I can't believe that I'm down 50 pounds since surgery on 11/22/16. I'm down 62 since 8/3/16. Best decision ever! I feel so much better and I can't wait until I can see the difference in my body. However, my clothes do feel bigger and I can comfortably sleep on my stomach lol so wins there! I can't wait to continue this journey. Question: Does/has anyone experienced incision pain more than 3 months after surgery? Just curious as I joined a boot camp and things such as burpees cause pain in my incision site. Thanks!

My back was killing me for the first 5mths post op. I started seeing a chiropractor and he said that it had to do with the drastic change in body shape. Basically, your back had to reshape and conform to "a new you". Because you weren't carrying as much weight. It does get better. I was getting adjustments for 6 mths after my surgery. I am almost one year out and it's alot better. Good luck and congratulations and the weight loss.

@Jill_Me I never thought of that. It did strike me as odd that anyone would come home from major surgery and peel a orange and eat it.

Yes one big one ☝️ I did not do it a few years ago I'm only 37 lol ? I'm not going to lie u have ups and downs but deap down iv made the right decision for me ? 6 months is not long soon be here and all the nerves will kick in I was the same im a big softy ? But to be fair upto now it's not been a bad journey it's just like learning new tricks with vitamins liquid diets protein shakes but upto now I'm uses to it the best advice I would give is get up asoon as you can and safe to do so try get some liquids down you when your doctor says you can one big one is try and empty your bowls before surgery. And try and get of all pain relief about 4 days after if you can .and when your family cook when your on the liquid diet I just went out for abit out ov site out ov mind ? As long as you willing to change you can't fail good look let me no how your getting on with ur journey ? And if you need any information on my journey to help yours please ask ??

My surgeon told me not to eat rice, pasta,bread, or potatoes after surgery. He said it can stall weight loss or even make you gain. All surgeons are different though. Maybe ask your surgeon what he/she recommends. Did he give you a list of foods that are allowed?
