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. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
