Wow I was told that it took a month to be in your system..not on depo anymore though...my primary wouldnt even let me consider this surgery on depo since the risk of weight gain. I'm on mirena now

28lbs but I'm losing less and less each week.

How much did you lose your first week and 1/2? A lot of people have a stall after losing a bunch. I was sleeved on may 23rd so we r close

Dr said I am losing at the rate of a bypass patient... is this good or bad? He has a very dry sense of humor and talks very monotone so i couldnt tell... I didn't ask because I felt awkward asking.

I had sex after 4 days...nothing too crazy in the beginning though...I'm almost at the 3 week mark and we have had sex quite a few times after and I'm still alive. You will be fine.

Is there a dr on call you can call to ask...I dont know one way or the other

36lbs in 6 days? Or is this including pre op...either way that's awesome!

Oh haha sorry

Everyone always says that the surgery would be rescheduled but what about those of us who had no preop diet?... we all lived

Ive noticed my fingers get smaller when its colder so ring gets looser and they get bigger when its warmer. Did you try putting your hand near the ac or soaking in ice cold water...just a thought

When I had my tonsilectomy I had a complication about a week and 1/2 later where my incisions started to bleed. Drove myself to the hospital and fiance didnt get there til after they put me under so they put surgical tape around my ring because I had no one to hold it...maybe they can do that

I hope its not me because I can't think of a song that would go for me...

but if you make the necessary precautions you can prevent scaring all together. One of my incisions (above the belly button) is all the way healed completely and you can no longer see it. And I'm only 2.5 weeks out.

I had no pre op diet so I ate to my hearts content the days before surgery...I probably ate 1600-1800 calories per day which is a lot for me...I had no issues with surgery and there are many others like me who also do no preop diet...you will be fine.

I was also 5/23 and we are only 2.5 weeks out not 4 weeks out...I'm only eating about 300/400 calories per day...is this not normal?

Thanks for the reassurance. I totally agree with everything you wrote.

Since these are grouped into liquid category do I have to wait a half hour before drinking water after?

I really wasnt trying to offend anyone with my posts...I know you are the real deal just not everyone is.

Its been going great. ..only weighing once a week so I dont know if I changed since Thursday. But feels good to be eating some soft foods like eggs, tuna salad, etc. You look great!
