My surgeon just wanted me to lose 10lbs between October and my surgery last month. I lost nothing until January when they told me if I didn't start losing some weight I would not qualify then they gave me an easy diet I could try Breakfast Protein shake or 2 eggs Snack Light Yogurt Lunch Lean Cuisine Snack cheese Stick/Smartfood (something in the 100 calorie range) dinner Small portion of my normal family dinner or another Lean Cuisine I lost 40 lbs between February 2 and May 5

Same as above a slept in a recliner but I did it for 3 weeks as I am a side sleeper normally and would not have handled that (I tried after 1.5 weeks and went back to the recliner)

I had surgery on Thursday Morning and was discharged Saturday afternoon. My surgeon did a leak test in the OR and had a second one done Friday morning after which was allowed small sips of Water

I tell people I had the WLS because I need a Kidney Transplant and in order to qualify I needed to lose 80lbs... which hey only 15 more lbs to go :-)

Wow amazing loss in so quick a time!

I did carafate for a couple of days post surgery because it helped with this fluttering feeling I would get in my chest which was apparently some sort of acid reflux that caused nausea
