I'm starting to feel a little better, the pain on the left side is getting better. Now you are going to need some help with your kids, it's good that you have your husband there to assist you. My Dr told me for the first 3-4 weeks not to lift nothing over 25 pounds. I have a 3 year old and between my daughter and husband they have helped me out a lot. Don't worry everything will be good. I know your anxious, because I was too. If you have any other questions call me 972-835-0642.

Hey girl, I had my surgery on April 2nd and went back to work April 11th. The only thing I can tell you is to expect some discomfort on the left side. If your body allows you to go back to work then I would go back, if not you gone have to chill out. Ask your Dr what his intake is on your recovery process. My Dr told me two weeks depending on how I felt after a week. Good luck!

lburtie4,,, your nutritionist was right 1oz every 10 min, although mines is 1 oz every 15 min total of 4 oz in an hour. I can only consume 1 oz that hour because I feel so full.

Hi Joan, Popsicles will be your lifesaver. I'm now going on my 7th day post op and still can only consume 1 oz an hour. Chicken broth and bouillon cubes have started to make me gag. I use slim fast as part of my protein because I haven't found one that I like, my support group at work told me about premier shakes, I think I will try those next. Hang in there it will get better.

Kelly my stomach is hurting too, I can't consume my 4 ounce in that hour only like 3. I kinda feel depressed too.

Got sleeved on 4/2, still a little discomfort and lots of gas.
