My cousin has lost 100 lbs since May 5th his day of surgery. I on the other hand am losing slower. Everyone is different. At least you are eating something 6 times a day. Thats better than nothing.Lulugirl, I really hope you get all this take care of & you get out of the hospital quickly.I also had my surgery in Mexico. If you dont mind me asking, Where at in Mexico did you hv it? My biggest thing is drinking. Its hard for me to drink anything. I hv to make myself drink but its still not much.Its been 3wks. I mainly eat: yoplait light yogurt, sugar free jello & popsicles, & broth. I hv started implementing more foods. Mash potatoes & gravy i do good with but i still hv A little problems with refried beans. Tomorrow i was going to try to broil fish. Does anyone have any food idea sugestions?Very sry you are going thru this & will be praying for you. I knw it must be hard but dont get frustrated, you will loose. Remember for just a normal surgery, it takes time before your stomach can heal & intake food so with your complications, it may take more time for adjustment. Keep your head up.I am 3 weeks out. I had my surgery on July 16. I weighed twice once a week & the scale never moved. I weighed again & had lost abt 10 lbs. I knw tht its impossible not to loose weight w the amt of food im eating. So dont get discourged, it will come up. Inches are coming off, i can tell in my clothes.
