  1. Take no less than 4 weeks! I was supposed to go back after 2 weeks however when I did my 2 week follow up he said energy will be a factor as your body adjusts. He made me take at least one more week for a total of 3 and I wish I had taken the advice and waited until 4 weeks min. I am community lias/therapist on road a lot! My energy at work is lacking and I'm still drained . 5 weeks post op and fluid and protein intake is good.
  2. I'm just getting into week three down 202 from 222 and I have been told already I am very excited you will get that no worries!

  8. Lol yeah I don't want my old stomach I just want to NOT FEEL every sensation imaginable when eating I want to simply know when it will all regulate to a normal feeling lol right now nothing feels normal or good lol
  9. Thanks all I have intake control and I'm not really hungry because I'm following my plan its the yucky stomach feeling that I hate so much at this point. I don't want to feel so yucky when eating but time will work it out. It sounds like 6 months is the turning point keeping positive is key

  11. Hello sleepers! I'm 12 days post op. I just want to know at what point did you start to feel like you had a normal stomach again. Today I'm obviously in regret stage I'm down 11lbs or more and I am been doing on for most part except that I hate hate the fact that I don't feel normal anymore.
