How long standstill? From my experience protein is very important...

Just try liquids only for now low calories plz

Yea Aussie here my surgeon had no issues with coffee or tea in general

Shakes everyday 14 days

Sleepwalking

Sleeping a lot post surgery. Some pain in belly area few days.

Saw surgeon about 3 weeks out he said light weights. Light cardio. Is wait 6 weeks to be safe

Okay it is definitely a learning process.. I have bought a nice multi cooker that does slow cooking and pressure cooking which will make any meat soft and tender 🙂 thanks for your tips!

It was good quality chicken burger patty...but maybe it is too dry or solid

At 29bmi you're not in any way high risk so the thought is you wouldn't have a lot to lose and would benefit from trying it the traditional way or at least try medication before any invasive surgery...... This surgery was created as a last resort for the obese or morbidly obese... Maybe if you were self pay it may be a different story....

I feel starting liquids preop definitely helped me post op because most ppl are on liquids directly after surgery anyway... I'm 6.5 weeks out and still doing good mostly on shakes and that keeps me satisfied. Do yoghurt and hummus at times. Have tried a few solid things this week and wasn't a pleasant feeling so I'm fine sticking to shakes mostly and happy. I feel there's no reason to rush into solid and real meals because that is when calorie counting becomes even more stringent...

Follow your Dr

Yep one of my nurses in hospital said one lady had bypass then ate pizza few days later.. Was back in hospital for 2 months to fix what she messed up!!!!!

Finally hit my first major goal. 100lbs gone in 100 days Feeling great 👍 Feeling confident. from 322lbs to 222lbs my next goal is 200lbs then see how I look and feel might even get to 190 yet 😀 Thank you everyone.

I paid my gap 2 weeks before surgery but insurance covered most of the costs..

Before and after. Still got 20-30lbs to go...

6 weeks out still only around 500kcal a day...

High protein diet causes dry mouth even dry lips. early on I had to use lip gloss as my lips got so bad.

Started my journey at 43.9 bmi Currently just made it into the overweight category at 29.9 after 15 weeks But I feel bmi is a vague scale based on what my doctor and dietitian says for my ideal weight I may not even get into normal bmi. currently at 220 my ideal goal is 190 which is 25.7 so it's weird...

Cheers

Thank you all for your kind words.

It took me a few days before my bowels did anything and even then it was only liquid for the first like 2 weeks.lol.
