Alanah, I would take off that much too if I had the time off. I think it's wonderful you can relax and heal slowly. I'm scared to buy clothes yet, I don't know what size I'll be. If I lose about 50 pounds,I have a whole closet full of stuff. Ha ha. Are you guys weighing once a week or how is everyone doing that? Just curious. I'm going to weigh every Friday morning like I usually do. That's tomorrow, can't wait!

I only did clear liquids the day after the surgery. Day 2 I had some broth and i had some cream of chicken, just made sure there was no chunks in it. I've since had tomato soup which i doctored up with some basil and a touch of pepper. I also added a scoop of unflavored protein powder to the soup to give me some of the proteins that are required. I love cappachinos and I have found that if I take some vanilla protein and add it to some unsweetened almond milk and mix in a tsp of instant decaf folgers I have a cappachino that is delicious. Just make sure not to get it too hot or the protein will clump. It's great cold too! Just a few suggestions that have really helped me not feel so deprived.

I feel even better than I did yesterday! I guess everyone is different. I do have a high pain tolerance and I also work at a desk. I'm not driving just yet, my co worker is picking me up and bringing me home this week. I just want to save my vaca days for some summer fun in the sun! Are you feeling better today missmarie124?

I had my sleeve surgery March 8, 2013. I am back at work today with a pillow in front and back of me. I'm having trouble getting my liquids in as I'm sure you all are. You can definitely feel when it's time to stop. I look forward to the next few weeks to be gone and I can concentrate on my weightloss instead of dehydration.
