It could be any number of things related or unrelated to your surgery so definitely get seen sooner than later. What helps figure it out quicker is knowing exactly where the pain is, so be clear when being evaluated. Below you can find videos on abdominal pain (Disclaimer: I really don’t recommend self diagnosis because it’s a slippery slope to self treatment so these are just to help you inform your doctor better.)

It’s so soon after surgery that you are surely still feeling the effects of fluid retention and inflammation. Also weight loss will be the easiest the the first 12 months post op (not the first 3 days) so don’t lose hope. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/weight-gain-after-surgery https://www.stylecraze.com/articles/main-reasons-for-weight-gain-after-surgery/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5389231/

Early on I measured by volume (1/8 cup etc), later by weight (3 oz of protein) and now by sight (palm of my hand). I think it’s easier by volume in the beginning because you can estimate how much food can comfortably “fit” when you aren’t necessarily worried about calories. But weighing helps when it comes to protein estimation when you reach the solid food stage. Good luck!

Ha! No. I often wonder why certain people were singled or coupled and honestly there’s no rhyme or reason to it. However, romance films suggest that your soulmate is probably trying to find you but your schedules are opposite, live in a different part of the world or don’t speak the same language.

I found an interesting and balanced article on the subject: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/03/27/will-the-ozempic-era-change-how-we-think-about-being-fat-and-being-thin?utm_source=nl&utm_brand=tny&utm_mailing=TNY_Daily_032023&utm_campaign=aud-dev&utm_medium=email&utm_term=tny_daily_digest&bxid=5be9e2232ddf9c72dc4a2663&cndid=51564709&hasha=504e4145699f9da4b12b69443f9d7ebf&hashb=3cd25b667ad02140a708f8e6a3e1ab73feb8f967&hashc=cbbe2e904e1960df9de6a41bf93151fd5dc0bcd13428be51382d9a5227bbde69&esrc=VERSO_NAVIGATION

A scratch made blueberry cheesecake pop tart during a recent trip. It looked great but unfortunately I didn’t sample it because I didn’t want the consequences, but it gave me ideas for making my own low sugar version one day.

This post made me thirsty ?

These surgeries are robot assisted. A.I. will not autonomously perform the surgery. A surgeon is still in control… unless the hospital is a subsidiary of Cyberdyne Industries ?. https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/robotic-surgery/about/pac-20394974

If he hasn’t had imaging or an endoscopy done yet that would be my next step. If the provider refuses, tell him to ask the provider to document the refusal and reason. Good luck to him

Sometimes thirst can be mistaken for hunger. Definitely keep plugging away at your hydration goals. Congratulations!

Congratulations!

I also just use salad plates but whatever helps with motivation is a good thing to me!
