  1. Hey guys! So it has been a week since my surgery and I have some questions for everyone... I go to the doctor in one week for a followup appointment to make sure that everything is okay. I have started soft foods as of yesterday and will be on that for a week. Since surgery I had lost 6 pounds, but gained 2 pounds back within the past couple of days. Anyway, here are my questions. Does anyone have issues going to the bathroom? I drink regularly like I should be, sipping something at least every 15 minutes, and I still only very rarely go to the bathroom. Also, I haven't had a bowel movement since before the surgery. I am not sure what is going on or if I should be worried or not. Also, when did you not have pain with your port anymore? I'm still bruised and sore. I know everyone is different, but I was just curious to see if people had some of the same issues.
  2. Hey guys!!! My surgery is on November 15! My pre op diet is very strict compared to most that I have seen on this website. 3 protein shakes, I am doing muscle milk lite, and 8-10 glasses of water. So far I have lost 15 pounds. I cannot wait!
