  8. Good luck!! Im three weeks post op. Pre op was when it started to feel real!!!
  9. Mine started early...I had surgery Monday morning, my period started that Thursday. Much lighter than normal. Lasted three days, which is a little less than normal. Haven't had one since (im three weeks post op now). I'm wondering if the lack of nutrition will effect it now? Usually fertility is first to go when your body is going through trauma.

  11. I'm three weeks post op. It's been amazing to me how much hunger is in my head!!! Even when I'm completely full, my head is saying just take one more bite... try to distract yourself, get up, move around, find something to do. When your head is focused on something else you'll forget about it BC you really aren't hungry. Hardest thing for me has been grocery shopping!!! Although I am on a hugely restricted diet, I still have a family that has to eat! Either I want to buy everything, (BC it's in my head) or I want to buy nothing. It's def a struggle but it's getting better every day. Good luck!!
  12. I've had three csections and had my sleeve three weeks ago. I recovered quickly from c sections. Had bp problems with sleeve, so wasn't able to get up and around for a few hours. The right side of my stomach was super sore. I went home the next day and laid around, took one pain pill that night. Decided right then I wasn't going to take any more pain meds, I cannot deal with crushing up pills. I went to the beach six days post op and haven't had any issues. So maybe 28 hours on pain meds with sleeve, compared to almost two weeks with c section?
