Christmas Party what to eat?
hildaruiz29 replied to Threetimesacharm's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had the same problem during our dinner with friends in Thanksgiving. I took my water with me. The people around me were so focus on eating their own food and talk that they didn't realize I ate only 4 grapes and tiny peace of turkey.

Recovery + Time Off Work
hildaruiz29 replied to Janie80's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I took two weeks, but not heavy lifting. All depend on your activity work. After 5 days I felt great to work but wait one more week to rest. -

Bowel Movements post surgery - not just the first one
hildaruiz29 replied to Originalityplus's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
