    I work in an office too and I took 3 weeks. The first week I was sore, exhausted and overall useless!

    I'll try and explain...

    Your pouch will definitely let you know when you've had enough. Pay attention to your body

    Advice <3

    Put a pillow in between you and the seatbelt on your way home! It really helps!

    Were you paying for a private or semi private room?

    Dry skin

    Did anyone else experience insanely dry skin post op? I normally have pretty oily skin and there is like zero moisture left for me! Any tricks besides lotion?

    I was told 30 minutes.

    6 days post-op

    Same here! My surgeon said it would go away!
  13. How long were you on the puréed stage?
  14. For me it's the fact that I can't eat as much and sweets make me dump.

    Nausea... Don't want to eat!

    Have you tried unflavored protein powder to add to stuff like applesauce or eggs?
  18. I took 3 weeks. I was useless the first and tired the next two but managed to get a few things done around the house.

    Eating

    If you're gassy, try walking. It helps me!
  20. Yes!! For the past few weeks! Mine has gotten better with alternating walking and resting. It's worst for me at night but it's more of a weird feeling and not pain. My surgeon said it should go away on its own.

    Vitamins and calcium

    I'm sorry you had to go through that. I would get a new doctor, pronto.

    Soft food phase

    I've been having small amounts of ricotta cheese topped with sauce and Parmesan...heaven in a bowl. Also retried beans with a bit of cheddar on top.
