I am drinking shakeology and doing PiYo as well. It is awesome! I did not think I was going to be sore the next day, but I was! It is so fun to do.

I believe that once the surgeons get your money and do the surgery, they give up on you. I am 5 years post op and have Fibromyalgia, protein and vitamin d deficiencies, and iron problems. They don't tell you things you can do prior to the surgery that can help you because they want the money!

Drink slowly small sips and no straws!

Biotin helps. My hair was thick before surgery and after started falling out like crazy! Also Nioxin is great to wash hair with and makes your hair look thicker!

When I had my surgery 5 years ago, I walked like that for about 2 weeks. When my tape started to come off the incisions looked like that, but nothing ever came of it. I would just watch to make sure there is no redness or soreness to the touch (other than what is expected). Foul odor or anything oozing.

DO NOT walk as much as they tell you to! I over walked and it ended up costing me. I thought I was dying! You wont need peroxide, gauze, or gloves after surgery lol. Your going to be fine! Good luck !

I can relate. I have become somewhat judgmental since I had my surgery 5 years ago and lost 150 pounds. I left my husband, had another baby, and become seriously sick. Now i am seeing a therapist trying to work out my issues. When the doctors tell you that you have to go through all the counceling before the surgery, don't take it lightly. This surgery changes everything!!

I still see myself as the fat girl! You look amazing!

Eat more Protein than anything! Your body will "tell you" when you can tolerate something or not. Some days you will be able to eat something and the next you wont. At first smelling food witll make you sick! When you start becoming hungry try refried Beans. I lived off of those for a while after my surgery. Remember everyone is different and tolerates things differently. Drink tons of water! Hope this helps.

There are a lot of vitamins that are good to take. I like the gummies myself. I also drink a shake that takes care of my deficiencies and levels my hypoglycemia all day long!

Don't let anyone get you down! They always told me I took the easy way out. It wasn't easy thats for sure! You and I both know it took a lot of hard work!
