I was also allowed at a month out. I adore grilled oysters. Seafood is now the bulk of my diet. Calamari is the only thing that I can't eat. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

Walking was immediate, but the Dr. said to wait six weeks for anything more strenuous to prevent hernias or tears. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

If you're in a state where it's legal, there are some excellent cannabis topicals. They do not get you high at all. It's just a lotion. They do a great job at controlling muscle and joint pain. I use it for my bad knee after I work out, and it's a Godsend. If you are comfortable going that route, make sure to get a good brand, one made from bud, not trim. In Oregon, a decent cream runs $25- $45 for a jar which lasts me months. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I do and always have. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I could have easily. I was more tired than usual, but not anything a short nap couldn't mend. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

Watch Fat Doctors on YouTube. I like it better (though there are no current episodes). It shows a lot more about the actual surgery. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I spotted for six weeks after surgery. Dr. says it's the estrogen stored in the fat cells being released. I haven't had a dryness problem, but I'd think the estrogen is the likely culprit as well. If it is, the father you go, the more your body bounces back to normal. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I'd never use it. No one knows about my surgery and while is never deny it, I'm not advertising it either. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I had a stupendously easy surgery, but there is no way I could have driven two hours the day after surgery and then socialized for hours more. I was sore and exhausted. And my bladder didn't function right after so I had a catheter. Can you compromise and come a day early to visit? You'll be much better company. If not, take an Uber. Don't even think about compromising your recovery. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

It's the hormones from weight loss. I spotted for two months after surgery (I also have an IUD). Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

Biotine toothpaste and mouthwash are lifesavers... Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

It depends. I had no trouble gulping Water after five days. Others I know sip for years. I suspect most people are somewhere in between. However, you have months to recover before it gets hot again. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

Wow. What a story. I am sorry you're having to deal with this, but thank you for sharing. Nurses do make awful patients. My sister the RN ignored a (benign) tumor until it nearly killed her. Mom found her unconscious in a pool of blood. It must be a nurse thing ???? Take care of yourself and keep is updated. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

After approval, I was scheduled in two weeks. It's all up to the surgeon. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I constantly wallow in guilt and shame about my weight. It bothered my mom so much, my earliest memories are all about my weight. When I was four or five, she kept a scale in the kitchen to weigh me before and after every meal. She called me Miss Piggy and wouldn't allow me the same foods my siblings got. Honestly, it was a self fulfilling prophecy. I actually was normal weight until middle school when the pounds began to pile on. I was tremendously unhappy as a teen. I don't look in mirrors, don't take pictures. Even now that I've lost the 60 pounds, I am still ashamed of the way I look. I am a successful professional, a great mother, and active in two charities, but when I think about myself, I am just fat. Two weeks ago was the first time my husband's workmates ever met me, because I was too ashamed to be seen before that. Yep. I know I sound like a total loon, but for me fat has always been synonymous with failure. I'm working on it though. One day, I will learn to love my appearance.

TJ'S bruschetta was a staple during soft foods. They have single serving brie packages that I have to fight the kids for. Their fresh edemame is wonderful. I drink the kefir because it's significantly higher in Probiotics than yogurt. Their roasted seaweed is a delicious, low calorie, savory snack. And I adore their riced cauliflower. Their creamy tomato Soup got me through liquids. I also buy my sublingual B12 there. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I made little rolls with smoked salmon, brie, and fresh tarragon. It's soft and delicious. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

In mine, the Dr. I met with talked about my exercise experience, my knee problems, and then we discussed an exercise plan that would take into account my physical issues and that is would actually follow. It was probably the most helpful of my preop sessions. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

I had surgery Wednesday and was back at work on Monday. I have a very sedentary desk job, though. It was three weeks before I really felt good. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

You need to ask your surgical team. It would have been fine on my plan, but every plan is different, and your need to follow your doctor's recommendations. You want to be sure they have no surprises when they cut you open or afterwards. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

Totally normal. I was able to drink without issue by day 4. By two weeks, I could gulp Water, drinking as much as I want. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App
