When did you start drinking coffee?
hdw85 replied to ChristinasSleeveStory's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am about 4 month post op and I started drinking coffee again at about 6 weeks.. but I only drink a cup or 2 at most a day. Just make sure you are keeping up with your other fluids. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

I would say agree that it will depend on the surgeon, but I would guess you will have to have some sort of pre-op diet. I would have no way been able to go back to work that soon. I missed 2 weeks of work and was still slow moving when I went back.. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The shakes are fine to go back to if you are not getting enough Protein in.. Just try to eat the protein at meals first..I would probably really try to stay away from anything fried and any extra carbs though, we all know how hard this is.. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I slept on my back for a few hours, then I slept in my recliner for a few hours for the first week. I then used pillows and put them under my stomach and laid on my side until I was healed enough to sleep on my stomach again. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok, so I am about 7 weeks post gastric bypass. When I eat I have maybe 3-4 bites and feel kinda full, well I take some time and then I can eat more. Is it normal to feel full after only a few bites then wait and eat more? If I stop at 3 bites I'm hungry in no time. Anybody else like this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had salad at about 6 weeks post op.. It went down fine and I haven't had any trouble with it so far. I usually do put chicken or a boiled egg on it for Protein though. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It will get better! The gas pains took a few days to get moved out though. The first week or so it was uncomfortable when I swallowed anything also. Just remember things are swollen up in there still, that will get better as well, just take small sips. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I needed someone for about 4 days to help me get up and down and then after that I could make it on my own. It just took me a long time to get things done, but I made it. Getting in and out of bed was one of the hardest things for me. Good luck Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I am about 4 days from being one month post op gastric bypass. I was feeling pretty good and went shopping yesterday and got a few cases of propel and Water. Last night and today I have had a jabbing sort of pain on my right side of my abdomen. Maybe I shouldn't have lifted them or something?? Anybody else have this happen??!

I told my boss I was having an elective surgery and she never asked anymore.. I have told everyone at work now that I am 3 weeks post op, everyone but one person has been super supportive. The one that wasn't was one that responded with all the dangers that can come with WLS, I just said, " well thanks for your concern" and smiled!
