I got diarrhea after surgery every time I used 1% milk with my shakes. Doctor said to switch to lactaid and it's been fine ever since.

It does get easier. Once they start school full time, it get's easier. That's if you send them to school. Some people home school. I'm dealing with teen attitudes now. I also have an 11 year old girl too. Good luck! It gets better!!

They say your body is going through shock after surgery. It will try to hang on to your fat cells for dear life. Plus hormones on top of it. It will eventually lose the battle and you will lose weight. Just be patient!

Congrats Gen! Wish your pictures were visible. I would have liked to see your progress. I tried on my cell and the RNY website, but it says error on the pictures.

Patience! I'm hypothyroid and I will be 3 mos out on Sunday. I've lost 55 lbs since surgery and 65 lbs total. Trust that this will work. Don't give up!!!

Congrats!

How are you feeling after stent surgery?

Be careful with watermelon, it could make you dump.

I came home on Wednesday, and my husband worked Thursday and Friday. My kids were at school. It's totally fine at 8 days. I was wrapping presents just before Xmas at 7 days post op. good luck!

I do when I go out to a restaurant. No issues. I like straws better.

I had that last night. This morning my fingers were all swollen. Too much sodium. Never again!

As worm said, you won't be able to make the Protein or Water goals for a while. My doctor said the first two weeks focus on staying hydrated. The protein will come later. So I focused on water, SF Popsicles Jello and Soup. Good luck! It will get better. DOS 12/17/12

I just did mine at 10 weeks post op. Do it now before it starts falling out! I didn't think there was a waiting period. DOS 12/17/12
