My recovery was so easy I was shocked. I did sleep for 2 straight days and Water was hard to drink the first 3-4 days but a very little to no pain and never had gas pain. I was about and about on day 5 and walking a mile on the treadmill day 7 and have not stopped moving since! I think the 2 week liquid diet and a positive attitude makes a huge difference in recovery.

I'm down 35 and this week I have really started feeling thinner. I have also bought 1 new pair of pants from Walmart .. Surprised they had some cute clothes for cheap! I'm weird because people always say even though I lost all this weight I still see a fat person well I am the exact opposite. I was heavy all my life and lost 75 lbs senior year of high school and kept it off through out college plus lost more. However after college marriage and a baby 7 years later I gained all back plus 30 lbs. however I never felt like a fat person again ... I remember being shocked when something didn't fit or getting on a plane and the belt almost not fitting and was baffled. So I was a thinner minded person stuck in a fat body. Now as the weight is coming off I'm feeling more like myself again and sooo happy!

My program included a 2 week liquid pro op diet and then after surgery 6 teaspoons of puréed adding about a teaspoon every week. During this time I should have 3 Protein shakes. I get 1/4 c at 3 months... Work my way up to 1/2c at 6 months...3/4 at 9 months ... 1 c at a year and moving forward. As my food increases my Protein Shakes decrease. I'm suppose to have 1/2 my portion Protein , 1/4 veggie, 1/4 starch. I'm only 2.5 weeks out and 7 teaspoons so I'm only really eating protein . Overall everyone program is different my cousin is 3.5 months out and allowed 1 c of food. I personally like taking it slow in portions I feel like it gives me time to change my habits and relationship with food. Best of luck to you and I hope you find someone your comfortable with.

My surgery was May 7th I slept for 2 days in the hospital and drinking Water hurt so bad. However by Sunday that week I was feeling great and now feeling awesome! My doc had me do 2 week liquid- lost 13. After surgery I could start puréed and Protein shakes. All foods have been going down well and have found some great recipes on this sight ( thank you). Down total of 26 lbs from start of liquid diet to today! I think I'm starting a stall but overall so happy! I even walked for 30 min and did some light weight lifting... Ready for the future for sure !
