    I felt the same way. What was most compelling on my mind was that it was PERMANENT, no going back. But, at my age of 56, and wanting to be around for my kids and grandkids, it was a purposeful decis

One especially interesting aspect of the pre-op liquid diet is that you can loose some serious weight. I lost 30 lbs just on the 2 week liquid diet. That jump starts mental acceptance, at least did for me.

Hi Mindy,

How did your surgery go?

  • 2 weeks later...

My surgery went well it's been 3 weeks and I'm recovering very well... The two lower incisions are the most painful and take the longest to heal but it's not something I can't handle.... My doctor told me I can go back to work on light duty for about 3 weeks and that I can go to the gym... I just have to be careful with my core... I was told that at two months I would feel completely healed... Can't wait :)) the toughest thing I'm going through is finding foods I can purée and enjoy as well :))

I do hot yoga, was revision too from Lapband to sleeve dr said I could start again in 2 weeks, I'm hot yoga you do so much core work I really think 2 weeks isn't enough for me to go in! I think dr doesn't understand what hot yoga is
