Oh man, this thread has taken a terrifying turn! Alka seltzer! Oh man... According to my discharge instructions, soft fish chewed to a pureed consistency would begin at 3 weeks. It seems my plan advances more quickly than most do too.
Take a deep breath. It is a thing, because it IS A THING! I have a stall about every 3 weeks. Frustrates the heck out of me.
But eventually they break- Mine last 7-10 days. and then I move on like gang busters. Just stick to the plan and keep chugging Water as you can.
You are in good company.
IMO (and my surgical team) it's up to you. If you feel ready, go for it. I'd start light and progress from there. I was on the treadmill the second day I was home from the hospital. Good luck!
Im going in on the 27th. Im a big thick guy, 297 lbs decent muscle. Part of the mental game for me is not being a big guy any longer..Im so scared of losing all my muscle...Were you able to retain your muscular strength?
I'm 2 days before you. 2/13. I'm not nervous I just want it over with because I'm on day 2 of the 2-week pre-op liquid diet & I'm tired as hell & hungry.
Good luck to us! Our time is almost here.
Height 5'0"
