I took 4 weeks off and I have a desk job with no lifting or physical work. I could have done fine at 3 weeks. I think you need the extra time to get used to your new eating. Like what your eating works or doesn't work. Also I did not tell anyone I was having WLS so I wanted to make sure I was fine when I went back. Good luck and best wishes for a wonderful experience..

I had a bad reaction to whey. I can only take non lactose. that is just me good luck you won't have a problem finding either one

I did not have any medical issues except being over weight.. Diabetes is big on my fathers side of the family and it scares me to death. I just lost my father last April due to complications and after watching his issues it scared me. I was sleeved on Dec 14th and am down 25 pounds!! I want to lose 60 so I'm almost half way there. I'm not going to lose it all in a month or two. It's going to take me several months to a year to meet my goal. I do not regret it at all..

My hubby made dinner last night because I worked late.. He made turkey burgers in the oven with low fat gravy.It was wonderful and not dry at all.. Sometimes the ground turkey gets to dry. We had it with some mashed potatoes.. I have found I have to have something on my meat to help it go down better.. Chicken I dip in low fat mayo for example. I'm almost 8 wks out and down 28 pounds. Everything tastes different now!! it's crazy.. tomorrow night we got a small steak to split for valentine day.. I won't eat but a bite or two but I'm looking forward to it. We have not had red meat in months.He does not have a weight problem but has changed his eating habits for me so it will be a treat for him too. Take care and you are not alone with your new taste buds!

I'm 7 weeks out and I fianally can drink fluid without any problems. I slowly worked my way up to where I am today.. Your body will tell you how much is to much and slow worked for me. Now, I drink an ice tea ( no sugar) from McD's in the morning (32 oz) and 1 - 20 oz Isopure ( with 40 grams of protein) during the work day and at least 3 bottle waters until about 8PM - I still sip the Ispoure because to much of that makes me sick due to the taste but I take it Slow

I bought 1 box from a co-workers daughter.. I'm proud of myself for not eating any!! I left them on the breakroon table at work and they were gone... I still supported the girls and myself at the same time

I'm 7 weeks out yesterday also!!! I'm down 25 pounds and my gol is 60 so we are doing good.. keep up the good work .. take care

Terrific!! You are going to do wonderful....

I'm almost 7 wks out and the first 2 weeks where rough.. it gets better and I never cared to see anyone eat around me. My mother came to help me at day 3 and see was worried to eat around me and it really did not bother me at all.. It's weird to not be hungry but now I do get hungry and when I eat I'm full very fast!! That is kind of a strange feeling also.

I'm almost 7 weeks out and am eating 3 oz total at eat meal. No steak at all for at least a few more months.. It's just to hard to digest now per my doctor.. You will know when it's time to stop and trust me you will not be hungry - Good Luck

I'm 6 weeks out and I get that sometimes but not alot.. It happened more earlier in my journey. I have a feeling it will fade as time goes by.. tell him I wish him great success !! We were sleeved almost at the same time.. take care

you sound like me!! same story.... I'm going to up my carbs to see if that helps me feel a little better.. I don't feel bad. just litte sluggish - thanks for your post

Get better Soon!!! You have beenn through so much already,,, I hope this starts your healing and recovery....

WOOOHOO - that is so great! Congrats I was sleeved on 12/14 and am down 25 pounds.. Some days I will be down more then it comes back so it's kind of confusing ... I know "they" say don't weigh everyday but it is so hard at this point not to. Let me know your progess and I will let you know mine!!! 2012 is going to be our year to SHINE!!!!
