I get a runny nose whenever Im full...weird.

I waited a Yr! Lol JK..I say it was 2 to 3 weeks without "activity", the rest was fair game....Im going on my 5 Month Surgiversary on the 20th and its been Great!

Hi,

I had Surgery 3/20/15 with Kim @ Celebration. So far it's been going great! Started @285 now at 215! I've had no complications what so ever either!

I also had the itching. I was sleeved 3/20. It has since gone away. I was told it's likely a reaction to the Morphine.

I'm 2 months out and I eat watermelon and strawberries...Only thing that doesn't go down so well is pineapples.

Yes! That's how I know I'm getting full. Weird!

Hi!

I had surgery 3/20

Preop diet (2 Wks B4) Weight: 285

Surgery Weight: 261

Current Weight: 224

Total Lost: 37 lbs (61 lbs since preop)

Pre Surgery size- 40 pants XXL shirt

Current size- 34 pants L shirt

I've had an amazing recovery, no complications what soever.

Joy: Love the compliments! Everyone def. notices the difference. (But I hate the attention...I don't like being the center of attention) and I love trying on new smaller clothes.

It can be the antibiotics also...I'm also at 6 weeks (had Surgery Mar 20th) doing amazing so far! How much have you lost?

My follow ups are as follows:

2 Weeks

1.5 months (official weight, body mass, Fat and Muscle break down)

3 months (Blood Work, also official weight)

6 months

1 year

I was there for 2 days. Its very nice and comfortable!

I had my surgery done at Celebration also. Dr Kim, my surgery was 3/20. So far so good! No complications And the hospital staff was amazing!

For me I feel pressure in my chest when I either eat too fast or too much. I also know I'm getting full because strangely enough I start getting a running noise every time.

Hi,

I'm also 9 days post op. I'm currently on the puréed part of my diet (Days 8-14)

I had scrambled eggs this am. I just lightly puréed it in the Nutribullet. (Make sure they are soft, add cheese or a lil bit of milk)

@@fox99 you are taking Ibuprofen? Did your doc give you the ok? Ibuprofen is an NSAID.

I took 3 weeks off and been itching to go back to work. I had no complications or pain what so ever.

Walking. I go to the super market and walk every aisle every day. It usually takes me at least 20 mins. I also park my car far. That's how I get most of my walks. I also take my dog on long walks.

Take your Nausea Meds

I'm only 6 days in and I start Purée Diet in 2 days! (Sat) can't wait! I've had no complications and I'm getting all my liquids.

When do you start your purée diet plan? (Mine starts at the 8th day)

What type of nutrition plan do you have? Are you still on a clear liquid diet?

Hi, I had surgery on the 20th also. So far so good. I still don't get hungry much. I start my purée diet on Sat. Just a couple of mins ago I did cheat tho...I seen some watermelon in the fridge and I had a piece. (Just chewed it, and spit out the pulp) it felt so good to chew on something.

1. tihis may be an odd question, Are you catheterized for this procedure? if so how long till it is taking out?

I had my surgery in Orlando FL, (5 Days Post Op today, No Catheters were used.

2.how long till you can put clothes on?I hate being stuck in a hospital gown to long.

I was able to put on underwear and pants under my Hospital Gown.

3. does maybe 1 family member come in to the recovery room?

My Mom was allowed to go see me for a couple of mins in the recovery room.

Mine took about 2.5 hrs

Mine was also Similar:

1 Days 1-2 (clear liquid)

2 Days 3-10 (Full Liquid)

3 Weeks 2-3 (Soft Foods/Purees)

4 weeks 4 - 6 months (full food)

5 Months 6 and beyond (still full foods but, able to add Brown Rice and some additional complex carbs (Whole Wheet Dry Cereal, Peanut Butter, Plantains, popcorn, potatoes, whole Wheet crackers and breads)

I'm 4 days post op and I've already been sleeping on the side for the last 2 days. I'm sure in the next few days I will be sleeping on my stomach.

Got released today. So Glad to be home. I've been sipping all day long. Haven't had any issues or additional pain so far.
