  1. Thanks all. I may give them a call. I was cleared at my 1 week follow up to do cardio -- just not allowed weights at least until my 3 month follow up. It definitely wasn't what I would call an intense workout - just an even pace (2.8 mph or less) for a long time. That's why having my Ipad and Netflix is going to be my best workout tool.
  2. Hi all, My apologies for bringing TMI to the table so to speak, but I am not sure if I should be concerned or not. I had surgery on March 13 and my cycle started 6 days later (19th). It ended on the 25th, and just now I noticed that I appear to be starting my cycle again -- only 8 days after it ended. I know cycles can be wonky after surgery, so that isn't what worries me. It is just the timing because I went to the gym today for the first time and did cardio for an hour. Less than an hour later I notice the spotting. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could they be linked or is my body just being wonky? Thanks in advance! Trying not to panic here.
  3. I was told 3 months before introducing a straw. I am already having a problem with taking swallows that are too big so I am going to leave the straws alone for now.

  5. I am sorry that happened to you. I only had a one-week post op appointment, but my doctor did not even look at my weight. I asked him about it and he said the first few weeks don't count because of water weight, etc. He said my 6 week appointment with the nutritionist is when they will want to see progress.
  6. Thanks. I think you are right. I went home, took a nap for a few hours, then went to bed at my normal time. I feel 1000% better today.
  7. Hi all, First post here. Sleeved on the 13th, so I am at 2 weeks post-surgery today. My surgery and recovery went amazingly easy. No nausea, not much pain... I went shopping two days after surgery and returned to work a week ago. I felt great and fully of energy -- walking around the neighborhood starting on day 3. The only real issue I noticed is being a little fuzzy or forgetful. I am on soft foods, getting plenty of fluids and protein in. Then suddenly last night and today I feel like I have been run over. I can hardly stay awake at work and I had some nausea this morning. This is so unexpected since I was doing so well. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Thanks.
