I had staples...discomfort with and around incisions but no pain.

DOS 10-2-12

Weight - 306

Today's Weight - 279

Thanks .... looking forward to a cup of coffee today!!

I am three months out and also choosing to avoid these things. Soda is not worth gaining weight or slowing down the loss. Alcohol is not worth a painful ulcer and the extra calories at this time.

I did try a sip of flat diet soda a few weeks ago and just the itty bitty bubbles hurt my pouch!

I do drink coffee daily and honestly I love it. A tablespoon of my creamer is only 3-5 g sugar so it is my Breakfast. It makes me have a better day and not feel deprived.

I was unsure of creame and sugar substitute so I have avoided coffee... missing it terribly! What do you use?

The matrix has an awful after-taste to me since surgery. I bought the whey non-flavored and it can be added to drinks and almost anything!

My c-section was a breeze compared to this not to say this was horrible but that pain on the left hand side man it was hurting and I also had pain in my back. MY SURGEON ROCKS HE'S THE BEST

I had alot of pain in my left side too ... major back pain also ..still uncomfortable after sitting but it's getting better! Cant drink Protein shakes at all...

I have the same problem ...I used cortisone and it's looking alot better

Do not get the Matrix

Can't drink protein... makes me sick! Any suggestions on things to put it in or mix with?

Started process at 306 now down to 284 as of today!

My exact weight and weight lose... When was you surgery date?

Dr prescribed them for 14 days... day 9 today ..definitely leave a bruise

DOS=306

TW=284

TWL=22

SD-10/2

I'm scared about going back to work t'mrw...starting Vitamins, etc... unsure of reaction.

I ate refried Beans and applesauce today.. if was wonderful!!! I keep stepping on scales wondering when I'll see a huge difference. So ready for a new wardrobe!

Surgery Date - 10/2/12

How are you feeling? Have you lost any weight?

Well said... thought it but didn't want to say it! Definitely a plus!

Well we're on our backs the entire time during surgery and in the hospital bed. I know for me I had to get up and walk. The gas can cause issues as well.

How far out are you from surgery?

4 days... feeling like everything stops at my chest-bone (even water) ... walking definitely helps alot! Just wondering what I did to myself!!

Did anyone else have severe back-pain post/op? Mine was releaved some when drain was removed but now at least it's manageable!
