Mine was April 5th and Im doing 3 10 min walks a day. My doctors wanted me doing that by the end of my first week. I started with walking around my house the first day home then worked my way to 1 10 min walk out side then the next day did 2 and so on. Still increasing it a little each day even by a few minutes. My doctor wants me getting in as close to 10,000 steps a day. Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. I will. I didnt even think of that because Im on a med for reflux. It just felt like hunger pains so I didnt even think it would be anything else. Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

Hi Angela! What kind of Cocoa Butter? Brand? They didn't tell me a specific brand but to just get a decent one. So I just made sure to buy a decent name brand one at the pharmacy. Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

I work in the medical field and did research and asked my colleagues. When you are approved start weight training, thats actually in my info that I got with the program. But Ive seen they recommend at leasr 3-6 months post-op before starting. Then a nurse I know who lost a significant amount of weight recommended cocoa butter. Its not a cure all but it helps especially your inner thighs, abdomen and arms. They said to make sure to use it everyday and to "learn to pamper yourself".

Thats good to know. Im on day 4 post op and on only Clear liquids and Protein shakes only. Ive only been allowed to add protein since yesterday and I am very hungry. I have really bad hunger pains and I wasnt sure if that was normal. In all my meetings they kept talking about how I wouldnt get as hungry because of the change in hormones so I was not expecting this. Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App
