Ok Good! My trash can was blowing all over the place outside because it was real windy. I had to go get it from somebody else's property. It felt real light. It is plastic and was empty. I believe it weighed About 5 lbs. I just want to be sure everything should be OK.

How many lbs were anyone told not to lift and how long?

Oh ok. I did 2 days liquid pre op

AWESOME!!!!

Congratulations [emoji3]! Just keep walking. It helps with gas pains.

Why are you on liquids for 2 weeks post op.? On 7 day post op I was started on puree With no problems and 3 more days I will be started on soft foods which will be 14 days post op.

Could be from anesthesia still in system. I told anesthesiologist to give me something for nausea and vomiting.

You look GREAT [emoji3]!!!

All I know is my primary DR. Had to write a letter recommending this surgery would be good for me based on my medical problems. He knew I tried many attempts to lose Weight but failed. This letter was also given to surgeon. I had also joined a gym. I did everything and still had to get approval before surgery. They still had to review. everything. They required I do 7 month program.

After surgery I went 3-4 times a day. Now I am on puree and noticed it slowed down. I go 1-2 times a day now.

Congratulations

I gained 7 lbs when return home after surgery. It is from all the fluid they pump in you to keep you hydrated. But I lost the 7lbs plus 4 lbs in 7 days. Make sure you get 64 fl Oz of liquid in or close to it everyday. If lightheadedness continues than call your DR.

You will do fine. A new journey [emoji3]!

Lesson learned! I told a lot of people thinking they would be happy for me because of my health. BUT instead I got a lot of negative response. I heard jealousy and envy from some people. BUT that's ok because this is my life and I know what is best for me. These people have health issues themselves. I can't worry about what people think.

I can understand feeling good after surgery because I felt really great!!! BUT there are some limitations to what you can do do you can heal on the inside. You should have consulted with your DR. Before going skiing. I would have been afraid of falling and shaking my body up which could cause harm. Maybe you should have scheduled your surgery after skiing.

I was you'd to use Flintstone Chewable multi vitamin (2 a day) Good price at Walmart.

Thank you[emoji3]!

I started on puree but only ate yogurt with protein powder and chocolate pudding with protein powder. I am going to try tuna with fat free mayonnaise tomorrow. So far everything going down fine!

Could be from anesthesia. I had many surgeries and anesthesia made me nauseated for several days. Before I went in for surgery I told the anesthesiologist to give me something for nausea. He did. I had no vomiting or nausea at all and I am 9 days post op.

I had ground turkey pattie Greens and mashed Cauliflower. No bread no starch and enjoyed It. It was a good healthy meal. Before liquid diet [emoji3].

You Go Girl[emoji3]!!! You look great!!!

You are doing great!!!! Don't get disappointed. This is a journey. You are better than what you started with before surgery.[emoji23]

I cleaned my house. My husband helped with Bringing laundry basket up and down stairs to wash. My vacuum is light but my husband lifts that for me where I need it. But everyone is different so do what you know is better for you.

I think everyone should respect each others opinion. True! Everybody is different on what they can handle and can't. I learned since using this support Group that a lot of people are told to do different things by NUT And surgeon pre and post op. Which is correct according to that particular person. BUT the core of it all is we all are having WLS. We should be building each other up and not tearing each other Down. We all have something in common.
