I am having my surgery November10th. I have already been approved by my insurance just waiting.

Please don't feel guilty after eating, you are doing the best you can at the moment.

Just stay focused on staying hydrated and the rest will come.

Are you still on full liquids?

What kind of plan does your surgeon have you on?

For me it has gotten easier and I'm mostly focused liquids first.

yes am supposed to be on soft foods so I drink soups and protein shakes

That's how I was last week. And honestly you just have to keep plugging away at it.

The soups I could eat almost a whole cup, but wouldn't go farther than that-even though I felt I could. Since starting puree today I get full crazy fast! It's a huge change.

Just stay hydrated and eat as much protein as your tummy will allow. It will get easier. Don't beat yourself up because you are doing great!

My surgeon said hitting the water targets was most important followed by protein and vitamins.

I'm sorry if that wasn't much help...

Thanks it feels better to hear and read other people's comment. I am looking forward to losing weight. I will follow the advice on keeping hydrated thank you this is very helpful.

Have you guys started exercising?

I've spoken with medical staff which includes nurses. No one will answer my question regarding intercourse. When is it safe to resume?

My paperwork says when you comfortable/ready you may resume.

Have you guys started exercising?

Yes, but mostly cardio.

How long you do cardio for? & how many days?

Yes, but mostly cardio.

how many days and how long?

Have you guys started exercising?

I have spoken to a few other sleeve peers and one of the girls said she did 5 days post op. I waited about two weeks. As long as ur body feels like is fine. It should be fine. I did felt exhausted the next day but that was to be expected. Just don't do much of the effort. ????

I started walking first. when 2 weeks after surgery I started riding my bike for 30 mins everyday and weights on my arms every other day. I still walk everyday too. Hope this helps.

Yes...I work out 5 days a week which includes: 1 HR. Carson, 2day weight training. Surgery was 11/18/14.

Thanks were u cleared by your surgeon for weight training so soon after your surgery?

I just do extremely light for my legs and upper body. I didn't do weights until my 3rd week. No more than 20lbs.
