Congratulations!!!! You look amazing!! Great Job!!!

It's definitely different after you lose the weight! I can definitely tell the difference it was hard for me before the weight loss much better now good luck!

I'm 4 months out and I can have a 1/4 of a slice. If you try it eat very slowly cut it into small pieces and only put a few on your plate. And trust me don't try it at 2 weeks not even thin crust lol

New Jersey

I'm an EMT and my doctor said I should be out for 8 weeks. I had to go back a week early. My first day back I was very tired and even got sick in the back of the ambulance, which never happens. But after a few days I was ok. Take your time don't rush back to work. Remember you actually have more physical work than you think. Trust me you don't realize how much you move and you do until after your surgery. Good luck to you

Congrats and good luck in your new journey!

I'm 5 weeks post op and I am struggling with the protein shakes and fluid intake any pointers?

@@rustyw yes it is lol..I go back to work on Tuesday and I'm stressing because my job is very stressful and hectic.

@@LessOfMe0503 I wish you the best

@@jane13 I will try setting a schedule but I can only take sips at a time and my body won't tolerate water but I will definitely try it with coconut water! Thank you for your help

@@Alex Brecher thank you for the help I did find a healthier coconut water I also switched my protein to see if that would help but I definitely will try making my protein shakes with coconut water. As for my fluids it's just hard for me to find something that my stomach tolerates as well as I can only take tiny sips at a time but I'm following your advice and I downloaded an app to keep track of my fluids. I can't tolerate plain water so I added some lemon to it sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

@@FireWife thank you so much

@@FireWife Congrats I wish you the best!

@@SeahawksFan I can't tolerate room temperature liquids so it's going to be a challenge to keep hydrated I'm going just freeze my drinks and hope for the best lol. I was able to tolerate some things a week ago that I can't now but I guess my body is changing and I really haven't thrown up except for one time it's more my stomach just grumbling and sometimes I just feel the food hit my stomach but I will follow your advice..thank you so very much and thank your husband for what he does our profession is very underpaid and under appreciate lol

@@Elode Congrats on your accomplishment we all know it's not easy. And just remember sometimes people can't set aside their own insecurities to be happy for others as well as others think that this journey is easy you just have surgery and that's it the weight is gone.

Im at 5 weeks and it seems that I can't eat anything without my stomach grumbling any pointers?

@@Soapandcandlequeen I take really small bites and have many a few bites and I'm done but I haven't really eaten in weeks I was just drinking here and there so maybe my sstomach needs time to get used to food again

@@sleevenv sorry I had my fiance type while I put the groceries away I will definitely try your suggestion next..I appreciate your help

@@sleevenv i just went to the store and bought the Lactaid butIi will definitely try that one next, thanks so much for the help!

@@Kindle lol that's so true!!! and trust me its a lot worse when people are sick.
