I cheated. I had a food funeral!! I was 248 on my first doctor visit and 2 months later on DOS I was 252. But now I'm 220. It's so much easier post surgery.

I had surgery one month ago and this would be so helpful. Please email me when you have a chance! Kstraight@gmail.com Thanks!!!!

Surgery was 4/25 and I still can't sleep on my stomach or side. It drives me crazy to sleep on my back but I have no choice. I try on my tummy but I'm still a little sore

I did the same thing. I'm two weeks post surgery, was finally starting to feel normal and then I pulled a muscle on my left side. It freaking kills!

I'm 9 days out and just now starting to get back to normal. Like you, I was in a lot of pain at first- didn't expect that much pain and I thought by day 5 I'd be feeling normal. I was sooo wrong. Everyone is different, some ppl have almost no pain post-op and others have a lot! I can say that each day after day 6 or 7 got a lot better. I even went to the store and walked for an hour with my family!today. Good luck to you, hang in there!!

Headed to Kroger as soon as I'm cleared to drive!

Sparklette how many days post op are you? I'm on day 6 and still a lot of pain on my abdomen in two spots when I walk or stand. I called the doc today And they said its from cut muscles and will take time. I just thought at 6 days out the pain would be all gone.

I'm 5'4" and a size 18W pants (snug) and 2xl tops. 250 lbs at surgery 6 days ago. I'd like to be 140 and a size 8/10 and large tops, medium maybe. I have hips and big boobs so ill always be a bit curvy!

I'm 6 days post-op and feel out of whack- physically and emotionally. It's got to be normal but I'm sad that we are finally having nice weather and I'm stuck inside while my husband is out playing with our kids. I just don't physically feel up to it yet. I have sharp pain when I get up or down or when I walk. If I sit still I'm fine. I'm getting the fluids and protein in just fine but I'm so anxious to be back to normal. I thought it would feel better by now Sorry to vent!

Yay! Nice to have someone close! LMK when you have your date. I'm 4/25 and counting the days! CW: 248, Surgery Date: 4/25/13

I have to to do a flush the morning before my surgery and they said to start my leave that day as I'll be in the bathroom quite a bit. CW: 248, Surgery Date: 4/25/13

It depends a lot on your insurance requirements- if they don't require a pre-op supervised diet, you can usually fast track it. I had my first info meeting on March 5 and surgery is scheduled for April 25. I had to get PCP sign off, just had an upper GI, have a few more tests and psych eval in early April and I'm set. Good luck to you! CW: 248, Surgery Date: 4/25/13
