    How are the May sleevers doing?

    What are you complaining about? I am 2 months post op today and I have lost just 22 pounds. It takes time. I have been able to only get down 2 quarts of water per day.

    Why am I going to the bathroom all the time?

    Yes I am post op.

    Hospital bag

    I think you are over doing it a little bit. You wont even be thinking about three quarters of those items when you get out of surgery.

    I am not talking about going pee I am talking about going number 2 all the time.
  5. I have been disappointed in my weight loss. At my surgery day I was 261 with a bmi of 36. Right now I weigh 239. I called my Dr about it and they told me that I was doing well. I guess we who have low bmi's just lose slower even though we arent eating much. My goal weight is 178.

    Water/Liquid Intake

    I am drinking a vanilla protein shake right now. So I will get 40 grams of protein today.

    Water/Liquid Intake

    There is alot of protein in lentils and black beans which I eat tiny portions of through the week. I have some black beans in the crock pot right now.

    Water/Liquid Intake

    Well I am going to start using protein powder made with milk. I put it in the blender and make a shake with it. I was using sweetened protein powder and it was too rich for my stomach and it made me feel sick.

    Water/Liquid Intake

    My water intake is not where it should be either. I am getting about 2 liters per day. When I drink too much water my gut hurts.

    Water/Liquid Intake

    I have an unsweetened protein powder that has 20 grams of protein per scoop but I have no used it yet I just bought it. I am going to make some black eyed beans in the crockpot today and that should provide some nice protein.

    Water/Liquid Intake

    I am 2 months post op as of tomorrow the 9th of July and I do not get near 300 calories a day. I have only lost 21 pounds so far. Two little yogurts and I am full. I try and eat a little bowel of oatmeal in the morning with a tablespoon of brown sugar.
  13. Thank you for your response to my question.
  14. well it is too late I already took 2 of them today.

    Wife not Supportive

    I would go down to the County Courthouse and file for a divorce. If she cant be supportive then she wont be supportive after the surgery.
  16. I had a burrito with salsa and my stomach hurts.
  17. On July 3rd I went to my favorite bar and had 3 Irish coffees and nothing happened. I barely caught a buzz. I didnt get sick or get an upset stomach. I am 2 months post op and it was nice to watch the soccor game on the TVs and sip my Irish coffee. Now this does not mean I will do this all the time but now and then it is a nice stress reliever.

    I had 3 Irish coffees and nothing happened

    Well I really thought there was a possibility that I might get a slightly upset stomach but no, it did not get that. I didnt even catch a buzz. I dont need to be drinking alcohol and will not be doing that again for a while.

    Regret it

    It doesnt matter what my Dr would recommend. It worked for me.
  21. I found that after surgery I cannot eat scrambled eggs or cheese. They make me gag.

    My surgery was May 9. I started working out 1 week ago. It really helps me.
