HAPPY SURGIVERSARY TO ME! TWO MONTHS AND 50LBS SW:448 CW:398 GW:248

I am 8 weeks post op today and I have the same problem. I was worried I might have a blood clot but it isn't a constant pain. I was thinking I need more exercise.

I had a hotdog with no bun. Cut into very small pieces.I'm not sure about the kraut

So...are you saying without the sleeve? I was following a high Protein low carb diet prior to my surgery. This is similar to what I'm following, however now I'm eating smaller portions. I don't have the free will to eat larger portions like I did before or have a carb breakdown. **I just noticed your starting weight. I can understand why you feel that way. Good Luck to you.

Honestly I did it once when I was on my pureed stage. Everyone was eating baked ziti and chicken. I chewed both didn't swallow and spit it out. It gave me the flavor and I was okay. I was craving chewing badly and although it may sound gross to some I don't think it is or will lead to a eating disorder. I mean heck most of us already have some type of eating disorder. My adice is if you do it don't make a habit out of it. Your tummy is still fraigle and needs to heal properly. Hugs

A word of advice....I was on pain meds (TRAMADOL) for a year and a half before my surgery. I was unaware that pills could not be swallowed post-op. I didn't think to ask my doctor about a game plan after surgery for my pain med. I was so scared. I found out tramadol could not be crushed. I was discharged home on Roxicet (no refills) wlbut that was for stomach pain. I went through a withdrawl period. It wasnt fun

I feel like I'm messing up. With the other stages I knew what I could and could not eat. I feel so lost. I can't eat much of anything but I don't feel like I'm doing it right. What are you eating at 7 weeks?

I know how you are feeling. My day was Memorial Day. But even if you tried you would be in so much pain. Just think of the good thing you have just done for yourself!

I have plain yogurt and I think I'm going to mix a packet of Liption Onion Soup mix in it! Yummy! Kinda like sour cream! I never think out of the box.

What kind of port?

Yes I do! (smile) Lots of greek yogurt and tuna salad. Not very much of anything. I've had chicken, ground beef and turkey, and fish (fried )

Woke up this morning and was back at 405. Lost 3lbs in my sleep!! LOL I hope the stall is broken!!

That's a NIGHTMARE!

I'm 7 weeks post - op and I thought I was at a stall until I hopped on the scale tonight and I'm up 3lbs. No Bueno! I blame me starting regular food. Although I hated it I did better with a limited amount of food I can eat. I gotta shake this because it's messing with my head. I'm currently 408 starting weight was 448. Before gain I was 405 and excited to leave the 400's for good. Why can't I escape and get to the 300's?

What are the benefits of a wonton wrapper

I know this is a difficult time. I pray you have a strong support system. Keep positive! Thank God you found out. Everything happens for a reason. Good Luck with your surgery. I pray the Docs found it early enough. Find strength when you like at your daughter not sadness. Hugs

Great Job! How is your skin holding up?

I feel like I'm dehydrated. I try really hard to drink! I'm making a conscious effort because I battled constipation this weekend and dark urine. Since we are ingesting more Protein we need to protect our kidneys and colon. SF Ice pops, Water, crystal light etc; I must admit I get a little thrown off course because I eat every two hours and then you can't drink before you eat and after you eat then I forget to drink in between. My life is hectic but I have to make it work. We all do.

I like Cardio Party http://www.4shared.com/video/eS7LfUcz/Cardio_Party_Mix_1aviff.html%20

Curious? Why are you on liquids? I see you have a 77lbs loss? How far along post-op are you?

Great List! I'm 6 weeks post-op and have had similar eperiences. I'm looking forward to reaching this milestone.

I've made this mistake and forgot I'm not suppose to drink soon after eating and up came my drink and then the food. SMH It's difficult for me not to drink before and after eating but I'm a work in progress.

I was sleeved on 5/17/12. I'm down 43lbs. I'm still on the Soft Stage and do to graduate to Regular food on July 7th! Yay!! I still get a little burning/sore sensation to the right of my larger incision. Doc says it's where they stitched my stomach internally and it's still healing. I was told I can start swallowing pills but I'm scared. I'm deficient in Vitamins A, D and Iron. I start taking the Vitamin D soft gels on Monday!! Gulp! It's still a challenge to get in my fluids. I feel amazing. No pain, I walk, I stand with no problem. I'm so happy I did this!!
