      Awesome, I am so happy you feel better!!! It just keeps getting better, I am very happy that I had my surgery and I am down 33lbs in a month and a half, and although I am still finding things I can't eat, I am finding a lot that I can, and I like that!!!

      Try not to focus on the scale. I did that for awhile, and it isn't healthy or helpful. Enjoy the extra energy and new activities. The weight loss will come in time.

    2. StephanieRR

      StephanieRR

      Stool softenfers for staters. 2 a day....As for your stomach, are you eating properly and not getting ahead of the plan? If you are giving the proper diet a fair try and not eating the wrong things, then you should contact your doctor.

      your very welcome!!! I know it sounds kinda funny but that is how I tell???

  18. Not sure if it's just me but i have been nibbling food and eating it a week and 4 days post op i have had no problems with anything i have ate... obviously it's just a bite here and there but i was told I'd get sick if i ate anything so can anybody give me there experience on this...

    1. StephanieRR

      StephanieRR

      Pinky, Mike is right. The more I thought about it, the more I remember my nutritionist telling me not to have any food till they cleared me on my 1 week post op visit. She said most leakers occur from those who eat too early. I am happy that you did not get sick, but the guidelines are there from those who went beofre us and learned the hard way. Not trying to give you a lecture, just want you healthy girlie!!

    2. pinky4652

      pinky4652

    How did you feel in recovery

    U won't feel like u have been hit I will state however right when they move u to ur room they expect you to walk as much as possible u will feel lots of pressure in ur tummy after the numbing goes away... I threw up a few time... but after they get u settled in ur out for a few hours and u have ur pain button so not really to much pain I noticed only when they made me walk I barfed.... only issue I've had.. just remember walk walk walk walk gas pains hurt so do the burps but it gets the pressure out and good luck to you
