I took 2 weeks off. I found it to be the perfect amount of time. I was doing fine physically after one week but took the other week to adjust to all the changes.

No reason to dread a colonoscopy. If you can handle VSG surgery, you can definitely handle a colonoscopy. Its quick, simple, and painless. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

This might have to be my next option!

Normal jitters that everyone has before surgery. Things will be fine! There's not going to be food that you "Can never eat again" . Theres going to be things that you probably should refrain from for the first 6-9 months but it will be worth it! Hope your surgery went well!

Well. I have pretty much stuck within the limits of what I should be eating. I ventured out a couple times (once on Thanksgiving and once on my mom's bday) My restriction is very string though so i could not venture far. I definitely need to pick up my game a bit with going to the gym. I attend all my schedule sessions with my personal trainer but I'd like to be doing more cardio on own on days that I do not see my trainer.

Yes, this sounds normal to be. I has gastric sleeve not bypass but still experience a ton of back pain for a couple weeks following my surgery. I think it had to do with how much I was laying down while in the hospital. I personally didn't experience hunger until about one month post op but form what others have said on this forum, experiencing hunger so early is normal. It all depends on the person.

Used to love going out to eat, now I hate it. Used to look forward to meal times, now I could care less. Used to be self-concision about my body, now I'm getting used to it. A few things that have changed at 2 months post op.

I find the whole experience of going out to eat after having surgery to be the worst! I agree with @notmyname, try drinking a protein shake beforehand! Easy way to enjoy the show without having to worry about the food!

Does your Walmart have the isopure powder? That's the only other brand I find halfway decent.

Nope, no history of anything pre op. My first rounds of tests aren't until January. The water definitely may be what's bringing me down.

My family came for a visit on Saturday, we went to some festive event and my mom bought cheesecake. I had a spoonful of it. Tasted gross and I don't know whether it was because of my surgery or because the women who made it did a bad job? Hmm. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Not enough water but I've been working on it. Unfortunately, only hot beverages seem to go down nicely and I hate tea. I've been stuck drinking the bariatric hot chocolate and warmed up water.

Yeah, I've been doing cardio at the gym and meeting with the personal trainer and it's been wiping me out but I even find myself tired on day I don't go to the gym??
