    I haven't told anyone

    I found unbelievable support when I started telling family and friends. Initially I didn’t want anyone to know but, it really turned out to be a huge help psychologically and emotionally. It also helped me follow the rules.
  2. Had my surgery 11/20, to sum it up so far, I’m amazed how great I feel. Few days of discomfort at its worst, the more I walked the better I felt. Took 2 pain pills the first 2 days, 1/2 at a time, after that nothing needed. Drinking was slow but by 11/23 I was able to get 64oz+ a day in no problem. Started on stage 2 eating, no problem, no nausea, no pain. My mantra is simple, follow the rules. You’ll do great.....
  3. I found the more you walk, the better you feel. By day 3 post-op, pain was at most occasional discomfort. Good luck
  4. Had mine on 11/20. I prepared myself following the rules, lost weight and stuck to the preop diet. Surgery was ok, no problems. I had an umbilical hernia repair done and that was sore until Thursday. Drinking was a slow process. A learning process. Little sips, spaced part. Three days later I was drinking the protein drinks it’s out any difficulty, taking my time. Water went down slower, still does, but I am drinking enough. On stage II of the post op diet and having no difficulty, feel great, lots of energy, no pain. If I eat too fast my body lets me know to slow down, gas pain. (Not horrible pain) My pain goes away with arm movement above my head real quick. I’m still learning but very happy. 1st week loss is about 17lbs.
  5. Same, 1wk p/o and no trouble drinking. Slow the first couple days out and now, no problems drinking or swallowing pills. No pain, no constipation, feel great!!!
