Fyi for the moms out there, post op was like 1st trimester. It literally reminded me of morning sickness, some nausea, tired and a little dizzy at times. But unlike the 1st trimester it didn't last for 6+ weeks, for me it was 4-5 days. So if you have more than one child you know how hard it is to be pregnant and take care of your kids. Same senario, Hopefully!

I have a 2 and 4 year old, My husband was home with me one day before he went back to work. I never had a wt restriction I was told I could lift my kids (they are 30 and 40 pounds) and drive when I could look over my shoulder. I had about 4 days that I was just tired and napped with them. Other than that didn't need pain meds or anything else. Life was back to normal other than I had to keep showing them my bo bo's so that they could kiss them better. I would say you would need help for maybe one week but to not pick them up for a month seems a little overboard. I have been lifting wts and excersicing since 2 weeks post op and picking up kids all along. Good luck

I was off 10 days but could have gone back after one week. I am on my feet all day (Nurse) and talking. Only issue was dry mouth and not getting in enough liquids in between patients.

92.2 lbs! Started at 353 and now im 260.8!!!

I have never regretted this decision, I did 2nd guess myself before the surgery. But I came to a relization that you don't get to 340 pounds just because I had 2 babies. I have had what I think is a very easy recovery. The best part of this has been my lack of want for food. I eat because I have to not because I can or I feel like I am starving all the time. On my 2 week pre op diet I watched alot of supersize vs super skinny on youtube. This show really helped my deal with the amount of food that I was eating. I highly recommend it to anyone.

I bought food from my clinic which has alot of choices. So Protein Drinks and Soups, mostly they wanted me to get in 2fluids for every Protein drink. I didn't get alot in but at 2 weeks I could go to soft foods but I could also start eating protein chips from our clinic which are really good and crackers and such with tuna. That stage is 2-6 weeks. I am one month in and have added some other thinks to my diet. Tonight I had turkey meatballs and they went down well. Egg salad is another favorite. I read another person on here does a glass of skim milk in the am and pm and that has really helped me. Easiest thing for me to get down is a glass of milk and I started that around week 1. Good luck

Just rode a waterslide over the weekend, was too afraid last time we went that I would look like shamu coming down and the splash that would follow, but down 35 pounds and feeling great!

High amount of Protein with low amount of calories. The higher your protein and the lower your calories, the more wt you will loose. Also if you work out protein helps build musle which helps burn fat. So even though they are not the most tasty thing. They do help. Also I put coffee in mine to take away the sweetness. Its like putting alot of Creamer in your coffee just healthier.

wt myself today a few days from my official 1 month. I lost 12 pounds on my pre op and another 12 at my 2 week visit. I then didn't loose a thing for 10 days. Started loosing again another 5 pounds since sat. So overall in the past 6 weeks 29 pounds

3 weeks out and 1 chin gone. , Worst trying to get my fluids. I am a nurse and walk and talk alot so I often drink alot of Water quickly. Can not do that anymore so I really have to concentrate on drinking.
