I drink decaf. I waited til I was a month out to try it.

I wore a hospital gown and slippers. When I left the hospital I wore a loose pair of pants and a tank top with a zip up hoodie

Literally the only things I needed in the hospital were my phone and Chapstick! I used a pillow for the ride home too.

I didn't weigh in until my first post op appointment. That really helped me.

So I'm 2 months post op. I still have very hard BMs to the point where there's blood on the toilet paper when I wipe. Any suggestions to make them softer? They are usually quite painful. I'm getting in water...

If I don't take my Prilosec I can't keep anything down. But for sure call your surgeon!

Nope, carbs. I definitely eat that much protein (75 on average) but my carbs are usually around 50. Was just curious as to what others were eating per their NUT.

How many carbs a day are you eating? I'm curious to see what everyone else's NUTs have said. Mine said 75-100 g a day. I'm 6 weeks out. I often fall below, however.

I have a Jawbone UP 24 and a Fitbit charge hr. I like the jawbone app better but like the technology of the Fitbit more.

Are you chewing well enough? That happens if I forget to chew to mush.

I'm about 5 weeks out after surgery and still get tired easily but I feel my energy levels increasing!

I was told decaf was fine!

As hard as it may be, the more you walk the faster the gas goes away!!

I weigh once per week at home.

Yes. I was fine with it!

My incisions are barely healed. I'll be 4 weeks post op tomorrow. I am this week only beginning to bend over, lift a bit more, sleep on my stomach, etc. totally normal!

I literally used my cell phone and charger and my toothbrush in the hospital and I used a pillow on the ride home.

RNY 5/1/15!

Anyone can email me! I definitely write back! Chani.coady@outlook.com

I think I need your email!

Anyone have one? I just got one and would love to add some friends!

I wasn't in ICU.

I work in an office too and I took 3 weeks. The first week I was sore, exhausted and overall useless!

Definite try Syntrax Nectar! So good.
