I am 14 days post op and been on liquids for three weeks I am now moving to soft foods and the first meal was mashed potatoes I was able to easily eat a cup with only some gas discomfort so does that mean my pouch is bigger then others? Is it normal to worry that the weight won't come off? I have been walking everyday and getting more active. My weight also hasn't changed in almost 5 days Sent from my Z812 using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon told me to wait at least 3 weeks so I haven't tried yet but I sure hope it's not affected Sent from my Z812 using the BariatricPal App

I also just ignore it Sent from my Z812 using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon told me I could walk as tolerated and run as soon as I felt up to it just not to over do it so I started running a little 5 days post op, but I recommend asking your surgeon. Sent from my Z812 using the BariatricPal App

I slept on my side for the first few days but then after days 5 I could sleep on my stomach ( which is what I used to do before surgery) Sent from my Z812 using the BariatricPal App

I read and did alot of research before surgery so I feel I was prepared for everything, and yes the shoulder pain was terrible everything else has been a piece of cake, I am 12 days post op and was going to gym the day after I got home so I have recovered well so far no complications, no pain in fact I wouldn't even know I had the surgery if it wasn't for the fact that I am still on liquids only.

I am now 2 days post op and started having nose bleeds so Dr told me to stop the blood thinner for two days, I am still sore but I got out and walked 30min today, but now I have a low grade fever and trying to decide if I should call the Dr about that or see if it goes down.

Ok is this normal? My vsg is in less then 12 hours and I am scared to death I am trying to sleep and all I can think is I need to hug my kids and make arrangements in case I don't wake up from surgery. Sent from my Z812 using the BariatricPal App

I am looking forward to family pictures as well and also to go buy boots from the a boot store rather then having to get the wide calf ones Sent from my Z812 using the BariatricPal App

Today is my second day of liquids and it's getting harder, I wonder why some doctors allow a meal and others don't. Sent from my Z812 using the BariatricPal App

You can do this!! Just keep your head up and remember you are in control not the food and if you are religious then pray for the strength to keep going on this journey you have worked hard to get to this point. Sent from my Z812 using the BariatricPal App
