HW: 248.0 CW:208.6 GW:160.0 I lost 3 lbs since my 4/11 weigh in I lost 39.4 lbs since surgery on 1/16. Went to doctor and have lost 29% of my body weight which is right on target for 3 months post op...????

UTI....urinary tract infection....aka..bladder infection...common post op issue...antibiotics, Apple juice, pure cranberry juice, an lots of water

As of Friday 4/11 I weighed in at 213.4. I weighed 248.0 the day of surgery on 1/16. It's been a slow process since my band to bypass revision surgery..I'm being patient..

Im on the second phase of my revision from band to bypass surgery. Having trouble finding protein to accomodate the soft/mushy food phase...HELP!!!!

Nuwme2014..please add me too

You guys are great....its hard for me to get all the protein in for the day....im doing so much better, thanks to all your posts..I started doing 6 small meals per day..mostly protein based..its been helping with my sugar cravings and gives me more energy...I had a very small bite if a chocolate covered strawberry, and dumped...im still feeling bad today..dont worry, I won't do that EVER again...

Yes my doc recommends atleast 70 grams of protein a day. I just bought some can chicken and tuna today...the tuna didnt agree too well..im gone try the chicken for v lunch tomorrow. Thanks for your responses.

Thank you for your response. That helps a lot

Im 3weeks out but my.doctor callas it soft foods..eggs, tuna, chicken in the can, salmon packs, cottage cheese/fruit, greek yogurt, cheese, jello, pudding, and I do veggie juices.

My doctor told me to eat scrambled eggs or egg salad during my.soft phase..I.havent had a problem. I did have a dumping experience from using strawberries in my protein shake. I was told too much natural sugar. Not the best feeling, especially with severe left side pain...omg!!!!

CONGRATS!!!!im.3week post op and down 24 pounds as well...that must be the magic number...

I have learned quickly that what may have worked for you yesterday, may give you a different affect today...

When I was going to the hospital, they told me no pj's due to the pain bulbs, pain pump, and iv hooked up..its,easier to access with their gowns..cosmetically you can bring all the things that you normally use. I.didn't use half thd things I brought. I was either sleeping or walking around. I was there 1 night, so it went fast...PACK LITE

I am 3 weeks post op and am an emotional wreck. I cry at everything..commercials, tv shows, songs. I broke down in the hospital to the PA because they werent walking me...wouldnt put the abdominal binder on...I was so emotional. When does it stop?

You may want to try the gummy vitamins. They go down well, plus its like getting a treat...lol

You look amazing...keep up the great work!!!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL TODAY!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you!!!!

You look.Amazing

You look absolutely AMAZING!!!!

Surgery in the morning. I'm a nervous wreck..my stomach is turning flips. I'm ready to get this over with....Good luck to all having surgery tomorrow....looking forward to waking up A NEW ME!!!!!

Good luck to you both tomorrow...my thoughts and prayers are with you....

"Faith without works is dead." Dont lose faith my friend..we all fall short..I feel sorry and had a slice of pizza day 2 of my preop because it smelled sooooooo good...I best myself up a bit but got right back on track..believe me that will not hinder you chances of having surgery...you will do just fine..find some time to journal you're feelings now, so if and when you start feeling like this post op, you can go back and reference how normal those feelings are..I'm having surgery at 7:45 am on Thursday..WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER!!!
