I was going very well with Protein Shakes now if I try to drink them I throw up. The same thing with milk or cheese. The only thing I eat is 1 egg for Breakfast and I buy a rotisserie chicken from Walmart once a week and make chicken salad with light mayo. 3ozs of that for lunch and dinner. I don't know if I am getting enough Protein. I tried different protein shakes but the taste makes me throw up. Any suggestions?

I wish it was coming off faster but at least I am losing. Doing everything right (eating/ working out). About 2 week after surgery I hit a three week stand still but it looks like I am losing again. Ready for the new me!

Hi Dennis, my surgery was Thursday & I was released Saturday. Out of curiosity, do you still have a drain pouch? Where is your pain?

What did you eat to make you dump? I'm so afraid of this.

I took mine my adderral the next day and was fine.

Got excited to eat purée foods for the first time and over did it on a meal. Dumping is no joke and I will not be experiencing that again. Throwing up and this feeling of food going up in down was very painful and lasting for about an hour.

Ok I have been walking 3 miles everyday so far outside but this heat is something else. I have plenty of energy and feel I can do more but I will wait for my appointment next week with doc and see what he says.

I was going to gym and doing cardio before my surgery and wonder when is to soon to go back. I am a week post op and very bored sitting around the house and just walking neighborhood. Can I go to the gym and do cardio?

What kind of surgery did you have?

Left hospital on Tuesday with no pain but I think I over did it walking too much and was in bed the rest of the day. Hope it gets better. How long does pain last?

I just had surgery on Monday and went home Tuesday

I was supposed to start a week ago but I just went cold turkey today. I hope I didn't mess up my chances to have my surgery on the 11th!

Where are the pics?

Started my 2 wk preop liquid diet for my July 10 surgery.....I know what you feel like to be unprepared! My BMI is 37, and it has been for the last year. I haven't really lost any since I have made the decision to have the surgery last fall.
These next 2 weeks are going to be tough-5 day camping trip with the family...those Protein Shakes aren't exactly beer and smores-so, I am just dreading this. But I think about how bad I hate being fat. it consumes my every day and I hate myself for that.
I am sure that everyone here has similar feelings, but it doesn't make this much easier!

My surgery is July 10! Pre op appointment in two days. Very excited even though it is close it stills seems like it is dragging. I need to push my self to get serious about this pre op diet. It is just hard to know that I will not be able to eat certain foods.
