Thanks, I am pushing the fluids as much as I can

Ok, i gained in the hospital 12 lbs, that was scary enough, after the fifth day of surgery I lost the 12 lbs but i am still not losing any more. I am walking, taking Vitamins, drinking about 48oz a day and trying to stomach as much Protein as possible.

Any suggestions, I am walking between 1-2 miles a day. am i expecting to much....

That is awesome, try mixing smaller amount of Fluid to Protein. Water is my issue. But I'm drinking lemonaid Dr says that's fine. Out walking mall today feels so great

Thanks everyone, I am excited. I am not working but after graduation I will be actively pounding the pavement. it is awesome that there are sites like this that have chats where others tell it like it is and no sugar coating the procedures or post-op. that is important to continue to strive in recovery and to a healthy lifestyle.

Thanks James,

I am trying, i am trying to make less to drink but add the same amount of Protein and then dink over a time frame of 30 minutes. When it comes to my Water two swallows and I'm done for about 20 minutes. I am happy with the results so far. losing thae Water gain from the hospital was a big deal for me, I worked hard to lose 30 lbs in the 6 months. Now I can focus on the rest of my journey. tomorrow I hit the gym for a slow walk on tread mill.

That is great. I feel the same. I am full of energy. I am actually graduating with my BA in less than 2 weeks. I am so excited. This journey has been a long one. From every diet and exercise program I could do. This is a journey to a new life, a healthy life and a longer life. I will be able to keep up with my grandchildren, go biking on trails, and possibly next summer take my son up on a mountain hike up a mountain in Alaska.

My surgery was Friday, September 25, 2015. Weighed at home 226.6. The only soreness was from the gas in my body, there was no other pain. I was nuisance the morning after surgery, but did not get sick. I did bruise a lot on left side lower incision. Research shows this could be where the camera and gas was inserted. Now I did stay to Sunday morning. I am doing my fluids, Vitamins, and Protein but it is hard to drink any more than a couple oz. At a time. I gained 12lbs of fluids while in hospital but as of today the 29th I am back to pre-surgery

weight. Time for my journey to begin.
