  1. The first couple of days suck! But it gets easier, just keep yourself busy.
  2. Watch out for uti's!!
  3. The doctor told me 4 weeks. I'm on week 3. But I have absolutely no desire.
  4. Yes!! Those are saving my life right now!!
  5. I think it just depends on what you do for a living. I'm a hairdresser and I took 2 and a half weeks. I felt great when I got back. Occasional back pain when I work too long without a break, but nothing I can't handle.
  6. You look amazing!! You all do!! Congratulations everyone you inspire me.
  7. Thanks guys. That really helps. Now I have hope. Lol I really thought if I couldn't get these down id be screwed.
  8. I'm taking the Bariatric advantage chewable vitamins and they are awful! I have to take them twice a day and I get super nauseous and I've actually thrown up a couple of times. I really would prefer a capsule instead of this chewable crap. Does anyone take regular capsules? I had my surgery on the 9th, and I swallow my biotin, and acid reflux meds just fine. Please help
  9. I lost 20 lbs in 10 days!! Congratulations to everyone!
  10. Mine were pretty much healed in a week. Even my large incision wasn't all that big. Did you have the stitches or staples?
  11. On the 9th. So I'm about 2 and a half weeks out
  12. Lol I don't see what the big problem is as long as you're staying hydrated.
  13. Decaf should be fine, but my doctor said no caffeine for 3 months, after 3 months, only one caffeinated beverage per day.
  14. Thank you!! I know I love it here, and I feel much more comfortable than going to an actual support group. Lol
  15. It went great!! I had my sleeve done on 9/9 so it's been about 10 days and I'm down exactly 20 pounds!! I'm so happy! And I got the go ahead from my doctor to start soft foods. Yayyyy! I never want to look at another jello again. We also got to test out the different vitamins, so I bought those too. Pretty tasty. All in all I'm super pleased with my progress and I can't wait to see where I'll be a month from now.
  16. Yeah. Everything was soft, it was just the chicken I was worried about, but I chewed it real good, and it went down just fine.
