I am 6 weeks out and I exercise about an hour a day 6 days a week. I feel great and I am not rigid about counting every calorie but I do carefully count my protein and rigid about my vitamin intake. I get 80-100g of protein per day and about 1,200 calories. Just start slow and try to increase each time. Just like everything else in this process, each day it gets easier! Good luck to you!

I started walking one week post op. I now do about 30 min on stair climber and 30 walking 6 days per week and I am about 4 1/2 weeks post op. I think this is more than they want me to do but I've worked my way up slow and I feel great. But, talk to your doctor and see what they will let you do. I was working out before surgery so they let me do more. Good luck!

It's never too late! Start slow and try to find something you enjoy. It may takes some experimenting but you WILL find your groove. Now you have a great tool to maximize your results. Good luck!

Amen to that!

A friend of mine went through the same thing and got the cutest wig! I couldn't believe how great it looked. That's what I am gonna do if I go through hair loss. Good luck to you!

I am 17 days post op and my sleep patterns are finally getting back to normal. I don't like to take Lot of stuff but called my doc and asked about melatonin and he said yes and that has really helped me. I still wake up earlier than I'd like but only after I've slept at least 6 or 7 hours. Check with your did as an option. No hangover and you can get it at any health food store.

I had my anesthesiologist put one on me before surgery and wore it for 3 days, as prescribed. I have AWAYS had a problem with nausea. However, with the patch I never felt nauseated except right when I woke up in recovery a little bit. Other than that, I think that patch saved me! Good luck!

I got a recipe grouping from one of my coworkers that has a bunch of whey protein shake recipes that are great! It's published by Herbalife but you can use any whey protein. I'll be happy to e-mail them to you, if you'll send me your address. BTW, I put a tablespoon of the butterscotch pudding mix. The pudding mixes are great for pumping up the flavor and I also add FF Greek yogurt (about 1/2 cup) to make it creamier and it adds 11g of protein.

I use the PB2, also. I add sugar free butterscotch pudding to the chocolate whey and peanut butter and it makes it a butterfinger-it's yummy! There are a lot of things you can add it to. I love this stuff
