    It's so normal to feel tired . Your body has been through a lot of stress and now it is trying to heal. The important thing to remember is that while your body is currently in a starvation mode and as fat burns your are forming a lot of ketones which need to be flushed out with the clear fluids and you need the Protein to heal . So rest up and drink up and your energy levels will return to normal soon!

    Not bad at all! They will give you a pump so you can hit the button to self medicate. They remove that usually sometime the next day and start. You on oral meds (liquids).
    Hope that helps! They will also send you home with a pain med that's a liquid as well. I took mine twice when I got home and that was it! Good luck!

    I underwent Bariatric Surgery 11 months ago. I lost 20 pounds pre-surgery and 80 pounds post-surgery for a total weight loss of 100 pounds. I wrote a short article (How I Survived Bariatric Surgery) about my experience thus far. The article is at http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf
    I have also included a before and after picture at http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Operation.jpg

    Hi angel face
    .. I'm 59 years young and my dr asked what my weight was in high school. I told him I was usually around 130 lbs . He sails realistically you should be able to get down to 145-150 . I love that idea! I am 5'2" and currently weigh 238 and in a size 22. I would be thrilled in a size 14, I'm not at all interested in being thin just healthy!
