How long are you supposed to wear that thing? I just got home from the hospital. I asked how long and he said "I'll let you know."

That sounds indefinite.

I just came on here to send you a message asking how you are feeling? My surgeon said to wear it for 3 weeks, then after you can wear your own kind if you have them. Not sure if men wear shape wear or not. Lol I sure hope you are feeling ok! :)

I'm feeling pretty good. But hate not being able to stand up. And I can't tell how much of it is this binder, the surgery, or stiffness from being in this position so long. How long till you could stand up straight?

It was about a week before I could stand up strait. I used a walker and it helped a lot with the back strain.

You look amazing! I am really hoping I won't need plastics, but your posts/pictures have really helped me not dread it if it turns out they are needed! :)

How do i look at your gallery pictures? sorry im new and dont know my way around that good lol

You can look a the profile pics on a cell phone but not from the mobile app. You have to be on the full website. Then you just click on someone's avatar and you'll see their profile.

Yes under my picture there is a blue script writing that says view my profile. Once you are in my profile go to gallery. You should be able to see from there! :) good luck!

I started being able to stand up straight about day 3....where it didn't hurt but felt tight, however the doc said to keep walking that way till I saw him again on day 6 post op. so it gives your skin time to stretch out naturally instead of being pulled out.

Any pictures yet?

How did you even get a picture? Did you just take the binder completely off while sanding up?

Yeah. You can take it off every couple of hours so you can get some good deep breaths in. That's when I took mine.

      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.
