How soon after the surgery did yall start excusing, and did anyone get a trainer or did you do it on your own?

I started walking the day of surgery they walked me every 2 hours all night and the next day and told me to walk everyday...i walked a mile everyday for 2 weeks then i started walking 2 miles in week 3...after 3 weeks i had to go back to work now i only workout 2-3 days a week and i cant afford a trainer i just go to the gym

Wondering how many calories everyone eat daily. I have my calories set at 800 calories daily but I never reach it.

OMG I am a Grazer.... I think. I can eat all day. I am 5 weeks post op. I will eat and then feel full and about an hour later be hunger again. Literally my tummy feels empty. Help!!!!!!!

Perhaps you have acid. I felt that way early on and realized it was acid. Just tonight I was having my snack. I thought I was so hungry, then I realized that I had not taken my Prevacid. Now I feel the restriction and have no hunger. Now that the pill is working i feel satiated.

Hugs- hang in there. Let us know how things are going.

Perhaps it's acid. I thought I was starving tonight, only to realize I had not taken my Prevacid. Now I feel satiated. Are you on a med for acid reflux?

SweetCryss (hope I spelled correctly)

Perhaps you are having acid. I felt ravenous just tonight until I realized I had not had my Prevacid yet. It was later than I usually take it. Now I feel fine. Are you on anything for acid prevention?

Please Forgive the Repeats!

I had trouble posting, got two error messages. On the third try it went through.... Along with the two previous messages. :-) I was getting tired, but was determined to try to help, so I shortened my MSG. Blessings to all!

Hi, I have a question for post - op I'm having my surgery on 7/3/14 and I'm due to start my summer session in college. Do anyone think that would be a bad idea. I have heard of people going back to work in a week. I figured I took two weeks off work and my class is only 2 days a week so I can recuperate the rest of the time I'm not at work. A couple of family members been saying I'm doing to much and now I'm second guessing myself please give me an advise you can thanks

You will be totally fine. I had surgery on Wednesday and was in class Saturday. Just remember to get up and walk around if needed. Sitting up was annoying to me.

[Missviscious 24]

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I'm so nervous about getting back to class. My date is fast approaching and I'm a nervous wreck.

[woozybaby27 15]

in my opinion, you do it cold turkey. The first 3 days are rough with the 1st day being the worst. I'm day 11 no cheats so far and I'm fine. How many days do you have to do it?

I'm doing the preop phase for 2 week... Day One was yesterday; it wasn't bad.
