Yeah I probley do need to bump up my calories, I get about 500-600 daily! I log with my fitness pal!!! And it makes sense that I would need more working out so much!!! Thank you all for the advice!!

Hi! I'm a little over 2 months post op, and I'm stuck!!! I've lost 30 since surgery but these past 2 weeks i haven't lost a pound! Is this normal?? I'm just a little frustrated because this is what happens all the time, lose 30, stop losing gain it back!! Over and over always with the 30lbs! Anyone know what I can do? I go to the gym 6 days a week and eat plenty of protein!!! Thank u

I felt the same way, for the first few weeks but now I'm on puréed food and feel full after a few bites!!

Thank you everyone for the input!!!! I think I'm going to hold off on drinking if for now and ask my doc when I see him next, just to be sure!!

Hi I'm 2 weeks post op, am I allowed to drink coffee? I could swear my dr said I can have anything I want besides pop, anyone know?

Hey there kimpicc!! Thanks for Asking I'm feeling much better!!!!! Gas pain is gone except Occasionally and just exhausted and worn out but that's expected!! Congrats on your surgery day!! It will be here before you know it!!! My advice would be to make sure you let yourself heal, don't push yourself to get better ASAP just let your body do what it's going to do, expect chest pains from gas (no one told me This, so when I had it I was nervous, but my dr said it's completely Normal) and just walk walk walk as much as you can to break it up, and sip sip sip, take your time while drinking and don't eat anything your not supposed too.. Make sure you take the sperimatior they Give you in the hospital for Your deep breaths home with u and do that as much as possible That helps with the gas! And just take it day by day, it gets way easier!!! Good luck hope That helped!!

Glad to hear everything went well!!! Good luck with the recovery!!

Thank you so much that makes so much sense!!

I'm glad your coming along! I'm glad I'm not the only one!!! Idk I just thought is eat what I could and be of full to finish, I'll prob wait to see how it goes for this month then ask the doc when I see him next month for my one month...I hope I can be successful with this too esp since I've come this far!!

I am a week post op today, I didn't feel Hungary at all until Monday, but jello or protein shake would help! Starting yesterday I was able to add things like pudding, creamy soups and oatmeal, but I don't feel full after eating and now sure when to stop! Has anyone else experienced this? I thought I would have a full feeling after being able to add more things to my diet, why don't I??

Thank you for all the support!!! I'll be keeping everything you've said in mind when I'm feeling down!!

Thank you I'm glad I'm not the only one who had an emotional breakdown!! I don't expect him to be on the same kind of diet as me just to understand a little more! I didn't realize how much my life revolved around food until my surgery! Thank you for the advice, I'll def be distracting myself more when he's eating!

I am 5 days post op and on the liquid diet! My husband has been nothing but supportive during this entire process!! But this week the hardest week, he's been cooking all my favorite meals for himself! Today was my final straw when he is making himself fried egg sandwiches for breakfast!! It's been okay up until yesterday I actually felt Hungary for the first time since surgery, but I miss food! I just want to eats something and enjoy foods again! I know it gets better and hopefully tomorrow when I go for my post op they will tell me I can start puréed foods! But I feel like my husband just doesn't understand what I'm going thru, what it's like to not be able to eat whatever you want, whenever you want!! He sits and complains that he doesn't know what to make or that he's Hungary, yesterday we went to the grocery store and he complained cause everything looked good! I almost lost it on him!! How can I make him understand what I'm going thru? Has anyone else experienced this?

Thank u everyone for the advice!! I'm def going to start listening and stop thinking I'll be better right away! I should of known from the beginning that it does take time!!

Mine was the same time!! Yeah I was nervous too but it's over so quickly..mySurgery with a hernia repair Only took 28 mins!!! You'll do great! Good luck keep us all updated
