Ugh...im So Weak

[pmartin323 13]

Thursday will be 2 weeks since having my gallbladder removed and Gastric Plication. I was banded in 2010, and I know I was not this weak after nearly 2 weeks on liquids. I am so ready for pureed food and to getting my strength back, and just feeling better. Other than the weakness I am doing great! I am no longer in pain...yay... I am just ready for something other than liquids. Thanks for letting me vent, I feel a little better.

BTW, does anyone have any idea about how much you can eat after gastric plication, or a site that may be helpful, I ceretainly do not want toover do it, I have a feeling that I will not be able to eat 3oz. of Protein as well as vegetables.

Thanks to all

P,

Have you been getting enough Protein and drinking at least 64 ounces of liquids a day? You might want to give your surgeon a call and get some feedback on the weakness you're feeling.

I don't know much about gastric plication, but you could check out this site:

I have plication but only 2cc in my band since I am only 6 weeks post-op. My pouch holds about a cup right now. I know with more fills it will hold less. Love that plication!

Again thank you all, even the best wishes. I am feeling much better, and I pretty sure it is due to forcing myself to drink more Protein. I am looking forward to starting pureed, at least it will be a different texture and at the top of my list is chicken salad, and good ole.pimento cheese, and some hummus, all without crackers of course.
