When Did You Start To Really Notice?
Squisha replied to aaron1976's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
2months is when i really started to notice, my pants were falling off, shirts where huge. I am 4 months now and last night in the shower I almost lost my wedding ring which used to squeeze my finger it was so tight. -
i added melted low fat cheese to almost everything, it adds flavor and protein.

Squisha replied to MonicaR's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I showered Wednesday before leaving for the hospital and again Friday when I got home. I could have showered in the hospital but was scared to try with the IV and everything. And i was on liquids only in the hospital, Saturday morning i was allowed to start purees. -

Question About Food Timeline
Squisha replied to Mommy2three's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It depends on your Doctor and the information you were given, I left the hospital in the mushees phase, i know that my diet was a lot less strict than most others I have seen. -
I was told i could do anything except lifting weights as soon as it was confortable, no weights till 6 weeks out.
-
i was allowed to drink it as soon as i came home on full liquids.

Once you can eat normal food it gets soooo much easier. And once or 2 bites will fill you up and usually cure the craving.

Does Surgery Make You Look Older
Squisha replied to atlast1976's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think it depends on how much weight you lose and age. Just like the rest of the body you may have lose skin around your face. -
