    You are right on track. Two weeks post op you do have days with no energy. It will get better. You need to remember that your body is in chock. The only thing you can do is to keep doing what you´re supposed to do and relax all you can.

    I was working out on the elliptical and driving 7 days post op. Check with your surgeon's office. Generally, it is largely based on being off narcotics and how you feel but some surgeons require rest for longer periods.

    4 weeks for driving & heavy lifting to prevent hernia
    Walk for 15 mins every 2 hrs
    You may feel good now, but you should really follow the discharge instructions. You still got some pretty tough days head. So take it easy.

    I switched to ecigs (WITH nicotine) and have been fine without cigarettes. Nicotine, according to my doctor, is as harmless to your body as caffeine and he's okay with my vaping habit. Heck, I was vaping in the hospital post-op! If you're able to jump up to a nicquid with some percentage of nicotine, you may fight the urge. To each their own.

    I will not be the one to tell you want to do. If you smoke they say the healing time is longer. What I will tell you is my story. Went I was released from the hospital I went right back to smoking. I did not have any post problems. I have smoked ever since that time. I smoke because I want to, I enjoy it and that is the decision I made. If you are really wanting a cigarette that is your business what you do. I sure hope that help in making your decision. Good luck to you.

    I will be sleeved tomorrow. Woke up today at 4 am with pain in my right leg from yoga's class yesterday night, I think is the tension! I do excited and lind of scared. Casually i learned last night that a neighbor ( my apt building is really small) had a bypass last month and was talking to her for an hour, she telling me about her post op. Of course the sleeve is not so invasive, but it's nice to have a WLS neighbor to whom speak. I will keep you posted. By the way i am beeing sleeved in Caracas, Venezuela.

    Good luck to all of you who have lived with the deep heartache and painful emotional abuse that having an NPD parent causes in a child's life.
    Distance and therapy are what have saved my sanity. I went full "no-contact" for a year in order to gain perspective. After that I enacted a very low-contact relationship and erected very firm and clear boundaries.
    The best thing possible to do as the child of a NPD parent is to create space and boundaries. It is not easy though, as for our entire lives we've been conditioned to play the part our mothers have assigned us.
    The metamorphous I went through....first realizing at the age of 32 that my mother was NPD, having a massive nervous breakdown from the pain associated with the awareness of my childhood, therapy, going no-contact, erecting boundaries, and finally being in control of my relationship with her....has led to a reinvention of myself. I am stronger, smarter, full of more self-love than I've ever been, and focused on being the best ME that I can be. Now I am marching toward WLS. It is all a part of my personal growth, development, and love for who I am.
    I will be healthy, self-aware, strong, self-loving, and above all...I will be IN CHARGE OF MY OWN HAPPINESS!

    Thanks to all of you. I decided to tell my mother that i was hired for a job outside of the city for 15 days. Also that I decided to start a new diet so she will think i am loosing weight only because of the diet. Sadly as my dad passed away and she lives 5 min from my home, I am the one that take care of her needs as food, services payment, etc. try to visit with her as short as possible. She is starting senile dementia so she forgets almost everything. I have been in therapy for years and even when i know NPD is an illness, sometimes is just impossible not to feel as if i want to kill her!! Thanks god o have a wonderful sister and lots of lovable cousins who are with me now. Blessings for all of you. My surgey os nect wed. I am so happy!!!
