My surgeon says four weeks.

Congrats on a successful surgery.

NoOrganic: That didn't hurt? You must be a brave lady, I would be terrified to put anything in my tummy.

My pre-op diet is two protein shakes + crystal light or water! I could barely stand myself the first two days I was so grumpy.

I was wondering how you guys were doing. So glad to hear you're doing okay - best wishes for a speedy recovery!!

Vixynne: You said it beautifully!!! I completely empathize with people like Kelly (as I am one of them) and your post said it so well so thank you!

I'm curious about this too. What's it from? Does it happen even after six or twelve months?

No, but how did you get it? What irritates your skin?

Have someone hide the scale.

Congratulations on making the decision to change. I hope everything goes well and you have a quick recovery.

The elliptical is my fav, I wonder if I could talk my husband into purchasing our own? Congratulations on all you hard work!

Congratulations!! So exciting. I hope everything goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

Thank you for being brave enough to share how you're feeling - I think it's a good sign!! I would speak with your doctor to see where you should turn next. I wish you all the best.

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well! My surgery is on 05/06, and I feel like I hear a lot of people saying they feel nauseous for a few months, it's making me nervous! Do you feel like you're drinking enough and can you get you vitamins? I hope you're feeling better soon - it's gotta be rough!

It sounds like you're off to a great start! I hope things continue to go well.

Wow, that's so exciting - congratulations - hope everything goes well!!! How are you feeling?

Congrats, it sounds like you're off the a great start. Keep up the great work and keep us posted.

Good luck, hope all goes well and you have a speedy recovery! i go in may 6!

that pre-op diet dosen't sound too harsh. i can only have 2 protein shakes & broth. i already miss real food! Enjoy that salad for me to please!

Good Lord, I hope not!!! I'm in the same boat as you. This pre-op diet is way harder than I thought it was going to be. If it's like this after the surgery, I'm in major trouble! I hope we have a better day of it tomorrow. Good luck.

I'm with you! I started my pre-op liquid diet today too. It's now 6:30p.m. and getting pretty hungry. I'll be going to bed very early tonight. I hope everyone has a better day of it Tuesday.

Wow, congratulations. It's great to know you can go out again and be social. I'll be sleeved on 05/06 and I have a party at the end of May so I hope I can be/act normal there.

My doctor said I can not lift anything over ten pounds for 4 weeks.

My surgeon does a 32 but he said he does not sew it tight around to limit the risk of a leak. Cool picture of the sizes too.

Wow, I'm so sorry you're having a difficult experience! I hope your surgery goes well and you make a quick recovery and a relief of troublesome symptoms!
