Isn't that what the Percocet is for?

Yummy!

My tummy doesn't like acid, but if they don't bother you, enjoy!

Ok, now I have to make one!

Good luck. Don't let anyone pressure you into eating too much!

At most a TINY sip at the end to clear the dryness. But after 30 minutes is up I start hitting the water hard to get 80-100 oz in. Eating and drinking sure takes a lot of concentration now!

I love how these threads digress. From cheeseburgers to VSG dating, too funny. Not interested in dating (could use a good l*y though). Maybe that's why I have a mad craving for a burger. Missing meat.

Thanks for sharing that. Makes me feel better!

Tried weights tonight. Boy did my muscles fatigue fast!

Wow! That does look like it hurts. The incisions take about a week before they really start feeling better. Rest up, and if you have anyone to help you, let them!

I had very little pain. The nurses kept getting on my case about not using my morphine (i used it once in 8 hours instead of every 8 minutes). Don't stress about it.

It really varies person to person, especially in the beginning. I could eat French fries with no prob at 2 weeks (not that I should be), but others can't tolerate them. No way to tell until after surgery. I think in time, though, most people can eat carbs again. My doc said there wasn't anything I couldn't eat within a few months. I love carbs, but for my health and happiness I'm willing to forego them for awhile.

My BMI was 38 on surg day. Exercise is a struggle. Tonight I had a mandatory dinner with our new VP. I was good, only had 3 bites of Salmon and 1 bite of cauliflower, but I'm not going to the gym at 9:00 pm when I have to be up at 5. Doing my best to get it in as often as I can. Work screws me up A LOT! Still positive though. I've never lost more 12 lbs on my own, and I gained it back + 5. Not ready to throw in towel just yet. :-)

Without unbottoning or unzipping. Hooray!

I felt like my insides had been moved around after mine. Happy healing!

And cut out the carbs. http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/recipes/quick-recipes/dinner/vegetable-side-dishes/?page=1

Sounds delish!
