  5. Did I do something wrong??

    whitneym912 replied to Deactivatedfatgal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I know my doctor was very adamant about taking 5-10 minutes between each pill. I know it sounds crazy, but I am about a week out, same as you, and I personally haven't thrown any pills up yet. Maybe you can try to space out your pills a bit. It is so hard for me to remember not to just take them as I would before surgery, but it is definitely a rule of thumb I have been following for sure. Wishing you so much luck in your journey!

  6. Recovery time

    whitneym912 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Hi all! I am on day 2 of being home and am starting to feel better each day. Even made it out of the house for a (short) walk! My question is, when did you start feeling like yourself/ "normal" again? My plan is to go back to work Tuesday of next week (6 days post op), have any of you returned to work around that time frame? Or do you recommend longer recovery time? I work in an office setting so not lifting anything really. What are your thoughts? Sorry for all of the questions but I know there are some real pros out there that may have sound advice [emoji4]

    Hi everyone! I am not sure if this has been answered anywhere already, but I thought I would ask if anyone has any pointers about the urination frequency. I have been going about every hour for the past several Hours. Is that normal? I feel like I always have to pee! Also, did anyone have crazy, what feels like pressure, on their bladder the day of surgery and into the next morning? I'm thinking it's gas, and am trying to walk around as much as I can. Thank you[emoji4]
