Hi Amanda, I was just wondering what types of restrictions do you still have at months out? The May 27th I will be 2 months out. Thanks!

My first appointment was on Jan 25th and my surgery was on March 27th of this year so just a few months. One thing I have noticed is that if you are using insurance and start at the beginning of a...

I am fortunate I did not have any problems with nausea at all. I made a point to mention to the anesthesiologist that I would rather be in pain than be nauseous and she adjusted the drugs. I am...

I'm so excited for you! Get plenty of rest and walk when you can. What a wonderful healthy life you have ahead of you!

I would check with your doctor's office. They all seem to have their own set of guidelines. I was allowed 1 cup of coffee a day but I'm not a big coffee drinker so I just did not have any.

So glad to hear things are looking up! Sending blessings your way!

There is a movie on Netflix called "What the Health" My hubby and I watched this and decided to try and go vegetarian in February a little over a month before my sleeve. I printed off a bunch of...

The liquid diet was not that bad for me I just kept drinking plenty of water and drinking 5 Premier Protein shakes a day. My activity level was low so that may have helped. I really pushed the...

Hi All,
On Monday of this week I went to my first post op visit and everything check out well and I am on to the Puree food stage. For some reason this part of the process seems challenging to me. ...

I used the spray Biotene. I thought it would be easier when laying in bed after the surgery.

Welcome! I also had my surgery on March 27th!

I had my surgery on March 27th and the first day at home I was really sore but I had also decided on my own I did not need the pain meds they sent me home with. I changed my mind and started taking...
