. Congrats!! I know your super excited!!!

. It's the same with me but with fluids/drinks

Today is 4 weeks post op! Down from 278 to 266 at surgery date to 228 today! I had one setback- tested positive for C. difficile and was miserable. But I'm on the mend!!

I just tested positive for c difficile 3 weeks post op. It's no joke. Been on meds since last Thursday and just starting to feel better. The meds make me very nauseous. I have lost 38 pounds since April 8th surgery.

. Web md lists a whole bunch of things that can cause burning feet. Check it out but def call a doc about it!

. How did an infection in your kidneys start?

. Yeah!!!!!! Glad your feeling better!! I am 4 weeks out and still not able to advance to mushy food. I'm down 50 pounds and really craving some chicken!!

. You should still be on liquids only at 14 days. Are you taking nausea meds?

. I too freaked out about blood clots! So paranoid. I was doing the blood thinner shots twice daily and walking a ton. But one lil pain in my leg had me freaking out. Keep watch, walk, massage calves. The symptoms of blood clots in legs can be found online. I'm sure your just fine!! You have been through a lot and just paranoid of a set back.

. Gonna have a hard time, I don't like yogurt, cottage cheese, retried beans, tuna, fish. I found out today I tested positive for an infection from tan antibiotic they give u at surgery that can cause diahreah and nausea. So it most likely wasn't the mushy foods I tried but the infection. So have to take meds for 14 days and things should subside in next 3 days- I will try again then. I have had nothing but Gatorade since Tuesday

I had to go seethe surgeon today. Had diahreah - all bile and nausea. They prescribed something for the bile and did a stool sample test that I will get the results for tomm. Been sick since yesterday am and can hardly get any fluids in. This sucks! I have no energy and stomach sour- just miserable.

I started mushy food today and after two pea sized bites of eggs, I got sick. Diahreah all day and nauseous. Ugh

. Thanks!! I hate having an upset stomach all day over 2 pea sized bites. Ugh

First day for mushies. I tried one small bite of scrambled eggs and have been nauseous and upset tummy all day and diahreah. Can't hardly get in fluids. .

ok thanks!!

thanks. i appreciate it. I fear the dreaded 3 week stall I read about will happen. I hope not!

HI all. I will be 3 weeks post op tomm. Sw 278, date of surgery 266. I'm down to 239. Is this good? My doc doesn't talk pounds at this point just focuses on nutrition. I start mushy food tomm. Just want some feedback. Thanks all!

. What is the name of the FB support group?

. Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!!

. I'm still on full liquids but start mushy next week. I was told u don't feel restriction till mushy stage. sometimes I can't eat soup and still feel hungry but the next day it takes 3 bites and I feel like I ate a turkey. soup cream of wheat may just not fill u up. Keep trying other things

. The surgeon has you go see your primary doctor about 2-3 weeks before your surgery and to get a letter of medical clearance, they do about 8 diff blood tests. The surgeon gives you a piece of paper with all the tests needed when the time is right, you also get the EKG, the h pylori breath test. I wouldn't do any of them until he asks you too.

. I was hungry too- get your liquids in, protein shakes help with being hungry and heating pads always made the gas pains feel better when I wasn't walking

I feel same way. I'm two weeks post op. First three days I could just sip. I can drink as I did prior to surgery and don't really feel full. I'm on full liquids and start mushy food on Tuesday. I sure hope to feel the restriction!!!

. 2 weeks!! I am 2 weeks yesterday and I hardly feel like I has the surgery. Incisions are about 90 percent heeled! Some take longer each day is better!! Goodluck and congrats!

. No. Go see your doc!!
