Your pouch will definitely let you know when you've had enough. Pay attention to your body

Put a pillow in between you and the seatbelt on your way home! It really helps!

Were you paying for a private or semi private room?

I use Tylenol. I ate a lot of Popsicles and protein shakes!

I lost about 7.

Refried beans with cheese and mild salsa, omelets, ricotta with spaghetti sauce and Parmesan, meatballs.

I'm 3 weeks post op and average about 500 cals a day right now.

Did anyone else experience insanely dry skin post op? I normally have pretty oily skin and there is like zero moisture left for me! Any tricks besides lotion?

I was told 30 minutes.

Same here! My surgeon said it would go away!

Congrats!!

For me it's the fact that I can't eat as much and sweets make me dump.

I will go back next week after 3 weeks off.

I paid around 300 out of pocket. Not bad!

Have you tried unflavored protein powder to add to stuff like applesauce or eggs?

I took 3 weeks. I was useless the first and tired the next two but managed to get a few things done around the house.

Anyone interested in being email pen pals? For added support and stuff. Maybe once comfortable we could exchange addresses and send each other little goodie boxes!

If you're gassy, try walking. It helps me!

Yes!! For the past few weeks! Mine has gotten better with alternating walking and resting. It's worst for me at night but it's more of a weird feeling and not pain. My surgeon said it should go away on its own.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. I would get a new doctor, pronto.

I've been having small amounts of ricotta cheese topped with sauce and Parmesan...heaven in a bowl. Also retried beans with a bit of cheddar on top.

Good luck!! Will be thinking of you!

@@betchaican i would love to be a buddy! we had different surgeries but i think that's ok!

Can I jump on this bandwagon? Chani.coady@outlook.com

I wasn't a fan of cherry. I liked cappuccino, peach, lemonade, and sweet tea. I actually bought more of the cappuccino flavor. Oh I blend in my Nutribullet, stick it in the fridge and let the froth settle before I drink.
