Pain with surgery, what can I expect?
Another thing your not going to feel like it but WALK. My doctor had me walking about 3 hrs after I woke up. Not like a marathon but down the hall and back. I held a pillow to my stomach and that really helped. I had a pain pump but really didn't use it much because it made me itch

I had that as well and I didn't feel any worse. I use to drink water and get horrible heartburn but with that fixed I no longer get heartburn!

Eating too much?

My hubby the garbage disposal
Honestly I sat the family down and said we can't have junk in the house for a while. They agreed but then I caught them sneaking it in and hiding it. To honest after surgery I don't even crave it anymore. I went through a drive thru because my 9 yr old claimed if he didn't eat right then he would die. Ya the burger and fries smelled really good but I didn't want it!

All of my December sleevers...
That just shows every surgeon is different mine wants 800-900 daily which is hard but when I was only getting 400-600 I would get light headed a lot. What's funny to me is before dec I could eat 3000 calories a day and not blink now I fight for 700! I love this new life

I removed all scales from my home before surgery. I weigh at doctors appointments only. I don't want to be a slave to the scale.

I'm 3 months out and eating 3 to 4 oz 4 times a day. I consume around 600-800 calories which I find works great for me but I'm just wondering if my oz are correct

I'm 3 months out. I'm eating 3 to 4 oz about 4 times a day. I stop when I feel full. How much is everyone else eating? My biggest fear is that my stomach will stretch!
