I know it is different for everyone... However I was wondering when people started to go out... Not back to work... But just out. The reason I asking is because I was sleeved august 27... Three days ago ..... I have a hair appointment .. Just a wash and blow dry... Should I cancel it or go. I feel pretty good. Just curious when everybody else started to venture out.

If you feel up to it, go for it! Just don't drive if you are still on any heavy pain meds.

I had my surgery on a Wednesday, went home on Thursday, and went to the mall on Friday. The more active you are (within reason), the better!

Wow! That is impressive !!

Keep the appointment because you need to feel good and look good too! I drove 2 days after sleeving and walked slowly in the grocery store. I was not on any pain meds. I felt wonderful. I walked in several stores about 5 days after surgery, walking slowly but feeling good. Listen to your body. Just do not lift or over do anything. Have fun!

Do u go alone or does someone take you? My hubs took me places bc when I started to get fatigue it hit me fast. But everyone is different. I felt like I could do anything but in actuality I had to be careful. .when I started to over do it my incisions started to tell me..just be careful. You will no. Have fun...get pampered! :)

      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.
