.. thanks!! Glad to have this app it's been very helpful and everyone is so nice"!

Thanks.... I am so looking forward to summer!!

They have protein capsules?? Where?? How much protein in a capsule?? Can you swallow?? Or sprinkle??

Wishing for energy!! I have a dull heavy headache in the mornings. Just about every other day I have extreme fatigue!! I drink at least 64 oz of water and taking in apx 50-70 gm of protein. I am so bored with full liquids need new recipes.. exciting news is I am 25lbs!!

Be careful.. Let your your surgical wound heal. What happened to you inside is bigger than it looks on the outside!!! Stay hydrated too.. sips all day!! You should not lift or pull over 10 Lbs for 6 weeks. Do NOT take chances...Good Luck and take care!!

Head hunger!! I know what you are talking about. I am thinking that is what got me in a bad way!! I think the challenge is adapting to my new lifestyle and take that energy to a different level. What that is... I am figuring out! Life is what we make it, so... I want to be healthy and what I eat is what I am...Lol

Nicely said!!

Give it time. I want to say day 6 things got easier. Today, I was out doing errands and got real fatigued! Stopped at a smoothie store and got a high protein low carb smoothie. It was vanilla with bannana and protein powder, it helped sooo much!! I can not wait until my menu gets easier, I sip on water all day but, need to pack yougart and protein drinks in a small cooler bag!! Time gets away when you are out.

I am 11 days post op and have the same feeling. Although yesterday I was able to eat a whole pudding cup:). I am afraid to open up that staple line. I just take my time. Every day gets easier. I am craving real food... I think its all in my head!! Lol

Yes... I am only 11 days post op and freezing. My hands were always hot, now they are cold! Weird... must something to do with diet change,weight loss and? ?

Thanks.. everyday gets better!

Lost 22 lbs since Dec.26 start of pre op diet to one week post op... I got the jp drain pulled today. What a relief!! I feel soooo much better now!!

Thanks for sharing!!

Any good full liquids ideas?? I am on this one for 5 long weeks

I can have full liquids starting Tuesday. I can not wait!! I get this weird pain right before a belch. It sometimes takes my breath away. I think thia drain is laying to close to my diaphragm. I think I will feel alot better when it comes out. Thanks for your positive enforcements. It just gets to me at times.. thanks

Wow..Stacey! Glad to hear someone had it the same day!! This drain is very bothersome. How are you doing with pain and diet??

I do not like being so dang stranded. I wanna do more.. DRives me crazy!! It's only been since Jan. 7th. I am doing everything I am suppose to, just hate this drain.. doesn't come out until Jan 15 th my apt. Does that hurt coming out??

Frustration is gotta be part of it all!! You got to give it time... This is not a hurry up deal. Give your body time to heal and give yourself a pat on your back! You can do this... call your dietician and physician for advice!! Good Luck.

My vision has not changed.. 5 days post op. Monday, I am calling my MD.

Thanks.. just bought some! Relief is the word!!

You will want some encouragement and a pop in visitors.. good luck! You will do great!! Just remember to take small sips and move.. (take your pain meds ).

I had my husband the day of surgery. But the next two days he went to work. Nurses were very helpful. The 1st night is the worse. My hubby would come an hr or so after work to see, then went home to take care of kids. You will be fine!! Best of luck. Take care

Is it ever going to get better. I am taking small sips. I drink an oz every 15 minutes. This isopure hurts... very difficult to keep up with fluids.. Is this normal?? Any suggestions?

I know.. its irritating. I am using natural tears too, seem dry too. Hard to only drink 15ml's every 15 minutes. I KEEP drinking way to fast and then OUCH

I know right?? That patch was called scolpolamine patch.
