  1. May 6 surgery date. I just weighed again and since Tuesday I've lost 1 lb. 1 lb in 5 days. And I am following doctor's orders 100%. And I'm terrified I've poor myself through all this for nothing. How the hell am I eating basically nothing and not losing weight?

    5 days post op, diarrhea.

    Thanks guys!
  3. I'm following all my instructions to a T. The only thing I'm struggling with is Water and Protein. But I was just allowed to stay Protein shakes today. Thursday when I came home, I took a cap of miralax in my water. Friday at noon, I took another dose in water. A few hours later I felt a rumbling and went to the bathroom. I pooped four times last night and decided I didn't need to take any more miralax. I'm five days out. Today I started protein shakes, per my instructions. I mixed mine in a blender with a cup of skim milk, a scoop of protein, and some ice. It takes me a long time to get it down since I'm sipping. But I do. I've had gas and diarrhea today, I've gone 4 times. Is this the effects of the miralax? Am I lactose intolerant? Do I need to call my nut? Sorry if this had been asked before. I tried to search but didn't find anything. I'm on my phone app so it's difficult to navigate.

    I am not hungry. I ended up writing a schedule so I know I can fit in meals, Vitamins, and medicines. The carafate is the worst since I can't take it 1 hour before meals and 2-3 hours after meals. Getting fluids in is tough. I have my sippy that I keep filled and try really hard to get my fluids in.

    I had my surgery May 6. Left the hospital yesterday. Haven't had the Norco since I left the hospital. It made me very tired and didn't help enough for it to be worth it for me to take. I gained 14 lbs of weight from before my surgery till I was discharged from the hospital. It was all Water weight, and I was so bloated. I was up every hour, sometimes every half hour to pee last night and I've shed quite a bit I'd the water weight. I'm still tired, but not so tired I fall asleep eating my meals like I did in the hospital. I try to take it easy and rest when I can. Remember that we aren't getting a lot of calories to help us heal!
