I surely wouldn't recommend it for at least a year:)

I don't know about anyone else but I was back to almost normal activity by week 2. I went back to work 4 days afterwards and did fine, just a bit more tired.

Not sleeved yet but when I had my gallbladder surgery I vacuumed slowly at two weeks out, leaning on the washer to pull out wet clothes or kitchen sink while doing dishes took a little longer before it didn't hurt. Don't try to do yard work that early though...I set myself back for weeks after that! :blink:

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

      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! 😞
