You will be okay. Just positive thoughts and follow the NUTS and MDs post-op instructions. Good luck..keep us posted

I am a side sleeper and did that when I came home. I just used a pillow to support my belly.

Ask your surgeon, maybe something happened in the past, that makes him more cautious .

It went well. I was told if I followed the pre- op diet to a T I wld have less complications. I had no nausea or vomiting. Very little pain, I took pain meds the day I came home and only 1/2 a tsp and that was the only time, other then two days this week. I over did it on the exercising. Think positive...

I tested positive and took 2 wks of the antibiotics. They were hard on my stomach. But he didn't have me retest. I had surgery on 8/29..

I found out today if I wake up later then my normal time I get a very painful empty feeling in my stomach and lots of burping If I do not get enough protein in the morning I become a total angry, nasty person. This caught me by surprise.. Wow that was very scary.... It took me several hours to recover. Thank god for the RTD protein drinks.. Has anyone else experienced any unusual out bursts.

Very noticeable loss

I was given a diet of 2 wks of high protein. Low fat and low carb. And wk before surgery 3 to 5 protein shakes and I cup of soup daily

I thought I was. 3 wks post op but actually only 2.3 wks ....oops. I guess It feels longer because I have been working from home since surgery. Going back on Monday.

I will continue to walk and wait to do other exercises involvolving my core area till I do not feel my inside area pulling from the sutures..thank you for info.

Yesterday evening I went for my walk and I decided to add some arm movements and also added some left to right hip (waist) movement. All day today I have had the worst pain ever on the area with the largest incision. ( sleeved 8/29) I had to take my lortab tonight. Extra strenghth tylenol did not help. I didn't have this much pain after I came home from hospital. ..I didn't even need pain meds after surgery. I think I aggravated the stitches and the muscles.

Current weight 204.4. Still stalled... But hopefully soon I will break this stall..... Great job everyone......keep it going down....

I am taking 3 weeks. So on the 17th I go back to work. I needed the time to introduce food back into my system.

Hi I was giving the oppurtunity to work from home. I let my partner work for me the 1st week and I have been waking up just like I was working Up at 6 and start working. I am glad because I was having trouble meeting my goals of Water and Protein. I think I finally getting there. I still get really fatigued and tryingto walk and push thru it. I have my post op tomorrow with nut and surgeon.

Wow you have done a great job. U inspire me.

Take very very small sips..your sleeve may still be very irritated.

Wow nice. U have a waist....great job...

Omg you are doing good. Is this your first stall? I didn't think my stall would come on the 8th day. I started at 229(7/2) and I am at 206.

How many days post op. I am only 10 days and I gained 2 lbs once I started full liquids and stalled x 2 days. I hope soon I break stall if not I guess I will continue proteins N fluids ...

I am so very glad I did it. Today I was feeling weak but I think its because I haven't meet my Protein and Fluid goals last couple of days. I am trying harder today. I did manage to go to olive garden and eat 2 oz of creamy Soup. Go to GNC to purchase Isopure and even walked into marshalls for about 20-30 minutes. I am working hard mentally and physically to overcome this weakness.
