I chew my vities just before taking my meds, then I wait about 20 minutes for my shake, I am 3 weeks post op on Tuesday

I am 3 weeks post op, I took a week and a half off work and when I went back, however, I am a secretary and do not do any lifting, after my time off I started my exercise again and try to get in my 3 miles a day walking, that is the greatest feeling to walk and feel so good after. Just dont ask about my food intake....

They will give you something, just rest well and take in the experience.I went for a walk and a potty break 1 hr after I got in my room. and, when they tell you walking is good for the gas, that is so true,I walked and walked and it helped so much, every time I was uncomfortable we went for a walk in the halls, the nurse kept looking for me but knew he could find me out and about, stay strong and let it happen. The more you move the better you will feel post op, I never used the hard drugs for pain after that first day, the most pain I had was from the gas but the cuts never hurt me. The hard part is anxiety is always about what could happen so all you have to do is think happy thoughts and take you meds if you need to. I had weird dreams after the surgery too so be prepared and just let go and let God. btw don't be surprised when you look down at your belly and its like a balloon gas gas gas

My husband never EVER would have hurt me with the words your husband uses, maybe you need to drop 180 pounds of unsupportive man. My husband loved me thin, FAT, OBESE and will love me thin again, because it is me he loves not my weight, I hope he comes around but I also hope you make the right choice for you and what will make YOU happy, lots of love and I I pray for you to make the right decision for yourself, support is a big deal because this surgery is a very big deal. Good luck.

I'm reading other posts and trying to find the normal but everyone is soo different. I have trouble with protein and what I liked yesterday, I hate today, I hope something changes because now I cant even turn to my friend "food" because it makes me sick, I hate to look at, smell or even think about it now.... uh oh.

I have been having trouble too, I was told to stay away from the scale because weighing yourself every day willmake you crazy. I had surgery the 23rd of Feb. and lost 20 pounds super fast but then, I stopped losing and have been the same for a week. I eat about 500 calories a day and feel it should be shedding so fast, look at other posts, I think we may be normal... dang it! hang in there, Im trying too. Just dont want to regret too much.

Im having a lot of trouble too, i really thought I was prepared and I started great but now ugh, I wish I never had to eat or drink again,
