I know that everyone is different.
I was functional after about a week but really did not feel normal in terms of energy until about 8 weeks. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Alcohol Post Op
My dr allows at one month post op. I'm about 10 weeks now and had about 1/2 glass wine a week or so ago. It was nice but will not be a regular thing. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Where do I put my scale ?
Mine is in the closet. Going on an eight week business trip and hope the apartment does not have a scale. Think the gym might but will try my best to avoid it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

UK Sleevers
I am going on a business trip to London for 8 weeks and leave tonight. I'm 10 weeks post-op. I plan to bring my GENEPRO with me but assume I can get things like Greek yogurt as easily as here? I will be in an apartment with a full kitchen so am confident I will stay on track but am looking for some reassurance that my whole world won't be turned upside down by not being able to find the staples I have relied on so far. Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Pre Op Emotions
It's good to be prepared. For the first couple days I could not scoop the litter box or bend down to feed the cats. I was not taking pain meds after the hospital and it Was just too painful, so had help. Good luck!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wound opened
Mine opened too. Didn't close until week 7 but is fine now. Was very frustrating because pants hit right where the incision was and I'm sure that contributed to the lengthy healing time. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
