Possibly...bit my is literally growling. Loudly. I'll check out those posts. Thanks.

Good to know I'm not alone!! We got this!

I was supposed to be discharged the next day after surgery. Ended up getting a migraine and vomiting for hours so I needed another day for fluids but yes that sounds normal. Good luck!

Hello I'm 4 weeks post op and starving today! I havent felt hunger since the surgery and just wanted to make sure this is normal. Super silly maybe but it scares me because I dont want to pick back up bad habits.

Also use a heating pad!! Helps relax the muscle to pass the gas best of luck!

Here's the cold hard truth...as a for never struggled healthy weihjtrd person you'll never understand. I cant speak for your husband but I will tell you my thoughts as an overweight person. It is so overwhelming you dont know where tho start so therefore giving up is a EASIER option. Do I hate myself? Everytime I look in the mirror. Am I disgusted at what I've let myself become? Every day. The only difference in your husband and I is that I've tried. Every. Single. Thing. WLS seems to literally be my only option. I'm hoping it works for upir husband in the way it will work for me. To retrain the brain and the gut to think and feel differently. The only thing I can say to help you understand is for an already severely overweight person it's like starting out with an F and trying to bring that grade to an A. With surgery you get to start with an A and have to work to keep it. Both ways might seem feasible but when you're already defeated the second option gives you hope. Best of luck to BOTH of you!

Sooo excited for you!

Thanks!! Good luck today cant wait to hear from you and how you're doing!

Hi there, Newbie here. My surgery is March 10 and I'm starting the liver reduction diet tomorrow. I have a few questions... Should I start taking bariatric vitamins now? Should I reevaluate my anxiety meds due to the possibility of nonabsorption? What should I bring for recovery? (My surgery's out of state) What should I expect as far as mobility immediately after surgery? Thanks in advance!! Amanda
