I have surgery on 8/10 on 8/17 I lost 17lbs. I went to the doctor this past Friday and only lost 2lbs. Happy but was expecting a lil more. I think I was eating 400 cal per day. My doctor said I need to get in more calories and I will see better results. He also said I can go to regular foods just 4 small portions per day. I would like to know what your eating??? Also I would like some leg and arm exercises any suggestions? Sharon

Panda, I brought the pure protein bars yesterday. 20g of protein in one bar and they taste pretty good. I also like the can shakes they are 35g of protein per serving.

I got my cycle today, I never experienced cramping like this very excruciating pain, I never had to spend the day in bed. I have a electric warmer, ibuprofin, warm tea, and still in pain. 45 years old, this is torcher.

Just what I needed to hear, the accident was very tramatic and I do find comfort in food. But as stated back to basics. Muah!!!!

Please note its only small portions pasta ex: Lo mein noodles chopped up, no more than 2 spoons of rice and broken up.chicken, I guess I don't need to minimize I need help. Thanks!

Thank you!

I had Bypass on 8/10, things were going well, into my second week I was involved in a serious car accident. I have not been following my schedule due to injuries. I have eaten Pasta, rice, fried chicken. Any suggestions!!! Should I start over with a liquid diet???? Help!!!

I revisit my surgeon on 8/17 to have this JP Bag removed. Kinda gross but I have no choice but to clean it daily. My doctor said I can move onto mushies this weekend. Soft scramble eggs, puree salmon, baked sweet potatoes. Brocoli, cauliflower, cottage chez....

Thanks Carrie, what a you doing to stay active? Tomorrow I will go to the gym and walk on the treadmill for 5/10 mins.

I currently take Prozac and Zanax I had my surgery on 8/10 and I continue to take them, especially since my body has undergone a serve surgery. I think it will take time and therapy to discontinue my medications.

I must admit each day does get better. My first day out I went into complete melt down mode however, today I feel up to taking a early morning walk. Ive been on sf jello, and water. Today I'm adding Unjury chicken broth and vitamins.

Surgery went well, after a few hours of being in the hospital it became so overwhelming. I had an anxioity attact. I came home yesterday. Still overwhelmed. Please keep me on prayer. Sharon

I am anxious, the last few days I've been getting my home in order doing laundry, cleaned my bed and bathroom. I finish up at work tomorrow and I will be off til 8/28, today I plan to do some shopping for some easy accessible foods. My doctor said I will come home straight to puree so I'm going to get some yogurts, cottage cheese, baby food, broths, and of course Protein drinks. I was told as long as it is <5 grams of sugar I will be ok. I am so ready. Although, I no any of you guys, please keep me in prayer. Sharon x

I can understand your feelings, not that I'm scared its just hard to rap my mind around being skinny, let's not sweat the small stuff. Embrase the new you to come.... Much success to you!!!

Thanks!!!

Well this is my second time around, Back on May 25th I was scheduled even made it to the operating room. When I woke up I was so excited and thanking the Lord for bringing me through surgery successfully. Only to be told that I had a hiatal herneia that was so large my stomach was 1/2 way through it and in my chest cavitiy. It was detected during my pre op but we did not imagine it to be so large. So today, Im going for pre op testing again today, I have a new date for Aug 10th praying all goes well today!!!

My surgery is 8/10 so this week coming, I want to enjoy but not over do my most favorite foods.
