Congrats! And it is very strange. It is hard for me to get in fluids or protein because I just don't want any thing. I could go all day but of course my surgeon just said..well would you like me to admit you now because the hospital is where you will be! Lol. Which I know but it's hard. I did much better today! So weird not wanting to eat anymore!!

So happy happy for you that you were able to have this done! I am also in Va! Richmond Had RNY on 12/17. Good luck to you and your husband both! My husband has been dieting with me and plans on having the surgery as well at some point. It's great to have that support!

That's awesome! I haven't tried Muscle Milk since surgery but I used it before surgery. They have a cookies n cream and also banana creme too! I was hoping for more loss by now but I ended up back in the hospital last weekend ..my blood pressure dropped. So maybe the fluids I got..who knows.

2 weeks post op. 16lbs gone since surgery and 28lbs total since pre op diet on 12/2! Happy to see the pounds dropping!!

I'm 2 weeks post op today. I've been on pureed food since I got home. Week 1 I was not eating much just liquids, shakes and some soup. But lately as long as it's something I can eat like fish or veggies. I make sure to chew very well and it's pureed before it goes down. I haven't had any issues. Everything I've eaten has went down very well. I will have pain once in in a while from drinking to fast. Sometimes ice water is so good I just go to chug it and obviously. .Can't do that!! Lol. Soft foods for me start now but I have my 2 week post op thursday so I will see what he says!

You will do amazing! I had minimal pain for about 24-36 hours and then that was it! After that was the normal I just had surgery so had to walk slow..sit down easy ect but I'm 2 weeks post op today and no regrets!

I found a New whey protein tube at walmart it's a little less than 4oz. It doesn't taste bad and I'd much rather drink that than a 8-11oz shake. Plus it has 42 grams of protein

Sorry guys this was for the post op thread but hey! Lol. Sorry!

Hello December Post ops! Hard to belive surgery is behind us and we are on the losers bench! I started my pre op diet on 12/2 and surgery was 12/17. Total weight loss has been 25lbs and 14.5 of those pounds since surgery. Truly I struggle with protein and water..probably water more than protein. I'm just not interested lol. But I'm doing my best and better each day. Water, shakes and food go down with no issues..no pain. Get some gas after drinking fluids...find myself burping a lot. I will start soft foods next week and I can't wait! Lol. I am never really hungry so I try to go in order of a shake, water, then food. .usually water again..then a shake, then food. Of course time in between but I try to eat 3x a day but that's rough. I'm just over pureed foods. Once I have more options I think I will be better!

If it's public I wear sweats..if it's family I rock my pajama pants! Lol. Jeans rub where my worst incision is and my incisions are looking so good I won't dare chance hurting them. So hoping to get into some jeans next week. I did slip mine on to see if they fit different. They are a little bit loose but after 25lbs lost I was expecting a bit more. Oh well!

I have realized when I start getting very moodu. It's time to eat. I have a rough time remembering since I don't get hungry but I think my blood sugar drops some. I eat a littke. And I'm good lol

I'm about the same. Ham for me too. I took very soft pieces and chewed it very well. I finally knew what it meant when people say " it felt good on my pouch". So I've had that here and there the last few days. I got some cheese grits and one instant pack last several meals. It's not a lot of Protein but I needed something. Eggs have been good. I hade purchased yogurt and baby food for fruit. Does not appetize me AT ALL. I bought some frozen fruit tonight. I thaw thaw a piece or 2 at a time and it's cold and did very refreshing. Oh and I've done salmon. I bake that and mash it up real good. Great protein! That's pretty much it! I go to soft foods next week. Pretty excited! Lol

That liquid potassium is no joke. They gave me that in the hospital. .one sip and I told her they better find me a shot or something because there was NO way that was going down. And I'm usually usually a suck up kinda person..I'll do what's required but that stuff was impossible. She put it in a small cup of apple juice for me. It helped but still a no go. Good luck :/

I am the 17th as well and literally just in the past 24-48 hours I've been like ok where is my life ? I'm bored and finally getting some energy back so today I cleaned house, did some dishes and even made my husband dinner. It felt good to move around and do something. Tomorrow organizing my daughter's play room is on the list because it looks like Christmas threw up in there haha. I also will have her back tomorrow..she has been at my mom's when my husband works..He works nights and I can't lift her ( she is almost 2) so picking her up is pretty much a must but it's been long enough and I finally have the energy to do so! Emotions stink! I hope u are feeling better. When I see pounds coming off that always helps!
