Started my preop diet Aug 25th. Weighed 385. Had surgery on Aug 30th. (yes I was suppossed to start a couple days sooner, but it was hard) I did cheat one day and had a cheeseburger and fries. On Aug 30th before surgery, I weighed 369. Today I am at 363. Had surgery Thursday, came home Friday, walked a mile Saturday, walked 2 miles Sunday, walked 3 miles yesterday. I am almost pain free in my abdomen. craving food, but the thought of throwing up scares me from trying anything. I have only thrown up like 3 times in my life. 39 year old male by the way. Everything is going smooth and easy. Oh, and I am back at work today and having no issues. One thing I will say is I have done everything the doctors have asked. Protein shakes, creamed soups, water, sugar free jello and pudding, and thats pretty much it. I can't see into the future, but for now, this was very easy and pretty much painless.

I am happy for you and I hope I recover as well as you did!!

pudding? Oh I would have killed during my liquid stage for pudding! No one told me lol

Congrats!

can't see into the future, but for now, this was very easy and pretty much painless.

Mrteger1

wow - things are going terrific for you

all that walking you've been doing - great early exercise

soon, when you want to resume a more rigorous fitness program - take it slow - remember you are recovering from majory surgery

make sure dr. approves you before you start more strenuous exercise in the future

don't rush into anything

sounds like you are a real go-getter

back to work this soon after WLS - you must feel great

keep up the terrific work

see you around the board

good luck
