K so questions if any of you have had the surgery or thoughts about post op. ok so I love to cook for people. As odd as this sounds I love having peeps over and watching them crack into a fresh vanilla creme brûlée. I am a little scared that I will lose my passion for cooking. Weird I know but /shrug well anyway....

Ok so next, have you guys told anyone at work? I have not because my boss is very type a personality and if he is against it I would t have got the time off. I mean, I am sure everyone will notice soon, the nurses live hanging out with me, I'm guessing because I help out and try to make their job easier.

Ok so I know this is stupid but I enjoy having a beer once in a while and I know that after a whole post op a beer it's the end of the world but har any I you tried it?

Ok bowel stuff is mildly concerning because with my job, I cant just go hey don't die yet I gotta poo. So I Guess I will just have to be careful what I eat. Can we take anti diahrea meds post op?

Weight lifting is my last question. I am really getting into the weight lifting and can't wait to drop off the weight and see what muscles lie under there! My question for you is, how soon after surgery can we start lifting?

Ok done with all my questions now take care guys!

I love to cook and I still cook for my hubby. I actually don't want what I cool but I still love doing it!!

I don't work but if you think it will cause problems at work then maybe be careful who you tell or tell them after you have your surgery that way they know what's going on if you are having tummy issues.

My dr said that everyone is different with alcohol. I haven't tried yet but I have heard of several people who drink a beer every now and then and are fine. The only thing is, is that you need to find out how far post op you should be before trying. I am also a beer drinker so I would like to know too!

I actually haven't had an issue with diarrhea. Everyone is different though. My bowel functions really haven't changed much.

I was told that at 4 weeks post of I could start lifting weights as long as it didn't make my stomach Hurt and as long as I wasn't in any pain.

pre surgery weight 310 • RNY 6/20/2012 • current weight 280
