most people here will say "as soon as you're up for it."

just keep in mind that you should keep it simple and stay away from the rough stuff ;)

Of course you can ask and it often comes up here. It's a factor that has to be considered as well. :) My Dr told me when I felt up to it, to go for it.............I'm still waiting. :P Just kidding on the still waiting part. He did say to start out reasonably and not doing anything too crazy or strenuous. I've heard other sleevers saying that their Dr told them to wait a few weeks.

Do what your doctor says ... mine didn't say anything so day two in the hospital seemed like the perfect chance to make sure everything was still working correctly :-)

Most hospital based nurses agree that you should wait until you are out of the hospital. Beyond that, it's up to individual doctors' opinions which vary from "when you feel like it" to some weeks. Basically, it's down to being able to do things without distress - you probably don't want to be swinging from the rafters, but any positioning that accomplishes things in comfort is fine.

My NP was suprised at my two weeks when I asked that same question. Her response was "you mean you're not already?!?!"

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
