Are you saying that if we take in too much it hurts our kidneys? What is the suggested daily amount

I'm 3 wks post op. Doc only has me on 1 protein shake a day, other than that on full liquids for a month. I see so many talking about needing to push protein, what is the benefits of such a high protein diet?

It will get better. I was like that for 2 wks, now my 3rd week I'm wanting a bite of everything

Misty, what is the brand name

Glad your home, good luck!

Mine is powder and causes the liquid to get really thick, my pouch won't take it

I tried it, 3 sips and I almost puked... but success, I had a movement!

how do I update my profile on my weight? I cant find it under profile

I have a question about flax. I bought the flax usa powder, is this the same as the oil when it comes to having a movement? im going on a wk without going to the potty... desperate measures here!

Dry heaving is not normal unless you are drinking too fast or have eaten something your not supposed to. If you are foaming you need to go to ER. That is a sign your esophagus near your pouch collapsed. Also watch your heart rate (not over 120) and temp. FYI my worse days were 4-9

Stuck for 3 days@ 177

Where do u find bi protein...? And help, I can't poo! !!

Remember, if your feeling hungry drink first, after you eat do not drink for 30 min, and if your surgery is fresh and you cause yourself to puke you can pop a stitch and cause a leak. Try adding clear protein powder to what your eating to help fill you up..

Have you went to potty? If not or even if so it can still be bowls. Hope you feel better

My incisions were glued too. The glue has came off all of them. I think the other 2 are finally trying to close but right when I think they are I look and they are open. Vicki, you will feel stronger every day. My husband went back to work this past Tuesday and I was scared, then on Thursday I was all over cleaning and even cooked taco bake for family for dinner. . Good luck and keep your head up

I have the heater on 75, its never over 70!! I actually love it

I'm 14 days post op. Had 6 incisions. The 2 bigger ones haven't sealed closed and I'm worried, everyone else's healed closed?

I had to stop pain meds because of the same reason. Tylenol worked better anyway. The headache will last about 3 days, doc said it's from coming down off surgery and pain meds

Me too Kim, let us know your ok

Oh misty keep us posted dear! May God touch you and strengthen your body.

I hope I don't have a problem with salad, it's my passion, ,,

14 days post op and thet moved me to cream soup (no pieces) and sugar free pudding for the next month...once again my doc is strict! !

The signs to watch is heart rate over 120 and/ or fever. Your ok with just pain. Hope you feel better

Well your surgery is still fresh. My doc kept me on clear liquids first 10 days post op. If you puke early you can get a leak so don't push. Water is he only importance right now for you. I am 14 days post op and he added cream soup 4 days ago. In 4 days I have tried it twice. Our taste and want have changed but enjoy it because we will not feel like this forever and should take advantage of the rapid weight loss

I think 18# in 3 wks is awesome. I have only lost 12 in 2..
