Good for you. You look amazing

Great job!!

We are all a month out, tomorrow! How is everybody doing? I am feeling fantastic. I'm back on eating regular foods... and I have to say, the portions I'm able to eat are just fine with me. How is everyone else doing?? Best, Stephanie

Yay! First step to a brand new life!

Hi you! Don't get discouraged. The same thing happened to me last week.. straight.. same weight.. nothing. Then I woke up and 4 lbs. down. I told myself I am not going to weigh myself everyday. I am going to stick to once a week... rather than count numbers, I'm going off how my clothes feel, which are loosening everyday! You're doing fantastic

Best of luck to you. Like the previous poster said, it's your battle to win. Trust us all, it gets better. I'm 3+ weeks out and am feeling great. Loads of energy and 23 lbs down. We are going to have a great summer!!

Alright Ladies!! We are 3+ weeks out.... Checking in on how everyone is doing?? I am 23 lbs. down. Super happy. My NUT moved me to mushy food stage a week earlier. Now, I'm up to solids and I'm experiencing with a few different things. Nothing has really given me any issues except the Clam Chowder Soup I ate... boy, I won't be doing that again. I only had about 5 spoonfuls total but that ran right through me!! How about you gals? Feeling good? Back to work? I'm excited to see how your all doing! -Stephanie

You won't be disappointed! Just makes sure you don't heat your Water past 140 degrees...it will curdle the Protein. A safe bet is to fill an 8oz glass full of water and place in the microwave for 1 min 10 secs... works like a charm I'd be interest to see what you think!

Best of luck to you for a fast, healthy recovery. It only gets better!

Hi! I feel your pain. I'm 3 weeks out an still struggle with it. I can tell you what is great is Unjury Chicken Broth Protein Powder. (www.unjury.com). It tastes just like chicken broth and so easy to drink. Each scoop has 21g of protein.. it's pretty easy to get three 8oz. of these in each day. Give it a whirl, you won't be disappointed. Good luck to you!

Cheri - This is off topic but I just wanted to say that although I don't post much, I truly think that you add a lot of valuable insight to this forum. I read your posts often and appreciate all of them. Just thought I would let you know that -Stephanie

Good luck to you!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm pretty confident that it's nothing to worry about, just my "innards" healing. I did notice that standing and walking stretch it out a bit so I think I need to focus on doing that more. I keep telling myself, two more months, two more months... I will be good as new. Fingers crossed. Good luck to you all!

Hi All! I am almost 3 weeks post-op and back to work. I'm finding that sitting at my desk in my chair, I am super sore in my abdomen. I am thinking it's because I'm hunched over while working on the computer. I didn't have this pain while recuperating in my recliner at home! Has anyone else experienced this? How long does it last?! Thanks for the feedback! Stephanie
