I am 7 weeks out and have done very well. I have lost 47.8 pounds and am starting to feel so much better!! My problem right now is i don't want anything. I cna't find a drink that i reallyt like to drink, a food that i really want to eat or anythng. I desire NOTHING and almost feel like sometimes my stomach is nauseated. I take Nexium (mups) what i was told to take from Dr. Aceves, but i feel like i still have a lot of heartburn/refulx. I know i need to be eating 3 meals a day and getting the Protein i need, but how doi do it if i feel like i wanna gag every time i even think about food? Any advice is welcome and appreciated!!

I will be going back to work in a week. I will be on regular foods at that point and would love some input/sample menus for my work days. Typical work day is i wake up around 4:30p and leave for work at 6p. Get off at 7a and head home to sleep by about 9-10a and do it all over again. Would LOVE some help from anyone with experiance.:biggrin0:

to take that one last bite and be completely over full and miserable for what seemed like an eternity! It was like i knew immediately that it was too much. I went to bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. I totally learned my lesson. I will never let that happen again! I have also hit a little stall. I am going between 290.4 and 291.6 for the last 3 days....it's driving me crazy..lol. I have lost 30.4lbs since August 18, had surgery on August 21st, so i know i have no room to complain, but it does get frustrating to see it not moving..:biggrin0:.

i hope not i'm 2.5 weeks out and have been drinking out of a straw since about the 3rd or 4th day.

LOL...whataburger is also a Mississippi and Alabama thing....

Any suggestions for some post op (day 15) recipes? anything? nothing taste good, there isn't anythng i really want i look at other peoples plate and can almost gag...lol

What is up with all the gurgleing when eating???

BBJ....i totally see where your coming from....i was just ablew to have things like tomato juice and was wondering why can't i have tomato soup? Some things i don't get....:confused1:

Hi there...i'm a nurse and will be 1 week post op tomorrow. There is no way i could go back to work and be at 100% right now...i'm still very drained and weak and tire very easily. Good luck!

BBJ.....your only 2.5 weeks out and already getting chicken? and you went to Dr. Aceves?? No fair...i can't have it at 2.5 weeks....lucky you!

Tomato juice today and i swear it tasted like a milkshake!!! I haven't been having trouble with my juices...but just to get a new variety was awesome!!! This is my 6th day and i'm down 18.7 lbs already since 3 days before surgery!!:thumbup::thumbup::laugh0: I can't wait to get all my energy back and get to the gym i can so see some fine shopping sprees coming my way:lol0::lol0:

QUESTION?? How do i know exactly how much of vitamins....iron? b12? any of it ...i should be taking? Is there a chart somewhere? thanks in advance, Randa

THANK you both!!! I am so excited i almost could go to sleep now ....lol I have to be at the airport at 0500:))

I will be in the air on my way to San diego!! I am so excited! I haven't gotten nervous yet, actually i hate flying so that is the only anxiety i have at the moment. I'm sure once Friday night gets here i'll start getting the butterflies in the stomach. But for now i just can't wait to get this new chapter in my life started. This site and forum has been such a MAJOR wealth of information for me and hubby too. He won't admit he's been reading but by the things he says or ask me i know where he got it from:biggrin0:. So if ya think about it sat morning please say a small prayer for me:thumbup: Thanks, Randa
