Gaby. You will do just fine. When you get there things happen quickly so it will be over before you know it

It gets better each day. It is a weird feeling with a different size stomach. Be patient

High wt 339 on February 4th. Surgery weight February 18th 321, 2-22 weight is 314

Let you know when I find it

To everyone who has not had surgery. Good luck. It seems as if everyday I am getting a little better. I just had to temper my expectations. Their goal for me was 32 ounces of Fluid and 30 grams of Protein. Yesterday it took me the whole day, and by 4:30 I have met the goal. It is truly a different experience getting used to your pouch.

Emzbee of course you can admit your “disappointment in your first weeks weight loss. There’s so much in play with just having the surgery that our success is not measured by this first week. I too wish I would have lost more in the last 9 days, but I try to remind myself this is just the beginning. I think it’s just fueled by the fear of not being successful.

I am 3 days post op. How is my stomach supposed to feel? I am trying to drink one Premier Protein drink a day which is 30 grams of Protein. I am trying to sip it sitting up or reclining.

You will do fine. Just do not go in there with any expectations. Don’t expect to recover instantly.

Battle scars from surgery

I am scheduled for February 18th. I will be first in. Wow, this process takes forever.

I was still in the hospital at that time. I had little plastic shot glasses I was drinking from and they wanted me to do 6 an hour with Protein being the most important. I could only do 2 protein and was full so I'd do a couple Water too. My roommate on the other hand could hit her 6 easy. Do your best to get in what they told you to over the course of the day and I found as the swelling came down I was able to drink more. A couple days after being home I was able to drink 2 Protein Shakes and half the liquid they wanted over the course of the day. Now at day 10 I can get all my liquids in.
