Today started out brilliantly ,did my 51/2 miles drink 60 gm of protein and was just relaxing on the couch when I got a call from a number I didn't recognize, I usually just ignore ,but today I answered and now I can't stop crying ,I feel so sad , so helpless , so angry!! It's so surreal it's cant be true , my best friend for 31 years the person I just spoke ,to ,who had made plans to see and hang out with when I leave for Seattle this summer has died....... My friend Ethel the one person who has been there for me through thick and thin ,has died of an brain aneurysm ,she's gone I'll never see her face and hear her laughing ,I'm angry as hell !! We weren't finished ,we had so much more to do , to say , to experience !! We were suppose to grow old together rocking on the front porches with our grand kids and husbands, she has four grand kids to my zero , i will fly to Seattle next week to be with my dear friend one last time I miss her like crazy already my world is forever changed . RIP Ethel my true dear friend what will I do without? ;(

Had surgery May 24th will be traveling by cars my hubby and the boys in his car and me and Bob my cat and some tools for a job at my daughters home in Seattle,on July 8th long road trip but didn't want to board the boys nor have them in a crate under the plane . three to four days ,from The Southwest to the Pacific Northwest.

Yes thank you ,I feel well enough to walk in the morning!!!

Welcome !! I'm just 15 days post op but I can tell you my journey so far stayed in hospital overnight didnt have pain in hospital first four days home was painful only because I didn't take my meds. Oh but I learn fast .those four days I wasn't hungry,or thirsty. I had a drain didn't hurt at all one week post op I got the drain taken out, didnt hurt at all it tickled and it was long!! Nine days out I was walking the trail with my buddy two week post op feeling fine incisions are completely heal and no pain stage two of diet going well,Saturday after walking and working in the garden ,this strange hot stabbing sharp pain started about 8:00 pm it got so bad I could only take a step or two took the liquid med from my surgery plugged in my heating pad got a pillow for my left side ,about a minute later I was asleep, but damn that pain was something I never want to feel again.so yes there will be good and bad days, make sure you're getting all the nutrients you need,you want to be thin and healthy ,not thin and sickly. Congratulations on your weight loss.

No pain to speak of ,it just so weird ,I'm calling the Dr . Tomorrow8:00 sharp,I was just there Friday for my two week post op sonogram on my legs(looking for blood clots)everything looked great bloodwork was ok low vitaminD ,haven't eaten or done anything that I should've regular BM ,that why is so strange...... We shall see.

Ok I need some help, I'm 16 days post op incisions and healed, walking everyday,off liquids as of Friday ,cleared to do arm&leg workouts,I drink 60-90 OSS of protein,and 5 23 oz of water,plus Popsicles,cottage cheese and stuff,so I'm doing everything I'm suppose to do, but for the last two days the pain of my left side returns every now and again.it started after Thursday, after I finished my walk felt like something inside had dropped and hanging,no very little pain on Friday when I finished walking.but yesterday evening the pain was so intense ,but not constant .if I took a step it hurt if I moved a certain way pain ,it's seemed really deep inside,nothing like the pain from the surgery.im having regular BM, does anyone have a clue to what this pain MIGHT be,? I'm open to all suggestions .... Oh right now no pain soooooo strange ;(

Only liquids for me until ,I find out why my left side pain is back ;(

I buy mine at costco , a carton of 18 on sale for $ 24.00 last week

You know after surgery and now I'm not really hungry but I know I must eat to lose , so I force myself ,I ate ice ,frozen Protein drinks,and Popsicles ,week 2 I added cottage cheese applesauce now week 3 I still do all the things from week one and two but yesterday I was given the ok for ground meats mashed potatoes soft cooked veggies..your time will come,just e patient and chew on ice....

I think your surgeon is insane !! I'm 15 days out went to Dr. Yesterday absolutely no abdomen exercise whatsoever not until I see him in six weeks ,I'm clear for arms and legs . If it doesn't feel right don't do it.

I had buffalo burger with mustard, low sugar pickle relish, reduced sugar ketchup and romain lettuce on a wheat flat bun .had four bites, tasted exceptional , the fourth bite I started to feel weird, not sick no pain but a feeling I never experience before. I wrapped my burger and put it in the fridge,talked to my hubby about the incident, got a bottle of water and went to bed , and slept like a well fed baby, now time to walk walk walk today it's 5.6 miles then arm and leg workout

Heartburn ,but I'm just guessing hope it's resolved soon!!

Really that's sounds great,can't wait until Friday , nice piece of flaky broil fish and broccoli yum.
