The steri strips that the doc put over my incisions!

now I only have 7 more to go !

I stated using a baby spoon! My friend saw I was using one and brought me over an adorable tea spoon which is great! Helps taking the small bites.

Yea I get that too. The nurse said MFP is great except for the daily calorie intake ....it is not correct for us RNY 's...can't change it though ...

The nurse told me if you do nit have a bm within 4 days then take miralax

Thank you Dawnielle

Try setting your bowl in a larger bowl with boiling hot water in it ?

Vamp maybe your husband could go to one of the support groups with you? I'm sure there are other spouses that may feel the same way and going through the same things as couples that you are. My husband has went to all the appts with me and now is going to have the surgery also but we have been through lots of therapy over the years....we divorced young, separated for ten years then remarried each other and now it is better then ever...we both realized that being together was what we wanted for ourselves and our boys and we have worked hard together to keep communication open. It is not easy and needs to be a two way street for it to work. Best of luck to you !

It is very common to gain weight in the first week after surgery due to swelling, air etc so don't get discouraged !

Great job!

My program says 60 tp 70 grams protein a day ....I am on day 12 and getting about 50 and it's a struggle ...better now that I found isopure !

I can have all the liquids broth, jello, etc all day and count it as liquids. Also can " eat" every 3 to 4 hours one to two tbsps of Pauline Greek yogurt, cream of wheat with skim milk, low fat cottage cheese blended, black beans or refried ff beans blended. I drink one bottle of isopure daily as it has 40 grams protein ...not a fan of the protein shakes soothe isopure is a lifesaver! Also there is nit much protein in a tbsp of anything and I only eat the cream of wheat and cottage cheese and only able to eat a tbsp if that...then I cannot drink anything for an hour after I eat.

I'm on day 11 post op and I'm doing 30 minute walks three times a day....and I always need a 90 minute nap in the afternoon. I just try to increase my distance and speed each day...if you do too much then you will not be able to do anything for days....be careful.

Can you add me to fb Steph..... Diane-Marie Seekins Colby ...can't find you

I agree with the calories per day! Would like to be able to put in how many calories we are supposed to have per day vs how many America says we should have....also not having the exercise add to the intake calories would be nice as every time I exercise it adds calories to my intake . Also a place to,keep track of vitamins would be nice.

I use this site. The bariatric center recommended it as they can view it with me when I go in for follow ups with the nurse and NUT. I love it as I can track my protein and calories ..exercise water ...everything! They did tell me not to go by the calorie intake they suggest as mine will be different other than that it all works well. And you can invite friends also which is nice to be able to encourage each other if you see they or you are not tracking...

Great job!

Doing pretty well..just really tired ...didn't realize what a nap actually was until now !

Can you add me Diane-Marie Seekins Colby ...can't locate you.
