And I was just joining the thread...

I don't feel bad about the bites, it's my mistake. Personally I am happy it's grilled chicken and not any carbs. Nurse said if I didn't have a problem with it then I shouldn't worry! But to be safe, for my stomachs sake I will stay on protein shakes til week 4.

Thanks! I already called nurse. Im glad im craving grilled chicken instead of sweets though! Lol back to just protein shakes til week 4...mmmm yum!

No I'm ok with my mistake. Just wanted to see if anyone tried a piece of chicken, lol

By the way I did not eat the crackers!

Ok I confess. I ate 3 small bites of grilled chicken today. All I have wanted is grilled chicken for the past 5-6 weeks. I feel bad but it is protein! But I am only 3 weeks post op...but when I left the hospital my dr. told me I could have full liquid diet and saltine crackers. Just scared I hurt my stomach. Please no negative comments, were all going through the same kinda thing...and if u didn't cheat...more power to u.

Hello all! 19 days post op and I'm down 18lbs so far. Still sore only around one incision....but other than that, I feel great!

My fitness pal is great!

Not to mention I had to take my daughter out of town toca cheerleading competition...lol

Yea I was actually doing pretty good pain wise for a couple days but the last couple of days I have hurt alot. Yesterday it felt like a pulling pain which I spoke to the nurse and she said that was normal. And that I would probably have that pain for up to 6 month's. But now it's a sharp pain definitely above the naval

Anyone experience sharp pain above belly button. The doctors office informed me that they put a stitch there to prevent hernia. But I still have pain...is this normal? I have eaten a few soft foods only because I was out of town where I could not get to a protein shake...I'm scared I created a leak or something....please tell me pain is normal?!!! So worried....

Its ok. It will be worth it. It was the best decision I made. I am 10 days post op and have lost 15 lbs so far. I feel great. I am very conscious about what I put in my body now. I feel I look better. I am getting compliments!

Recovery is hard but u are up walking around without pain by the 3rd/4th day.

It was worth it 100%
