HELLO I AM DAY 6 I WOKE UP FEELING GOOD BUT AFTER MY SHOWER AND FIX MY Breakfast I FEEL SO SICK RIGHT NOW I CANT EVEN DRINK MY BREAKFAST, I HAD TO TAKE A NAUSEA PILL. LAST NIGHT WAS RUFF I MUST SAY. I THINK I STRESSED THE MAIN INSISION AND IT BOTHERED ME ALL NIGHT THE ACHE WENT ALL THE WAY TO MY BACK. YES I WAS SCARED BUT I KNEW I WOULD BE OK. I THINK I AM HAVING A REACTION TO TRADER JOES SPICY BLACK BEAN Soup, KEY WORD SPICY LOL.

I WAS ABLE TO GET MY 60 GRAMS OF PROTIEN IN AND I THINK THAT MADE ME SICK AS WELL I WAS FORCING IT BUT I COULDNT FINISH IT NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED LOL.

I HOPE EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD THE SURGERY IS DOING WELL. PLEASE SHARE YOUR PROGRESS SO WE CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.

Well today I wake up not wanting to do anything including going to work' date=' it's a good thing I set my own schedule or I'd be late already. I don't know if I feel depressed because I was so disappointed with my first soft foods yesterday or the fact that its my birthday and I can't have any food or drinks that I like and my incisions are irritated and itch so bad, I'm leaving marks on my stomach from scratching so hard.

I really wanted to have my surgery before my birthday so I could start my new year with a whole new life, I got my wish but don't feel happy about it now. My surgery was 2 weeks ago today so hopefully things are better next week.

Sorry for the whiny post, I don't have anyone to vent to since I'm told this is what I wanted. Yes I wanted the surgery to hopefully not have the rare condition I have anymore since it might be weight related but it doesn't mean this isn't hard.[/quote']

Don't feel bad some of us are doin better then others & prayerfully our issues will go away soon... It can bring you down but just know that we will look back & laugh @ all this one & let's hope that's one day soon... Got on tr scale yesterday & it showed I lost 3lbs so that lifted my spirits some - wont weigh myself again till next Wed even though the scale seems to call my name every time I go into the bthroom - lol but I will try to resist the urge...

OK friends, just tried this protein shake recipe: 1 cup skim milk, 1 scoop Jay Robb chocolate protein powder, and 2 Tbs creamy peanut better (oh yeah!!!). Pretty darn good! I can't just eat peanut butter yet on day 10 but my doc said I could blend it into my shakes. I am feeling pretty shaky this afternoon so decided to drink a shake. I just can't drink it fast enough before it gets separated and warm. Oh well. Anyone else feeling shaky in the legs???

Ok friends... I need your help!

Im about 2 weeks post op and I'm having a very hard time getting in my fluids and protein.

I can't stand the taste of any of the protein shakes I've tried, I can eat soups and yogurt but that's not giving me enough protein. I've been able to eat babybel light cheese... Hope that's ok!

I can't seem to get more than 25-35oz of water in daily. I can't explain why... It's just very hard.

If I force myself on any of the above I slime.

What an I doing wrong???

I hear u-honostly today will b the 1st day I've gotten my water in...as far as protein, ur doin soups-so this eve I blended 4 oz of lean roast beef into some tomato basil soup-the soup alone has hardly any protein, but since I added the beef, it does..the meat is around 7grams per oz...now, it made a whole cup-but I'll eat what I can, & at least get more in than just soup alone...do u flavor ur water? Does the temp matter?

I do flavor my water with CrystalLight. I do tend to do better with warm liquids. I tried to eat some turkey chili today for lunch. I did ok but couldn't get more than 2oz in.

I am kinda happy and sad at the time. Went to my 1 week post-op appt at the doc. I only lost 9 lbs. Others have lost double that. I am happy to have lost but I thought it was more.

1 week post op for me!

WOW!! great weight loss. How much did you loose pre-op. I feel like my weight lose is slow i lost 12lb pre-op and only 7lb since surgery.

Well, as of this evening I learned that refried beans are NOT my friend...sigh..not yet anyway. I heated up some fat free spicy beans with a wedge of Laughing Cow Chipotle cheese and OMG so yumm-o....until....they got stuck.

So I got up and walked away. Came back later and took another bite and the same thing. So I guess my body isn't ready for that one. Oh well, the taste I had was great!

I tried the refried beans too and they made me soooooooooo sick. I stepped back to the liquids for a day. Today i made soft eggs and i had about 1/4 cup of that and I was full. It tasted great. I use 1 egg, a little 2 milk, and a sprinkle of cheese for extra protein.

I've been on a stall too. I'm not too worried. I see the dr. Tomorrow ill see what the dr. Suggest.

Lemme know what your doc says...

Did u thin the beans down a little? May b mix in a little salsa? Could they have been too thick?

man i only got in 400 cal today. wth. but i got 106 grams of protien. its funny because this moring i could barely get anything in and for dinner i ate and i am still hungry. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Wow glad to see everyone is doing good. My surg was on 9/12.... I'm already on soft foods but actually I can eat just about anything, and it seems like more than I should be able to. I must say this makes me a little nervous. Only being 2 weeks out and I'm already on a week stall is this normal????

I have the same date and have been stalled since I hit the week mark... It makes sense to me - not that I like it- but just wondering how long before I see any loss again? I probabaly get between 450 -600 calories in maybe- I couldn't do more. Hmmmm
