I cheated until my final week my last week I stayed on a strict liquid diet. My surgery took approx. 30 minutes and my recovery has been a breeze. My doctor said because I stuck to the regimen

11/8

Idky other people like to focus on the post op weight loss but we've all lost a significant amount of weight during the pre-op. Just remember the surgery monitors the amount of food intake not the kind of food. Youre making you're own decisions for a better healthier life and maybe offer her help because we've all been through this weight loss battle but don't allow her to steal your victories

I would say stick to the diet it made my surgery and recovery easier than the stories I've heard from other bariatric pals.

I'm November 8th

Today is my third day post op. I feel much better. I don't take pain medicine unless necessary. I would say the sleeping is the most difficult I only sleep 2 hours at a time. I had a bowel movement this morning and flatulence thi evening. I still can't bend over but I know it's all in due time

Looking Good

Remarkable story Congratulations!

I'm a part of kaiser's options program as well. I lost 20 pounds throughout the 12-week instructional class. My doctor, Dr. Mun put me on a strict 2 week Liquid diet of course I cheated up until the final week then I was strict on myself the final week. I walked a lot immediately post op but I didn't have a lot of gas. The Dr and nurses told me it was because my stomach was truly empty and he didn't have to use as much gas during my procedure as he normally does My surgery was November 8, 2016

Mine took less than an around. My Dr put me on a strict pre op liquid diet

It's a small red pellet size gel capsule

This is my second day in recovery I have colace gel tablets the doctor suggested I puncture the tablets but it's disgusting I keep vomiting. Any suggestions? Can I take them whole?

Don't give up on dieting

Luckily I haven't had gas. My Dr said he didn't have to use a lot on me

I just had surgery on the 8th and I'm having the same problem sleeping. Someone suggested sleeping in a chair with an ottoman I'm going to try that tonight. I'm a side sleeper as well

I found it thanks Which surgery did you have
