I have found my dr to be about is the middle when it comes to the plan he has me on.
I also understand the frustration in not feeling that their is enough support after the surgery. There isn't. Some of us have great support but the majority does not.
Which I find wierd. I would think the doctors would offer that so their numbers would be up.
We are talking about food addiction after all. For example in some of the groups I am in I see people post food. Yesterday someone posted pictures of food they were able to turn down. I think that is so destructive and I think it can and does trigger people. I think the pics should be in the comments. This is just common sense and also it's a reality that if you are addicted to something seeing pictures or videos of it can trigger you to want to use/eat. But, if you mention it people get crazy upset and start name calling. Lol...

So many things..... I am 5 weeks out today.
1. I didn't realize until the preop diet just how addicted to food I was. By the second day I tore my house apart like a crack head (no offense to crack heads) looking for sugar or bread.< /p>
2. I am absolutely terrified of eating at at a restaurant and being overwhelmed at all of the choices. I feel that I would either 1. Not eat and 2. Choose the wrong food.< /p>
3. I feel like a toddler learning their alphabet but for me it's about learning 90 percent more about food and making better food choices
4. Lots of people take of two weeks after this surgery. I am not working now so I didn't have to take time off. The surgery was super easy for me and I walked one mile about 3 hours after getting into my room (2 in total) I think that is why I only had gas pains less than 24 hours. Back to the two week thing. I was picking up my 24 lb son on the third day. Very slowly obviously! for me the second week was all mental for me. Not sure I could have handled that and the stress of a job.
5. Do yourself a favor and buy expensive socks for when you walk. The cheap ones (Hanes I believe) will help turn your feet into blisters.
6. This is my very first post! Good luck on your surgery. To the others thank you!
My question is it possible to harm your sleeve just swallowing the pills instead of crushing them?

Also, if you Drink too much Water too fast will it stretch the sleeve? I can actually drink 4-6 swallows at a time if I wanted too.

@ - forgot to mention shrinking fat cells can secrete a whole bunch of hormones rather rapidly and it can knock you for a loop...happens to men and women: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/343777-guys-room-is-everyone-else-overly-emotional-or-am-i-just-an-ae/
So warn close loved ones this "might" happen. It's temporary. But I didn't know why I got so weepy watching chick flicks until I found that post.
