Yeah! You gave life. Nothing is ruined even if you feel like it. It takes a lot out of a woman to give life and then take care of that little one that depends on you. Give yourself a chance, you will get there.

I am 10 days post op and I am always hungry. The first 4 days I didn't even think about food, and now I'm always hungry. I drink my Water and my Protein Shakes too. Is there ANYTHING I can eat at this stage that won't hurt me. Oh and I had the gastric sleevr not lap band.

I did eat today and with my drink got all my Protein and almost all my Water im on my last 11 oz now. I see my doc. And nut. On thursday i plan on talking yo him about my fears

6 days post op... and it’s hell. I don’t want shakes or Soup, just Water. I ordered all these Unjury products and can’t stand the taste. 12 pounds down in 6 days but I know I can’t live off water and popsicles. Trying to stay strong.

I don't use a scale in public. I do weight, not volume. I've never been told to measure by volume but by weight. Volume changes, like 1/2 cup of popcorn is not 4 oz. 1/2 cup of chicken is WAY more than 4oz.

4 ozs is pretty much what I eat each meal. I use a scale. except when I'm out in public. at this point I know what 4 ozs of grilled chicken looks like so I'm pretty good to go in those situations.

My guidance was ounces by volume, not by weight, which is a little confusing since most people use scales to measure out their food.

Hi, wondering when to take my meds. For example: my Calcium supplements, it says to take at Breakfast and dinner but i should not drink just before a meal. What do you recommend?

So far this month, I've lost 8,5 kg (or 18,7 lbs) and I'm five (5) days away from being one month post-op. Since my excess weight is 79,7 kg, I've already surpassed the 10% mark.

My highest weight (start of preop diet) was 258. Day of surgery 242. Current 212. I'd like to get to 145. I'm 5'3"
So it'd be 113 lbs. I'm thinking I'll have loose skin.

Wow thanks for this info. I am actually day 7 post op and had no bowel movement. I don't feel too bad yet, mostly worried.

Crackers and toast are empty carbs, so be careful with them. I try to limit my "crunchy stuff" to raw veggies, parmesan crisps, nuts, Pork rinds, etc. Most of those are for later on, after the soft foods stage, though. Hang in there!

If it doesn't feel normal to you say something; speak up; call your surgeon's office. I hope you can look back on this day with a smile on your face soon. Feel better!
