Hi, I received a wedding invitation a couple of weeks ago. I am not sure how reply. My surgery is on July 17 and the Wedding is on August 5th. I have no idea if I would be ready to attend a wedding 3 weeks after surgery. What are your thoughts?

You'll be fine to go. I'm almost 4 weeks out and feel fine. I've been gardening, painting, shopping. Just remember to take Snacks with you so you don't make bad food choices.

I was 67 and walked the mall 4 days after the sleeve. I was in the hospital 8 hrs and was in no pain at all. I would plan on going and if you get the "flu" and can't make it, so be it. Trust me no one will pay attention to what you eat or not eat. Mingle and enjoy. Eat before you go.

I will still be on soft foods, not sure what is on the menu.

Just eat before you go and it won't matter.

You should be ok to go just plan your eating which will be almost nothing and no alcohol if it's that type of wedding.

      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! 😞
