WOW!!! How tall are you if you don't mind? I was around that weight on surgery date.

Congratulations you look fabulous!! What was you HW/SW/CW if you don't mind? I'm 6 weeks out and down about 30lbs. Clothes are shrinking and in loving it..feel terrific!

I eat several small meals a day...found this drink called Power Core (36 GMS of protein)...use that as one of my meals on the go.

It doesn't happen to everyone. If your feeling nauseated in the hospital tell them and they'll give you something for it...I did the first two days than no more. I think it was from the morphine.

Thanks for all these excellent suggestions...I've been taking 1 ducolax as needed however might have to make it a routine kind of thing..UGH

Great story Abarta83...we were sleeved on the same day!!

I'm almost 5 weeks post-op and have suffered horribly with Constipation. Been taking Ducolax but it doesn't seem to help. Going to buy some Metamucil today to see if that makes a difference...UGH

Is Nexium a better choice than Prilosec? Thanks for your advice really appreciate it!

Eat...oops

Yes 2big2skate. Right underneath my sternum. Still working on eating slowly (although what I finest isn't much), and sometimes with fluids I get the same pain. Often times I just have to focus on breathing through my nose and exhaling through my mouth to ease the pain. Meet with doc for 6-week post op in a couple of weeks will mention this. Until then I think I'll start popping Prilosec in the morning to see if this subsides.
Or should I do more than 1 a day?
Many thanks all!!!

Does anyone routinely take Prilosec? I've never had problems with Gerd or Heartburn prior to surgery however now after having anything to eat, I have this awful pain feeling in my lower chest area. I'm week 4.5 post-op.
Thank you friends!

Good morning & happy new year all!
Sooooo...got on the scale today (which btw I am always a but paranoid about), and I've gained 2 lbs! WTH?? I started soft foods the day after Christmas and honestly I struggle with getting in 2 ounces! I found this Protein drink in a convenience store called Core Power (26gm of protein) and have been having one here & there but I'm also concerned that many foods have high doses of sodium and wonder if this has something to do with the gain? I've been adding ham to my scrambled eggs (I might eat 1-2 tbsp) but this is frustrating!! I joined a gym and have been doing the treadmill & recumbent bike.
Can anyone offer suggestions on this? I read it's normal to have a stall but I'm not liking this.
Thank you

I'm on 500 mg once a day, I have to break the tablet in half and take 30 minutes apart.
unflavored protein?

I add Protein Powder to my shakes and cannot tell other than it's thicker.
