Welcome and congrats to you all I am 5 months post out and i am during great their are alot of great people on this site that is always willing to help, as far as the liquid diet goes I did not find that hard to do, I was surprise that I was not hungry as far as feeling normal it depends on your body but I can tell you I was up and burning rubber on my iv pole as soon as my surgery was completed and they said I could walk, honestly I believe that I could have went back to work after just 1 week of surgery my recovery has been great and the best thing that I could have done for myself please feel free to ask as many questions as you want we are all hear for you.

  7. Hi I am 5 months post opt tomorrow and I have held onto all of my clothes I wear them to work and I am drowning in them , I just wear a tighter belt until I buy new clothes, I dont want a lot of clothes with different sizes so I am holding on to everything until next year when I am 1 year post opt then I am treating myself to a new clothes but I did purchase some shirts since I went from a 3 x to a large shirt. and two pairs of skinny jeggings.

  14. Hi it depends on your insurance qualification as well as your doctors program, it took 9 months for me to have my procedure but that's because my doctor has a very long waiting list. Congrats on your choice to be healthy.

    Stressed

    Im so sorry that you are experiencing all of these challenges, I do hope things change for you soon, as your surgeon about your pan meds because mine was filled at the hospital before I left and they were even cheaper. Good luck my friend and perhaps your friend is getting insecure about your new you. Congrats on your choice in being healthy.
  19. Stalls are normal but as it was stated above you need to focus on your Protein, Water, food, and Vitamin intake, stay off of the scale the weight will come off, I have had several stalls an dI am almost 5 months post opt, as long as you are eating correctly you will be fined, remember to walk as well . Your body has gone through a major surgery and it needs time to heal. I now exercise 5 times per week although the scale may not moved down weekly you are still loosing inches. Only weight yourself once per week if you must. Congrats on your weight surgery and good luck my friend keep us posted.

    When to start exercising

    I agree with the above statements began with walking and wait until you are approved by your doctor because you do not want a set back or to pull anything, although you may feel better remember you just had major surgery and even if your incision sights may look completely heal your insides takes time to heal. I was only allowed to walk and it was not until my 6 week check up that I was clear to do additional exercise.

    Protein brand help

    Its all about ones taste buds i think muscle milk is thick and prefer premier you can go to walmart and but a 4 pack of premere and try it for yourself, but remember your tastebuds will change and although you may like one protein shake now it may change, it may be too sweat or to thick. Good luck.
