I went back to work after four weeks and still had a little pain when I sneezed. Please don't rush your recovery. This is major surgery. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I totally understand where you are coming from. No I was not hungry either but like you said-- I somewhat mourned the act of eating like a normal person . For me it did not last long. Came and went. I could barely get the food I was supposed to eat down let alone what they were eating. However my husband like yours did on a few occasions stop for fast food. I didn't want it though... I gorged on that crap all pre op and I was beyond sick of it but I felt bad for him and the kids eating it because I know its garbage. I asked him not to feed it to my kids and gave him alternative places to go for fast food like Panera bread, subway or boston market. He agreed and honored my request and we are all now eating healthier. My 12 year old daughter has lost almost 15 lbs since my surgery and its a testament to leading by example. She now see's that she can do it and we're hoping for and working toward a total of 50lbs lost by the end of the school year or at least by my surgiversary. I'm hoping to be able to take her on a trip to celebrate our success!!!! That's awesome with your daughter! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I've had it. Maybe 8 ounces in a day. It does not make me sick. Remember that a full packet of crystal light is 10 calories. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

JosieJ- We are in similar situations. It is depressing not seeing the scale move much. I'm 2.5 months out and lost 12 pre surgery and 23 since surgery. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

How long did it take you to get some relief with the Colace? I took some today and really want it to kick in soon lol. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Well I had finally gotten it out before I took the Colace so that was a relief. I took the Colace to prevent further constipation and so far it is working.You still take it daily or how often? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I still take it daily. I'm afraid to stop.I don't blame ya at all. I've never been constipated in my life either and today and last night has been the worst part of this whole surgery so far for me.

You better take it easy and do things in your own time. I went out walking a little to quick. I realized I did not need to compare my recovery to anyone else and listen to my body. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App
