hi all, i’ve been following this thread since pre op to gain insight on what may be realistically in store for me and thought i’d give my update for anyone else who stumbles upon this thread
im 5’4 and at my heaviest weighed 207. i was asked to drop to 205 by surgery date. i went in day of weighing 204. was not required to do a liquid diet at any point in time pre op. i am now 10 days post op and i’ve dropped 20 lbs (currently weigh 184). i also woke to a lot of phlegm for the first like 5 days which caused a lot of coughing and trying to get it out of my system so it caused a lot of stress to the biggest incision which lead to a LOT of pain and i want to give my body time to heal properly so i have not done any walking or working out. light chores around the house or a shower and i am absolutely beat, i don’t see how anyone could have the energy. but i plan to start light walks next week when i’m eating in phase 3.
