Thank You All! I'm hoping to inspire others. I had a no flawed great experience with a fantastic surgeon! No pre op diet, no drain tubes, no insision pain. Stayed in hospital alone, was discharged to full duty the next day at 1:00 pm. I didn't even need the pain pills he sent me home with! I had real bad gas that was very discomforting to burp up but the infant gas drops helped with that.

Thank You ; ) I did not really do anything special. My surgeon was so cool that he told me to go at my own pace so I went to the gym only once a week. Walked on treadmill at a very fast pave for about 15 minutes the lifted weights for about 45 minutes.

I mostly skipped the liquid phase and went straight to sugar free oatmeal with flaxseed and low fat strawberry yogart to sweeten it up. I snack on mozzarella sticks, sf Jello, all natural Peanut Butter, skim milk, tuna, grilled fish, and 100 to 130 grams of Protein per day. I'm drinking about 32oz of Water per day shooting for 64oz perday.

I realized that colas, junk food and fast food made me fat. With that in mind I look at those things as poison now and do not consume any. I don't miss it either.

Six weeks post op and I'm off diabetic medication and no longer use sleep apnea bipap machine.

I'm sick with a bad cold right now but look forward to digging in deep at the gym as soon as I get well.

I'm not bragging but I'm a 6'2 big boned country boy that's always been strong as an ox. I had no problem doing 100lb sets of squats, presses, and pulls the week after my surgery. That's just me and everyone is different. The only exercise that I have avoided is doing sit ups and crunches. I want my mid section to be fully healed before I stress it.

I reluctantly bought four 2lb Body Fortress Protein powder for 14.99 each at Walmart. I will be switching to a better one as soon as I run out. It clumps' date=' taste gritty and has whey concentrate. I was told by 2 pro body builders to avoid anything that said whey concentrate. They said buy the whey isolate only.[/quote']

Thanks, I guess that's for body builder

      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.
