New to the WLS 50 and over

Thanks to all of you for welcoming me.  I do have a couple of questions regarding food.  I'm sure a lot of this will be covered by my doctor, but what have been your experiences with how you did after surgery.  I know it's liquids, and soft foods, but did you guys get sick when eating?  And what about exercise, how soon were you up and about and does it help when excess skin?

Hi Charlene, and welcome to the group.  One of my grand-daughter's is named Charlene, and goes by "Charlie".  Your name will be easy for me to remember.  The most exercise I get honestly is walking, but I really don't have a serious problem with excess skin.  Genetics I think.  I'm just really happy to look good in my clothes.  I have not gotten sick, so can't help you there.

Thanks for the info.  Do you mind if I ask what type of surgery you had, how long ago and how much weight have you lost?  Sorry to ask so many questions, but that seems to be what I do most.  I'm really looking forward to my appt Tuesday.  I can't wait to see how long this whole process will be until I get a surgery date.  I'm so ready!
