Thanks trying hard 130 lbs in 6 months. Hoping it will inspire others to pull the trigger. Best decision by a mile.

Husband and I have a motorhome. Before surgery, showering in the motorhome shower was uncomfortable. If I didn't stand a certain way, my butt would hit the side of the shower. And washing certain parts was a challenge because I couldn't contort my body in the right way. Well, now that I'm down 106#, I LOVE the motorhome shower. No hitting the side of anything with my butt. I can move around and wash everywhere with ease. Now I just need to get out of there and end my spa-like motorhome showers before we run out of hot water!

Caffeine acts like a diaretic in your system and it's to early for Decaf coffee unless your surgeon says it's okay to have a little.
When it comes to eggs you will be able to have them as soon as you are on soft food and I think cheese also but don't quote me about that.
Glad to hear you're doing okay that great.
Take care and keep coming back.

Our Dr had us drink 4-5 Protein drinks/day, sf Jello and sf popsicles and of course lots of Water. The Protein powder juices like nectar brand are good and we drink Premiere Protein and Adkins.
congrats and good luck!

I had sleeve to RNY revision on 10/21. I have lost 57lbs. My recovery was more difficult 2nd surgery, but I don't regret it for a minute. Love my bypass. I will be 6 months out on the 21st and hope to be 60+ lbs down

As I've posted before I am having some problems with pain. I am 3 weeks post op and the pains I am having starts in the middle of my breast bone and it radiates. Every 45 seconds and last for 7 seconds. My doctor did a CT scan today and says everything is fine but this pain is just getting so bad it's hard to eat or drink anything. Tomorrow they want to run more tests and blood work. I am wondering if this pain is hunger pain but I really don't know exactly how it "feels". When I speak to my doctors nurse practitioner they draw a blank and have no answers. I know this is a long post I just wanted to know if anyone had any clues. Could this be hunger pains that just hurts more when I eat or drink because it's getting food?

All I know is that if I make it another days on this awful liquid diet it will be a miracle!!

Day 3. Much better today. I don't feel like I'm starving but for some reason I'm incredibly thirsty and I've been guzzling Water which is a good thing but I have an unquenchable thirst no matter how much water I drink. I wonder what's up with that?

Pinkjess29 reacted to Inner Surfer Girl in My surgeon says no protein supplements until week 5. Does this sound right to you? June 15, 2016

My surgeon was the exact opposite. He wanted us to prioritize getting in all of our Protein as soon as we were cleared for fluids (after the leak test).He said there is no physical reason anyone couldn't drink 3 premier Proteins in one day. I credit getting in my 100 grams of protein every day with the ease of my recovery and success so far.
