I didn't buy any special plates. I did get a set of bariatric silverware on Amazon to help curb my "big bite" tendencies. I also bought an extra set of collapsible measuring cups to keep in my desk for when I to go back to work. Good luck today!

I have two boys 31/2 years old and 19 months old baby how long will it take for me to recover to be able to take care of my babies with no help :-( I am having a hard time with my support system

Tough call. I was definitely up and about right away after surgery. But its kinda like recovering from a c-section -- you aren't supposed to lift more than 10 lbs. When I got home, I had to pace myself, but still helped around the house with cooking and dishes. I fold laundry, but don't carry the laundry basket. Is your 19 month old in a toddler bed? Can you change them on the floor? Do you have any childcare options so you can rest?

[emoji120] praying for you that everything is fine have you take the Vitamins and Protein? How difficult and hard was after surgery ? Gas pain? Can we use the stairs after surgery is it really difficult to drink after surgery the amount of Water and protein that we need to drink? You don't have it answer all of these if you are not feeling well I just don't have any ody else to talk to and at this point I am worry that something may happen to me and what is gonna happen with my babies :-(

I had no issues with the stairs in my house, but I don't carry anything when I go up and down.

Surgery is tomorrow! I have a butt ton of laundry to do, and cleaning. And I’m still laying in bed. I’m so tired. This liquid diet is kicking my butt.

Good luck on your big day, KareBear! Eyes on the prize!

Hi I'm Kim surgery date June 10th is anyone having back pain around the middle to lower back on left hand side. It's uncomfortable to sit or stand to long.

Hi Siblings! I’m three days post-op and I’m still struggling with gas pain (especially when I lay down to sleep). I walk a lot when I’m awake; I make sure to do things for myself like grabbing my Soups, meds, and other things independently. My incisions are VERY itchy and a bit painful. I’ve had to stay with meds around the clock. My shoulders, back, and neck are very sore; I’ve been using a heating pad on those. I’m able to get in a little over 8 oz of liquid in an hour... going to bump it up a bit today and tomorrow, just to make sure I can meet my liquid and Protein goals. No nausea or vomiting, no serious hunger urge, and no feelings of regret 😊

While my date for this second try at surgery put me on July 1st, I’m still going to keep in touch with my June buddies. Creatine came down significantly. Cleared this time for sure.

Glad you are hanging in there. That first week really sucks. My surgical glue is finally starting to flake off -- I hear you on being itchy.

So glad you are doing great and are ready to go. You are always going to be a honorary June member, anyway.

Good luck to you, go get 'em!!!

Today is day 4 out of surgery. I am finally feeling up to doing things. The gas pain is going away, and I am on just Tylenol. Also, warm/hot liquids are my new friends!

They told me children’s liquid. It goes down a lot easier than the 1/2 Tylenol pills. I just got the Target brand. I calculated what would be equivalent to 1,000mg. I believe I am slightly under that total. I take it 4 times a day.
