I'm 3 .5 weeks post op and am having problems with buttoning my pants. They fit super lose in thighs and hips, but tight around waist. Does anyone else have this problem? Or do I have a Mrs Potato head body with skinny limbs?

Day 4 and I'm not feeling well. Is this normal?
anxioustobethin replied to Margie14's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can relate to everything your feeling except for the fever. I'm 54 years old and have always bounced back from surgeries except for this one. I felt miserable for the first 15 days. Although the pain was minimal, I didn't feel like myself and had some regrets. However, on day 17, things began to change. I have more energy and am now taking 20 min walks. I realize that 20 min. isn't a lot based on what others are doing, but each step for me matters because 5 days before I was depleted. It seems that many of us during the early stages don't have the perfect recovery and our pre-op excitement was replaced with some a level of regret. Know that it does get better with time, and as we recover and begin to feel and look great this experience will help us keep on track w our new healthy lifestyles. I wish you a speedy recovery -

Post-op hospital stay
anxioustobethin replied to KBlood's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved two weeks ago today. I was supposed to stay in the hospital for two days, but was release a day early. The hospital is cold so make sure you takes some warm socks. The pain varies from person to person, but my pain was minimal. I refused pain meds and took Tylenol a couple of times. The nausea was pretty bad for about 2 days, but it eventually passed. Good luck with your surgery -

NOT ADAPTING TO PHASE 2...HELP!
anxioustobethin replied to Unbesleeveable's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on liquids for 3 weeks before I can start the stage 2 diet. Based on the different responses , it looks like you have the shortest number of days on the liquid diet. I hope you feel better -
My recommendation is you first do some internet research on your surgeon. Call the office manager and ask how many of his surgeries had leaks or complications that resulted from the surgery. Your questions will have standard answers which is always helpful, but what matters is that you are comfortable with your surgeon. Good luck
