i would like to know also,everytime i eat something im always worried if its to much,or am i falling back into my old ways.i check and measure everything.its just im so worried that its to much,and usally its not enough.on the good side went to dr for 1 month check up lost 24 lbs. i guess thats ok

its been 1 month since surgery,i have been really moody alot.to the point i want to punch someone in the face.on the good side i have dropped a size in pants and a size in shirts.go to dr tomorrow for 1 month check up, yay!!!

sleeved feb 22,seems i can handle soft foods ok,not much but some.getting better everyday.for some reason i have been feeling kinda strange lately,hard to describe but i have been having emotional feelings,i feel depressed one minute,and the next i feel great.and when i finally do eat something ten minutes later i feel guilty like i ate to much.im currently getting between 400 and 500 calories and about 40 protein.i try to get the proper amounts of water,but i usually dont.im afraid im getting dehydrated.plus on top of that when i cough my stomach muscle hurts. sorry for the rambling.

im 9 days out and my dietician has me on pureed food,im following everything like she said to but i feel guilty when i eat something.im barely getting in my protein a day,and water.what gives? i lost 13 pounds the first week

oh im here,

today is day 6 for me,i had 1 scrambled egg this morning,took me 35 min to eat it but i kept it down.went to dr yesterday to have drain removed,lost 13 lbs in 5 days.but i walked alot also.i am finding i can drink milk better now,so im still not getting 60 g protein but im getting 50 so thats better.but still low on water

day 5 post op,feeling lots better,get the jackson/pratt bag out in a couple of hours,cant wait for that.it doesnt hurt or anything it just annoys me.been walking alot,yesterday 3 walks.im getting more fluids in,but still not what they say.but it seems everyone else had that problem.i must be getting enough water,cause i have been peeing ok,not to dark.i have been passing gas,but no bowel movement.but then again i have not had anything to give me one either.

today is day 4 post op for me,really having a hard time getting in all the fluids,milk that the drs wanted me to get.i got in 4 cups of water/chicken broth yesterday,and 3 cups of milk 1 was double protein.this morning im working on milk with a protein mix about 20 grams,im gonna get this down before i drink water.i have been walking alot,and generally feeling better.how much output from the jackson/pratt did everyone get,this morning was about 25 cc,seems to be getting lighter in color.

you know what f*ck em.you are doing this for you and no one else.if they dont have anything nice to say,tell them to shut the f-ck up.people like that really piss me off!!!!!

this is day 3 for me first couple of days pretty much sucked,today im much better.you will be ok.it took me 8 months to get here,and im glad i did.

its day 4 im feeling alot better today,still need to get more fluids today,had 2 cups of milk yesterday,and maybe 2 cups of water.i have to drink water.

for the last 8 months i have not been eating fried foods,or spicy food. i lost 85 lbs before i had the surgery.i talked to my dr. and he told me to double up on the prilosac,and to try mylanta or something like that.i took a little bit of greek yogurt and it seemed to help. still having hard time getting in all my fluids,but im working on it

day 3 post surgery,heartburn is very bad,i have found sipping a little warm milk helps a little.i have generic prilosac.not sure if its working.i have been throwing up bile,so my throat hurts also.but its only the 3rd day so i kinda expected some of this. i seem to feel a little better today.yesterday was just plain misery!!

just got home from hospital,sleeved wed morning.awefull heartburn,trying to keep anything down is a chore.trying some skim milk and see if that helps

well im 13 hrs away from starting my new journey. im getting a little anxious,little nervous.i feel real confident that everything will go good,but with any surgery things can go wrong.so that is on my mind.i have been preparing myself for 8 months,so its not like i just made a rash decision.i think everyone else is more worried than i am.but i have suffered way worse pain than this,so im ready!! lets get it on!!!!!!
