Is this normal?? I'm 9 weeks post op I lost 23lbs within the first 2 weeks after surgery then I stalled then dropped 11 pounds in a 8 days. Then stalled again now I've started losing again?? Is this normal?? Is this gonna continue?? Not complainin because obviously I'm losin I just didn't think it would come in spurts like it has..

I ran a low grade temp 99 to 100 after surgery. My dr said it was normal after surgery. Turns out I was fine no leaks or anything. My 4 year old actually just had to have surgery a couple weeks ago and she ran a low grade temp for about 4 days after surgery her dr said the same thing. But everyones different u never know.

no I don't take biotin. And yes I take my vitamins but I've been takin them for about 6 months now I'm only 13 weeks post op. But I'm just now noticing my nails.

My nails are growing longer and much stronger than ever before. Wonder does this have to do w my protein intake?

I bought some of the eas from walmart tonight I haven't tried em but I plan to tomorrow.. I haven't seen the muscle milk lite.. ill have to look @ different places for it all I seen was reg. Muscle milk ready to drink and muscle milk powder. And what about the atkins meal replacement bars would those be ok??

Yea that's kinda what I was thinkin that the sugar was a lil too high that's why I asked but I just bought a muscle milk and it seems pretty good and doesn't taste too bad either.. 14oz bottle 230 cals 12 carbs 3g sugar and 25g protein... how's that sound to yall?

Ok good.. I don't care for the carnation kind but the kelloggs isn't too bad. But I didn't know because the carbs and sugars are kind of high.

Are those breakfast drinks good for WL patients? I know I can have sugar free carnation instant breakfast but what about kellogs or the special k ones?

Sleeved nov 27th Highest weight264 Surgery Weight 241 current 225... 16lbs gone! :-)

This really amazes me.. I've read about and talked w others about it but now that's it happening to me it seems unreal.. I had surgery nov 27th so I'm 1 week and almost 2days out and I've already lost 16lbs.. I just cannot believe it.. I'm so excited!! My highest weight was 264 day of surgery I weighed 241 current weight is 225.. :-)

I'm one week post op and I've lost 11lbs so far. I don't know if this is typical or not but it makes me happy. :-) but I believe everyone is different! Good luck to u!

I've got 3 incisions plus the drain tube hole. One of the incisions has somewhat of a knot above it and it hurts extremely bad. Has anyone else experienced this?? And also when I take a drink of something it kinda feels like it has to gurgle its way down. Is this normal??

On thanksgiving I was allowed to eat a "sensible" meal w my family.. so I ate a few bites of turkey mac and cheese corn and potatoes. I'm just afraid of not bein able to have the surgery. I wish I hadn't have ate zaxbys just 2 days from my surgery date.. ugh.. but ill take your advice and move forward.. no more chicken lol.. well wishes ladies! :-)

I had to do a 10 day liquid diet. my surgery is Tuesday. I've well except for today and I ate some chicken from zaxbys.. is that bad enough for him to call off the surgery or cause my liver to not shrink??

Thank u.. :-) I don't think the protein powder I use is for meal replacement its just the whey protein. That's all they said to use besides the other liquids I can have. And she said if I choose I could use ensure high protein but not regular ensure.. so I'm not sure really what I'm suppose to be drinking..lol.. guess ill make a phone call to the dietician tomorrow.
