You got this!

I had severe plantar fasciitis prior to surgery. The pain began to subside after two weeks post op. Currently the pain is about 90 percent improved since surgery and I'm a little over 3 months out.

I feel fantastic! My suggestion is to make the break from carbs during the preop phase and avoid them at all costs. Once you reintroduce the carbs those old cravings that got us in this mess will return as well. Also, find a good protein shake that you like and drink it religiously. Keep moving!

61 pounds at 3 months on Tuesday, 76 since pre op diet

Yes yes yes, three months post op and zero regrets, zero complications. Down 75 pounds since preop diet.

Hang in there! Just remember that no pie is worth daily insulin injections or not being able to play with your kids. That's what I tell myself when someone walks in the room with food. It will be worth it.

Very normal and it will happen again. Try not to weigh everyday. I weigh on Wednesday and Saturdays only.

I was sleeved in January, BCBS Federal covered 100% less $150 hospital and $150 surgeon co payments.

I was pre diabetic with an A1C of 5.9 preop, currently my post surgical A1C stands at 4.7. These numbers reflect average fasting glucose levels of 120 and 90 respectively. Big difference.

I'm 2 1/2 months out and have had issues with constipation as well This is what works for me. Three doses of Benefiber per day and two doses of Dulcolax stool softener. Lots of fluids.

I agree, it's normal with lower BP readings. Mine has been less lately but worse in the second month post op.

I'm a case worker as well and took three weeks off after surgery. I could have probably returned after 10 days but was glad I took the three weeks.

2.5 months out down 50 pounds, total of 67 since preop diet 3 months ago. Breakfast: Protein shake Lunch: 4oz canned chicken breast with mayo or tuna with mayo Dinner: 3 to 4 oz fish or chicken breast with small amount of vegetable Evening snack: yogurt I drink 4 or 5-16 oz bottles of Water daily <750 calories, <30 carbs daily, >100 grams of Protein daily Not proud to say but no exercise for me.

I have a very similar job and still took three weeks off. It's getting through those food phases and becoming accustomed to what and how much you can eat that would have messed me up had I gone back sooner. By week three I was sure of my diet and what to take with me. The physical stuff, being tired or running out of fuel never was an issue for me.

No, 4 wings is my limit. Lol
