  13. For me was maybe an hour to check my results and address any concern that i might have , for us was informative as my husband went with me and got all his answers .
  14. I was on the dietician for my six week follow up , officially graduated from purée to soft food, it went well continue to follow the guidelines and my protein was reduced now to 72-90 grams per day so I do not need much supplements these days , I am struggling do to get enough water with the 30 min rule and being hungry all the time . Surgeon appointment was also really fast just checked on healing and everything is fine . How are you doing ?
  15. I am doing great, as I am starting to eat gets easier, I have my 6 weeks post op tomorrow, I have lost 50 lbs since I started, 20 pre-op the rest after the surgery. If I can say something is that I am having a hard time to move to the soft stage foods, unsure why something to discuss with the dietician I guess I am worried about hurting my stomach.
  16. I can not go above 600 cal. usually between 470 - 600 per day . My surgeon was Dr. Nguyen. My starting weight 334 lbs, surgery weight 311, todays weight 283 lbs , total lost 51lbs, 23 pre-op and 28 post op. I do recall that I was really scared, I am not a fan of surgeries but the anesthesia kicked in and the surgery happened. I was told that it was like 90 minutes, the doctor called my family as well the recovery nurse they kept them informed all the way. I woke up in the recovery room, they have around 2 people per nurse. I actually felt ok no pain or nausea, the nurse told me that she was surprised as almost everyone will wake up with nausea. From there they wait until I actually was able to walk and go to the bathroom and then I was moved to the room upstairs. I was given morphine and something for the nausea on the IV. Pain was bearable I was encouraged to walk as soon as possible I did and it was ok no pain at all . I was release from the hospital after one night with some acid reducers and pain medication. I trew up once while in the hospital and once at home beside that nothing much to say. I am very tolerant to pain so my recollection might not be the normal What was more difficult was to find a protein powder that I do like, I end up doing some research and the only ones that I do like is Genepro which I order in amazon and premier protein which i do get at cotsco , this week I started to eat soft foods which made a huge difference as I do not depend as much on protein powder. I also started taking prune juice diluted to avoid constipation which helped greatly. Recovery was uneventful , I felt very tired the second week I had to take naps after that the third week I was back to normal What I can tell is while I was scared I have followed every instruction from the doctor and dietician the weight keeps melting and also the pain, I had knee, ankle and shoulder pains due to my weight , it has been the best decision ever . This Friday I have an appointment for follow up with my dietician , I hope it goes ok.
  17. I had surgery Jan 27 in Richmond Hospital feel free to email me if any question monicaferegrino@hotmail.com
  18. Maybe my doctor have me in 3 full weeks liquid diet after surgery I can hardly make 300-400 calories I get all Protein intake thanks to the Protein powder , good news is that next Friday I can start purée foods hope it helps
  19. I am the same exactly three weeks and stall it is frustrating as I am barely eating I guess my body is just fighting it to keep as it use to be deep breath and patience I guess
