I had an open surgery sept. 4 th and was back to work on sept 19 th two weeks after surgery with staples still in my stomach. I did not lift, I am a manager, did not work more than six hours the first few days back to work, was tired when I got home and took a nap. It can be done, but be careful, doctors have been known to change the date! I went back to work so that I could go to a conference the following week. Good luck I am using a Water bottle brand name Contigo that has a straw - liquid stays in the straw so no bubbles - helps me get in all my water. Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209I was told the same thing, protein drinks count as your liquids for the day. I am sitting in Urgent care due to a UTI, second UTI since surgery on September 4th. More than likely not drinking enough liquids!Wonderful for you, what a great feeling, so proud of you, hear is a big hug for you! Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209Yeah for you, shopping in our closets is so much fun and cheaper! Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209This is one of the worst days I have had since my surgery. Barely ate today and did not drink more than ten ounces. I know tomorrow will be better. I never want another day like today. It is a holiday for me tomorrow thank goodness or I would be calling in sick. I truly hope fiber will take care of my problem. I am going to call the nut and see what they say. Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209I need to change something, I will go to the store for fiber, so I do not end up with this problem again. I am miserable my wonderful hubby is trying to help and be supportive. Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209Yes I did. Will be sending you a package next week. Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209Thank you anything has to be better than what I am doing. Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209Does anyone have constipation? I only go twice a week. I take one collace daily but that does not seem to do the trick. I am 6 weeks out and only eating Protein and my many Vitamins including Iron. Any suggestions? Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209Congrats what a milestone Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209Yeah for you I am a huggier so a big hug to you! Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209If you will send me your address either work or home I will send you some clothes. You can send me a private message or email druegge@myprovident.com. Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209Dr Krahn and his partner Dr. Channing Chin are excellent in The Inland Empire Southern California. I had lots of previous scar tissue on my stomach with a chance they could not do the surgery. First thing I asked hubby when I woke up.Dr. Krahn explained the surgery, talked to me again before the surgery, Dr. Chin has done most of my post op appointments. Mine was an open procedure and I would have it done all over again and can not wait for Onederland! Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209Yeah big hug for you how WONDERFUL for you. Looking forward to my three month check up. Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209To me dumping is a learning exercise. What did I eat, was it too fast, too much, did it have sugar, did I drink too soon after eating and on and on. Sometimes just one bite too much and dumping is the only cure. I try to measure or weigh everything. Going out to lunch is hard because I can not figure out what three ounces looks like! Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209So glad I could make you laugh, I like to make people laugh! Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209Okay this is gross, but I can clean my butt hole in the shower without breaking my arm. Before I would have to strain to each between my cheeks, now it is like no problem, I know I am weird!!!! Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209Good luck with appt. today. Surgery date 9/4/2013 HW 259 RYN 238, this week 209Just remember that this will only last a few more weeks. If you fill that you need more, contact your doctors office. Usually after four weeks you are on mushy foods but every doctor is different. This is a learning life style changing event in our life's although I freely admit I am a slow learner! Surgery date 9/4/2013 start weight 259 preop weight 238, this week 205How wonderful big hug to you!!!! Sent from my iPad using RNYTalkFoR two days now, no dumping yeah for me! Anything with more than a gram of sugar makes me sick to the point of dumping. So when I went grocery shopping I spent two hours looking at every single label. I bought egg whites and turkey sausage. Two tablespoons of egg whites and one Jimmy Dean turkey sausage, microwave it for 45 seconds and you have a yummy Breakfast. lunch was weight watchers taco Soup and dinner was a meatball with sugar free artichoke tomato sauce. I made the meatballs prior to surgery and have them in the freezer. I guess I am a slow learner it has taken me five weeks to read all the labels prior to consuming anything! Sent from my iPad using RNYTalkMy doctor said anything bigger than an m&m I should cut in half. Anything in a gel coating should go down just fine. I cut the potassium in half, pharmacy said I will not get the full benefit of it because it is time released but I am okay with that. Most of my Vitamins are chewable from baractic advantage. Are you able to email your doctor or the nut ironist? just recon firm. Sent from my iPad using RNYTalkI am so sorry, I just donated them to a women's shelter. The next size that I have will be yours. I am in the Riverside-Corona area what about you?
