Hi, Mom of 4: recovery is different for everynody. I was really weak for 5 weeks . Then realized that I am someone who needs carbs. I have a little potato each day and I feel wonderful. Go for it....you'll be fine. You'll have your secret weapon (your sleeve) to get you through the holidays!

Well..I just has half of a Wendy's hamburger. Mayo, ketchup, pickle, onion and lettuce. We'll see how it sits....I tore most of the top roll off because it was just too thick. My husband brought dinner home for us. I guess I should be grateful that he was thoughtful enough to bring dinner home. Sure wish he had opted for the grilled chicken sandwich. Hmmm.

My largest incision was very tender. It was painful for me to take a deep breath. Being a professional singer, this was a problem. Just took it easy for longer. Maybe you should call your doctor regarding the deep stitch. I had staples. Hang in there. And take your time recovering,....be good to yourself. Don't rush it.

Bright side...I'm not sliming, dumping or vomiting! Haven't yet....so if I have to live with some burping and a little reflux...so be it! I really HATE vomiting!

Pickle went well. I ate half a chicken croquette for dinner. ...burping a lot. I burp a lot after all my meager meals....hmmmm. maybe I'm eating too much or too fast ?
