I had surgery on Apr. 9th and I've only lost 10lbs. in 3wks. My doctor told me I need more protein at least 60mgs and I was at 40mg which causes my body to go into starvation mode and it's holding on to the fat. So that was Wed. and today is Sunday and I still have not lost a lb.
I am 11 day post-op, I'm still a little sore and having gas pains I'm taking Gas-X per my surgeon and it works, I becamed constipated yesterday and I took 2 tbsps of MOM. with water it taking a long time to work. But other than that I am doing fine, Still changing bandgages from my J-P drain that was removed last Wed. the fluids are very little pink. My Surgeon told me it could be another week before it closes completely and stop draining. I have a total weight loss of 8lbs.
