wannabeskinnyme 2 Posted May 14, 2013 I am going to have my surgery in 6 weeks they are telling me. I have a cruise that is already paid for. Its the beginning of October. I am wondering if 3 months is going to be long enough for me to recover and get going with everything. I really could use some of you to chime in and tell me how it was for you after 3 months post op Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicki0618 123 Posted May 14, 2013 I'm 10 weeks out and I'm totally fine! I can tolerate anything and eat anything (just smaller quantities). My energy levels are great!! Go for it!! 1 wannabeskinnyme reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wannabeskinnyme 2 Posted May 14, 2013 Thank you so much.... You all have set my mind at ease. I have been sitting here freaking out thinking i better call them and say never mind i will do it this fall. I really don't want to wait but i don't want to be sick and miserable on my trip. My cruise is Hawaii October 4th :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mokee 588 Posted May 14, 2013 You will be fine by then. I was released to all foods at 6 weeks out. So you will enjoy the food also. We are cruising around the hawaian islands in sep for our 45 anniversary. Am really looking forward to it. 1 wannabeskinnyme reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wannabeskinnyme 2 Posted May 15, 2013 What kind of food are you able to tolerate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cocosammy 8 Posted May 16, 2013 I am four weeks out today and feel great. I can eat anything and have never thrown up. I think the hardest part was just being tired afterwards. Not much pain. I hope you have a good time with your family on the cruise. Sounds like a lot of fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcn1970 239 Posted May 16, 2013 I am at 2.5 months and have lost 51 lbs. I can eat what I want and work out how I want. You shouldn't worry about it. Just follow the program to lessen your chances for complications. 1 wannabeskinnyme reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
