Yes I went back after one week could have gone back earlier had very little pain or fatigue and I commute 2 hours each way

I had surgery in April i would say that the pain was a lot less than i imagined. Sure the first fee days were uncomfortable but i never needed any pain pills just a lot of gas X and i know you hear this from everyone but you must mover around

Good luck! I had similar stats (5’2 220lbs) had surgery 4/2022 and down 40 lbs feeling great. Best decision ever.

I never told anyone at work what surgery I had just that I was having a “procedure” I’m a private person and I didn’t think it was anyones business.

I put a 1/2 scoop of Miralax powder in with my morning coffee and it works perfectly.

Sounds like restriction, and your stomach could still be a little swollen. What if you try eating small amounts but more often? I find that if I eat a small amount I get hungry again in a few hours. Maybe that will help you get in all your protein and calories? How do you do with your vitamins? Can you get them down?

Hi- I was sleeves 4/19 and I don’t have issues eating or drinking. Do you have restrictions when trying to eat or drink most things? Getting full too quickly or sick? What happens when you have a protein shake?

That’s good to hear! I’m down 20lbs since my week visit to my dr I haven’t weighed myself since but I can tell I have lost weight so that’s good. But like you said I will just have to be extra careful measuring food portions.

I’m 3 weeks out also and I can also eat like that with no issues. Like you, fish is on my “soft diet” list and I can take pills, gulp water and other drinks with no problem. I almost wish I had more restrictions eating.

Out of curiosity, are you consuming a lot of sugar free items? I find that for some reason when I do I cannot get rid of bloat.

You’re welcome- I found it to be so helpful after surgery.

Have you tried a heating pad on the area? That helped break up some residual stubborn gas for me.

Congrats on a successful survey! Now listen to your body and rest!

I’m sorry to hear that you are in such pain. I never had any issues swallowing pills or water after surgery so I would have to think maybe you are very swollen. I took homeopathic arnica tabs that dissolved under my mouth before and after surgery (dr approved) to minimize swelling. Hang in there and just rest and it will get better.

It’s one month for my surgeons office until the lift restrictions are lifted.
