I would imagine pretty much everyone.

This question comes up frequently and the consensus is that you'l have one when your body is ready to have one. You'll see replies from 1 day to 1 week. As long as you are staying hydrated and not in any acute severe pain, you'll be fine!

The beauty of this tool that it allows you to take pause, where in the past, you would have mindlessly eaten much much more.
This time you at least stopped, thought about it, made a decision (although it sounds like you regret it) and are now being accountable. This sounds much healthier and deserves to be celebrated - so congrats!
Guilt and shame should have been left behind in the O.R.
Love yourself enough to enjoy the cookie, track it and move on!

48 lbs in the past 3-5 weeks and you're "disappointed"...?
What in the heck has happened to us as a society to where this could even be remotely considered something to be "disappointed" about?
I'm disappointed that you feel disappointed about this instead of celebrating your new healthier life.
Chin up, buttercup - it only gets better!

*Disclaimer* This is just my opinion...
I think they are dangerous and a waste of your money. You can become dehydrated and broke!
Don't lose site that VSG is a surgical tool to help you become more healthy.
Leave these fads in the biohazard bin with your old stomach.

Enchiladas are one of the things that I can eat - it's my go to item when taken out for mexican food!

Hey Cubbie,
It'll be weird at first, but once you have a fewer food restrictions, you'll be able to join right in (just will eat and drink in much smaller quantities).
I had to attend work meetings, lunches and dinners as early as 1 week post-op. You can do it - but like I said, it's weird at first, but once you see it's not as bad as you thought, you get through it.
I focus on the conversations and make the interaction more about that than the food or drinks.

Overnight...and that was only because I died during surgery (briefly) - otherwise, I would have been able to go home same day.

I wore basketball shorts just a few hours post-op and didn't find it problematic. I say bring both and wear whatever's most comfortable!

LOL, I just took a picture of one of these sitting on my lap at a powerlifting competition last weekend!

Eat fresh, wholesome stuff. Not eating crappy, processed, highly refined food really isn't "dieting". If you just follow the basics (protein first, then carbs, then veggies), you'll never feel like you're dieting ever again! Don't start setting yourself up for failure now - you've made it this far and wow! Look at your results!!!
