Excited n nervous

I'm tomorrow, too!

Good luck!! I am 3 weeks out and it has been crazy, but worth it.

Follow the post op instructions--and you'll do great. The first week for me was a little rough, but after that I felt 100 times better. Get lots of rest, remember to get up and walk around and try and sip fluids. My only regret: Not doing this 10 years sooner.

Sending you positivity and wellness,

Leilie

BE PATIENT.

Being uncomfortable will pass.

Being tired and worn out will pass.

Yes, you will be able to eat normally again.

No, you won't be able to get all your Protein or fluids in at first. Fluids are more important early out, so work harder on that.

Your body will lose at its own pace. Don't compare yourself to everyone else. And yes, the larger losses at first do slown down to more normal weight loss after a few weeks.

You will have your first stall about 3-6 weeks out. It's normal, and you're not doing anything wrong.

Congrats and enjoy living your new life!

I'm tomorrow, too!

yay

Thamk u all

Congrats! I'm 3 weeks our. The first 4 days I couldn't stand trying to get protein drinks in and just took it very, very slowly. By day 5 something clicked and things became easier. My biggest piece of advice it to walk often - the most painful part of the surgery is just getting all of the gas out that they fill you with. On a scale of 1 to 10 my pain never hit more than a 3, which was a pleasant surprise

Think good thoughts before you go to sleep.

Don't buy a ton of stuff. 7 months later I still have stuff from before surgery.

Rest, even if you feel awesome, even if you have a ton of energy. Rest.
