Love a girl that sees a opening and takes it! Lol. I agree that everyone is different! I was driving the next day because I never used pain medication. My doctor told me if I felt like walking to go ahead! He told me to listen to my body, it will let me know what I could or couldn't do. I was able to mow my lawn with my self propelled mower 3 days later. I would say not to push your body because someone tells you that you should be feeling a certain way at a certain point! Again, listen to YOUR body it will let you know! However, if your feeling great and would like to capitalize on your surgery by " faking it" with your family a few days, your secret is safe with me!

Thank you everyone for the recommendations on restrictions. I'm going to confirm with my family tonight that everyone who responded on the thread highly recommended all those restrictions plus a few more! I live on Royalty Street so I have the queen, prince, king, princess living with me. It will be a nice change seeing them running around for a few days waiting on me.

Work it girlfriend!

Funny thing is I did the same thing with my husband. His secretary wants to have LBS since she found out our insurance will cover it. My husband went and told her she couldn't b/c she couldn't take that much time off.lol

I went and had a talk with her and explained that I was playing it up.

Really he only missed the first night of dinner, but I made him carry all the groceries and laundry (after I did it),

poor baby suffered so. LMAO

Ok, I'm gonna agree with u. I know, it's pushing it a bit, but when I did stuff around the house my incisions really hurt. I even got more pain meds. Took a full 3 Weeks for me to feel like myself. I was banded 12/20 and just started at the gym yesterday. So, I say take it easy!! Best of luck. :)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
