Hello all!
I am almost 5 months post op, I'm down as of today 100 pounds!!!!! What you are taking in plays every part of how much you lose, my doctor told me if I am not hungry (which you should not be) then do not eat! Just drink Protein shakes... I live off of pro series muscle milk with 40 grams of protein, and yogurt as well as bananas because I'm low in potassium... I also enjoy eating those laughing cow cheese wedges with these low carb crackers (I have one cracker a day only 3 grams of carbs)... And walk walk walk!!!! There is no reason to be eating anything at this point!

Hi! I have Aetna as well and just had my surgery on Monday, make sure you do not gain any weight! Aetna has a new policy about weight gain that my doctor wasn't aware of

Yes I'm down almost 30 pounds it will be week 3 on Monday...

I'm 5 days out of surgery and I'm walking 15-20 mins a day... I've lost 12 pounds so far but I'm on liquids only doc told me no Protein yet just to worry about fluids until I see him Thursday... Are you having bowel movements also? Tmi but if not it can be all holding in there

I agree :/ I would call your doctor and make sure everything is okay... And just take it easy

Thank u... It's fustrating I thought I was making progress... I have these Protein Shots that taste like watermelon so I mixed it with my Water I seem to be doing okay as of now with that

Congrats!!!! I am 8 days post op and I was taking in about 7 ounces for 2 days... Didn't really measure in the hospital but I loved sucking on my ice chips! When I came home I could only get 1 whole bottle of Water or snapple down... As of yesterday I really started to enjoy my ice cold water! And I'm getting two bottles down now good luck!

Had my surgery 2-24-14 and I keep getting cramping on my left side as if I ran a mile... Anyone else experiencing this? And if so why?
