My doctor never told me I had no restictions after my op I just assumed that I couldn't eat anything. was on liquid diet for 1 month after surgery I don't know how I did it I didn't even cheat one time! I proved to myself that I do have what it takes

If your dr does not have a post op program ask your insurance most often times they do

I know how u feel. I got really stressed because my insurance study group said weigh and measure evertthing but my doctor said don't worry about it just eat lots of protien and eat until ur full. Also the more u stress less u will lose. It will come off I have not lost in 2 months. I'm gonna start more exercise see if that works keep ur head up
