32 over sewn is what I was told.

My post op diet has been less than it should be. I have had bad reflux which has made it hard to eat and drink. I am taking prilosec and that has helped ALOT in the last 2 weeks. Basically for 5 days I was clears only, then 6 days full liquid, mostly protien shakes (muscle milk lite, 8oz 15 gr protein) then 11days out I started soft stuff. But misty stayed liquids. At 21 days I started fish and pureed tuna salad. And slowly adding whatever in. My day looks like this Breakfast 4 oz Greek yogurt 10gr protein and then I sip a protein shake on my way to work 15gr Lunch 4 shrimp for almost 20 gram protein Dinner hard to eat much but I have been doing 3 oz bake salmon or chicken. 12-15 gr protein. I have a low calorie Gatorade with me all day and am finally getting about 60 oz liquid in. So that's been it. I have tried, taco meat, cheeses, fish, hamburger patty, etc. Mostly I eat meat, I have a hard time getting food in so I have focused on protein mostly. I am doing a chewable multi vitamin, prilosec and that's been it.

Well 1 month out, I'm down 47 lbs from 273 to 226!!!! It is just surreal. My blood sugar has returned to 81-91 each morning, I am 6 lbs from my lowest adult weight!!!! I'm feeling good and shrinking daily. What a great month it's been.

Coffee was on my clear liquids list lol

I love coffee!!! But not just any coffee. I love it so much I roast my own coffee beans. There is just nothing like fresh beans! Heck I even have a coffee molecule tattoed on my forearm. :-)

Sry your having to deal with this. I have been stalled for two weeks. Twice I thought it was broken only to see the scale go BACK UP!!! Soo frustrating.

Here is how I made it 2 tbs soy sauce 2 tsp honey 1tsp miso (if u can't get real miso u can get a powdered soup version that will work just use more) 1 tsp Wasabi powder (could have used more) 1/2 tsp rice vinegar 1" cube of fresh Ginger minced finely All ingredients mixed in a bowl And then pour over 4oz salmon filet left for 1 hr. Them salmon moved to baking pan two tbs of marinade poured over salmon and backed 10 min at 425 it was fantastic. Next time more wasabi. :-)

Oops 1 tsp miso I u can get real Miso u can get a miso powder soup mix that Would work

I can't tell you this per a VA Dr. When you have any gastro intestinal surgery and swalloing issues. The thinner the liquid rhe harder to drink. Water being the absolute hardest. Counter-intuitive were her words. Advice? She say try drinks that are low acid and more like low cal Gatorade, vitamin water, even apple juice

Yeah, I did the full version still can attach through the iPhone. Oh well. I posted in the gallery and once my computer is back up I will be able to post them in a message. :-)

Yeah my iPhone can't seem to use that function

Well I post two pics to my album but can figure how to get them here. I'm using an iPhone.

Thx for the encouragement. Yeah, I know I can't be gaining weight, lol. Heck I am still Struggling to get anything in. I think that's part if ut I am not getting enough fluid in fir my body to let go of it. But I know it will there. :-)

Glad your home and feeling better.

I hears from him yesterday, he is doing well, gas pain like everyone, but everything went fine

Go for you, I would love to be in the drawing, I love art, and adore having original works

You know the interesting thing here is as a male, I see it sooo differant. I wouldn't have gone to lunch with a women that tried that approach with me, but I would LOVE IT! Lol. I would not feel at all uncomfortable, and it would probably make me walk even taller. :-) heck yeah! Of course I want to be sen for me inside but heck the first time some woman does a double take or hits in me like that I am celebrating!!! :-). Take it for what it is. Your looking good and men see it, grin, laugh, enjoying feeling desirable and enjoy the new you!

Well, I have lost the 2 lbs I gained, and 2 more. 235 this morning. :-). I am still having trouble getting much it. Seems I drink all day. Lol. I am going to get some pepsid today as reflux has been bad!

Well after losing 36 lbs in like 17 days my body seems to have said "stop the craziness!!!" lol. Monday I was 36 lbs down tuesday I was up a lb wed up another, And this morning back down to 36lbs lost. So I know it will pass, but wow did I get spoiled losing so much so fast lol! So things that I figure are factors. I am not getting anywhere near enough fluids and protien in. Though thelast two days I have gotten in about 40 grs protien and 60 oz liquid. I am considering attaching a garden drip system to a hat so it can drip water in my mouth all day. Lol. That would be a site to see. :-) I also have had really high salt content this week, I have been having a can of potted meat for lunch, 3 oz 15 gr protein but rhe salt content is really high soni suspect that is part of it. Anyway I was glad to see the scale go down today, hopefully it will Continue that direction
