Me too, our town parade is in two weeks and I'm also 6 weeks post op. We usually start out day at 9am. Lol. I haven't drank yet but I was figuring that I'll just get myself an airplane shot of vodka and some cran juice and just nurse that as long as I can. I Dont know what else to do. Lol

I'm 5 weeks post op and been in a stall since week 3. How long did yours last???
-
It is frustrating. I know it's common...but enough is enough already. Lol
-
I take em every day! I even took mine in hospital too.

Tomorrow is a coworkers bday party and everyone brings in snacks/goodies. I want to contribute but also would like to enjoy some. Any ideas what to bring that's protein packed that I can eat as well as my coworkers would enjoy.

I'm 1 month post op, on solid foods now, but I feel hungry every 2-3 hours. Is this normal,or am I not eating enough when I do eat? I always eat high protein foods. I can't imagine that eating every two three hours would be good.

Hi ladies, I haven't had the surgery done yet, i go next week. but I keep getting concerned with how the loose skin is gonna look btwn the stomach,the girls and other lady parts. Have any of you had any sort of plastic surgery procedures? And do tell what you had done (if ya Dont mind sharing) and the average cost for that procedure.

I was totally just thinking shrimp!!!! Awesome ideas everyone. Thanks -
has anyone had it done post op,if yes how much of the contrast did you drink? I'm going for one tomorrow and the radiology center has me drinking 2 big bottles. One tonight and one tomorrow morningI'm wondering if that's too much being that I don't have a normal sized stomach anymore

Hard lump on left side

Same thing for me as kellsbells. It was a pooling of blood. Was gone like two weeks later for me. -
I have RA as well....,I was taken off of my Enbrel for two weeks before surgery, two weeks after. That's what both my surgeon and rheumatologist agreed on.

How are you getting in all your protein? From shakes or from foods? There's no way to get in all protein from foods since i can't eat that much. I'll drink a premier protein but that's only 30 grams, and that leaves me to get in another 30+. So, I guess I should just continue with 2 shakes a day?? I would much rather to do it with food. Ugh....I'm having a tough time doing this.
-
How long after surgery were you using it? I made the STUPID mistake of not doing it for a few days after surgery and couldn't find out why I was in pain every time I breathed until doc told me. But three weeks out tomorrow and I'm still doing it. I feel like when I go to sleep, and wake up that all the progress I made the day before is gone. Anyone else still doing it weeks out?
-
No, I didn't have one.
-
Its just the deep breathing that is tough. I didn't do it as much as I should have when they sent me home from the hospital with the breathing spirometer. And I couldn't get in deep breaths. I was as my surgeons office and told him and he said that I need to do that. So I started doing it and it has gotten way better....but not 100%.
-
I had one, but only cause I was told to stay in bed due to complications after surgery. Otherwise, I would have never gotten one.
-
Unfortunately, I can't eat meats yet. Only fish...and I am NOT a fish lover at all. I will eat tuna, but I'm Tryin to get protein in with tuna and eggs. Unflavored protein in tuna is worth a shot.
-
11 oz? I'm two weeks post op today, and I'm not having a problem at all getting my liquids in at all. And I'm noticing that I'm finishing my premier protein shake pretty quickly. I'm doing it in less than an hr and a half (maybe even closer to an hour). Ill discuss with my doc tomo, just wanna make sure I'm not doing any damage to my new tummy!

how long is it taking you to drink

I had one nurse too that drove me crazy, but luckily she was only working one night. (I had a three night stay) -
Im two weeks and two day post op and just started soft foods yesterday. Today I'm having an egg white omelette with a little bit of reduced fat cheese and I'm almost done and still no full feeling. I'm convinced the surgery wasn't done. LOL!!! How am I supposed to know when I'm full when I don't feel it?
-

boosh10 replied to boosh10's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the tips. My doc said measure 4 oz for food ,does that seem like a lot? and to take about 1/2 hr to eat. I see ppl on here saying only 2 oz at first. -
