This varies so much from person to person. I could have climbed stairs and I'd have done ANYTHING to be in my own bed but I see a lot of people on here that sleep in their recliners post-op....I wanted my bed, my pillows, my everything. I hated sleeping (or trying to) in that hospital bed and would have done anything shy of murder to get back in my own!!! You'll probably be okay but you might want a pillow and blanket downstairs just in case you're having a rough time. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

There's really nothing you can do but put on the big girl panties and keep rolling with it. You've just got to push through. It TOTALLY sucks, usually the second week is less hellish than the first, but as miserable as it is, know it's all for an amazing cause!!! It's worth it!!!! Just keep on, keeping on, try not to bite anyone's head off and it'll be here before ya know it!!! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

I went home same day as my removal. I had a slip with just early erosion though so you may have a completely different experience. I will say that as soon as I woke up from surgery all the discomfort I'd had with my band was totally gone. It was like magic good luck!!!

It is exactly what you said. It's 43 pounds and it's freaking amazing. You've lost a 5 year old in 2 months.

My doc says around 7 weeks. Was possibly the best day of my life HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

Really it's very individual. My doc says no sugar, honey, etc but I had hot tea with a little honey when I was sick this summer and had no problem (and I'm a dumper). Now if I'd dumped half a cup of honey in the tea I'd have been sick as a dog. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

Love this!!!! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

If you find a good one please share, so far I've found them all nasty. What I really need is a taste-less Protein...someone work on that for us!!! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

I could have done it. I would have been exhausted and slept on the way down and back but I could have done it. Honestly. Until you're at that point. I don't think you can predict how you'll be feeling and if you're physically capable if going or not. Perhaps you'll wake up that morning feeling great and want to try, but I don't think you can commit to going at this point :/ sorry this is so tough, hope you find peace with your decision.

You can do it on a mobile but you actually have to log in to the web site. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

If it's okay with your doc then go for it. Watch bananas though. Pretty high sugar content, I dump off them if I'm not careful. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

The last 10 pounds...I've gone from a 38DDD to a 38 D....guess those 10 pounds were all boob :/

So at three months my only food restrictions were to avoid high fat foods or foods high in simple carbs and avoid processed foods. I am supposed to eat 4 meals a day, 20 grams of Protein per meal. And 15-20 grams of carbs per meal. 800-1000 calories per day. My docs break down is 3 oz meat plus a veg, fruit, or grain for each meal. So, that what I'm SUPPOSED to do hope it helps.

welcome to the land of nasty protein!!! Good luck!!! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

It's like REAL food when you're on purée. My son (8 at the time) would steal it when I made it. eventually I started makin the ricotta bake for me and boiling spaghetti noodles for him to eat with it, made everyone happy.

Courtesy of eggface. Make sure you do it in the oven, you want it crusty and bubbly!

Depends on your doc, not an issue with mine.

I'm 7 months, was allowed to eat them at 6 or 7 weeks (I probably waited til 3 months for rice, it killed me with my lap bamd and I was scared of it!!!) Don't eat much at 1 time but have no issue with either. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

I can eat brown rice and noodles. Haven't tried white rice. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198
