During my work up for surgery when I was at the lab having blood drawn. There were two ladies there both had wls on the sleeve and one the bypass. They both said they lost weight but the one with sleeve said the first six months post op are hard she was 2 years out by then. The one with the bypass was 5 years out and still having issues. They helped me decide I thought I can handle 6 months but I don't want problems the rest of my life. That helped me, hope it helps you decide. Also make take the advice of your surgeon. I am only 2 1/2 weeks out right now and it is not bad except I am tired of liquids. but I see the surgeon tomorrow so its on to puree...yay me! but I am sure I made the right choice for me.

I had the same fears now I am almost 3 wks out and feel good. I also had a hernia but no additional pain or problems that I could tell. I actually am able to get the fluids down with no problem. I'm just tired of drinking my meals and looking forward to my doctor visit Friday to advance my diet. yay! I have learned to celebrate the little things:) I think you will be great and all these fears are normal when you are trying something new. Hang in there and best wishes to you

Thanks so much for the valuable information. I will try what I can and let you know what works. Thanks again

I am having the hardest time having 3 meals a day on the liquid diet. I can't decide what is a meal. I'm struggling with a lot of mental hunger and I am not sure what to do for it. Please help give me alternatives to over come the mind over matter.
