My surgery was October 27th, 2010. I weighed 241 on day of surgery. Today I weigh 195. My surgeon says I am doing better than the average. So I think you are doing fine. Everyone loses differently, but we seem to be hanging together.

Anyone else have a runny nose when full?

I most definitely recommend Caltrate Chewables in berry flavor, I just bought a bottle at Kroger, it is 600 mg plus Vitamin D. 90 tablets were $6.99, They taste like smarties candy. Should be available most anywhere. -
Welcome! Best of Luck to you on Thursday. ~Amy

Hi Nina, I also had my surgery on Wednesday, 10/27. I am feeling pretty good, but I have been experiencing those back pains like you described, as well as a pain in my upper right collar bone. The back pains are most likely gas and are relieved by moving around. Heat also helps. My pain in the collar bone is due to having a hiatal hernia repaired. So far, I am doing pretty well with my fluids. But I just today attempted to try a Protein shake.(Not sure I am going to finish it ). My doctor told me that staying hydrated was much more important than the protein. So far I have managed my fluids and all my Vitamins. So tomorrow, I am going to try and add in a walk around the block, to help get the rest of that gas out. Once I can get this walking thing worked out, then I will focus on Protein shakes, Good Luck!

Fortunately Mary, I am off until November 10th atleast. So I get to rest for several days. I plan on focusing on fluids, protein, vitamins, and walking........

I am from Kentucky, but had my surgery in Tennessee. They actually had me put one of those Patches behind my ear, before I went into surgery. I am 5 days post op and have yet to have any nausea at all. So I would definitely aske about getting a patch.

Congrats! Keep up the great work!

I agree with Tiffykins!~ Breathe!!! It is okay. Surgery is definitely NOT a walk in the park, but you will be fine. Just think, after tomorrow, you can join us on the losers side. Hmm! Never thought I would enjoy being a LOSER
