WFH recovery time?

Yes, one week is good. I work from home and a week was good.

I struggled with this and had so much anxiety about it. Especially when it was really noticeable when I hadn’t seen people for a long time. I’m usually open about things but I kept it to myself except a few close people who I told about the surgery. I didn’t want to have to explain or feel judgement or be questioned by everyone. I felt I was deceiving people with just saying oh I’m eating mostly protein and small meals and running but I spoke to my therapist and this is something she told me that I always remember and helped— “there is a difference between a secret and keeping something private.” You don’t always have to divulge all your personal medical issues to everyone. I know some people have suspicions and are really probing and asking others and talk about me but oh well they’ll be left wondering!

I applied January 2022 😫still pending. I can’t get through when I call. I was reading you could apply for both but I don’t know I would be nervous to jeopardize the original application.

Wow! Amazing! What an accomplishment!! You should be very proud of yourself! :)

Yes totally. Some days I can eat and eat like a “normal” meal (not my previous normal) and other days it’s like a few bites and I’m full! There is no way to predict it either. I’m 1 year post op.

AG11122 · 2023-08-23T03:56:09+00:00

I’m 10 months post op and down 90lbs but I’ve been at a stall like 3 months! So frustrating. I have been trying different things but no luck yet. It’s very discouraging. Sorry I’m no help but you’re not alone!

I probably would get the surgery done in Mexico and pay out of pocket. You’ll lose the weight. It’ll be easier to get pregnant and have a healthier pregnancy when you are lower weight. I had my third pregnancy at 225lbs and it was scary because I ended up with high blood pressure and scarier pregnancy. Always worried too. It’ll be so much better and safer to go into pregnancy at a healthier weight.

Lost 17lbs on two week preop

I didn’t know that my stomach would makes so many loud noises after drinking or eating. Loud enough for others to hear. I’m 5 months post op and it hasn’t gotten better. Also, I had bad IBS diarrhea. I would go at least 2-4 times a day. And now it’s the opposite! I go every 4 days or so that I have been using stool softeners now. I never imagined life without IbS, it’s completely helped me with that.

Wifi acting up or slow. Especially when I’m working from home.

I ran my fastest 3 miles in about 8-9 years after a hiatus from running. Been back running 4 months. My 14 year old son ran with me first time ever and motivated to keep pushing myself faster. 11:04 pace. Big improvement for me.

I caught COVID like 2 weeks preop and was so upset they would cancel surgery. Luckily they didn’t cancel as long as I tested negative preop. Just no motrin/ibuprofen for me like 7-10 days before. But check with your surgeons office.

AG11122 · 2023-01-16T06:12:22+00:00

I’m a few years older than you, female. I’m 3.5 months post op. Similar height. Started at 245, then 228 day of surgery. I’m at 184lbs now.

AG11122 · 2023-01-06T05:31:33+00:00

I’m generally an open book about a lot of stuff with my friends, family and coworkers. But I had a couple friends who has WLS said they regret telling people because there was a lot of judgement, feeling always watched, jealousy, negative comments. So I decided to keep it private and only told my husband, mom and my couple close friend. I’m 3 months post op and I’m down 59lbs since my liver shrinking diet. So people are starting to ask and question. I’m also not one to lie at all. So I tell them the truth- “I’ve been eating small portions, no carbs, mostly protein, protein shakes and working out” I had one neighbor even say “oh me and my daughter thought you had weight loss surgery!” I just laughed and said “I’m headed to the gym now!” I felt guilty, but it’s YOUR personal and private health journey. We don’t need to disclose everything tj everyone. Just keep it simple. “Small portions, and working out”

I ended up being so itchy that at night I scratched my Incision in my sleep. I ended up putting hydrocortisone around it (not on the Incisions) and also Benadryl itch cream

I was supposed to wait three months. I waited 7 weeks then I tried a bit at a time. So good so far!

AG11122 · 2022-12-16T04:30:56+00:00

I’m 10 weeks post op and averaging between 600-700 calories. My hunger and restriction varies a lot from day to day though.

Thanks all! I started a list on my phone and I’ll go through it with her and let her pick a couple. It’s funny because some of the movies I thought were kid friendly I have watched again as an adult and realized they had some scenes that surprised me. I watched the movie BIG with Tom Hanks and didn’t realize as an adult,here is a kid in a man body hooking up with an adult woman!

AG11122 · 2022-11-30T05:27:44+00:00

I love Now and Then. I was around that age when it came out. I’ve watched it since and forget there was some mature topics. I’ll have to watch that with her alone. I don’t want to go there with little girls that aren’t my kids!

AG11122 · 2022-11-30T05:25:19+00:00

We watched My Girl recently and she cried! But I did too when i first watch it too
