      Great job, Peach!! I have been at 47 down for a week, really hoping for that magic 50... tomorrow is 5 weeks out after bypass.

      Wow! Way to go girl. So proud for you. You are my inspiration.

  6. 9 days post-op and doing great! It's a whole new world, here I come!

      I hope and pray I can do as well as you have.

  7. One week post-op and have lost all the fluid from surgery plus 2 more pounds. Get to start soft foods tomorrow.

    1. Katie K Kitt

      Katie K Kitt

      Good for you! I am day 6 post-op and finally have lost the fluid weight and a couple more too. Today and tomorrow left on clear liquids then onto full liquids. Yay!

    2. lexiemia

      lexiemia

      Yay! Sounds like you are progressing well. Are you able to get all your fluid and protein in at this point?

    3. VDB

      VDB

      Don't forget -- Cream of Wheat (non-instant) with added protein powder -- is the best early soft food I enjoyed....

      Oh WOW that is Awesome... So happy to hear that you are doing so great and had a good day!

  9. Post-op day 4, things are finally beginning to settle down. It is a different feeling for sure but I am finally getting used to it. Day 3 was when I was finally able to get a decent amount of fluids in, things are looking up!

    1. djay210

      djay210

      5 days out and still can't get enough fluids in! Just don't want them :-(

    2. ShrinkingPeach

      ShrinkingPeach

      I have struggled as well...at 40 ounces a day and climbing...really have to push fluids. I think the swelling of the surgery makes it difficult at first. I spoke to my NUT yesterday and she said its normal and to keep pushing.

      Peaches...I only wanted to drink water right after the surgery. Everyone told me not to use a straw, but I find I can get more liquids down with the straw. It does not seem to gas me up, thankfully! Keep a cup of water close and sip during commercials.

      You poor thing. As Jane13 said though, you're not entirely alone - though I can only imagine how unnerved you must be to be physically alone at this point. Let us know if you need anything.
