I may have just pulled something and it is really tender but I have no

idea. anyone else experienced this?

I had ask my nurse because I was having some pain also in the same spot but mine was my incision was irritated from my pants and hurt she told me if I was to start having any stabbing pain or hurting when you pushed down on the area to call my surgeon that it could be a hernier so you should call your surgeon and let them know your having that pain

Sunette, I just tried to invite you again, but it says you've already been invited.

I should be all caught up with the invites to the group at this point. Let me know if I missed you. Also, anyone who is already a member can invite other people, so you could help me out so I don't have to do it all. There is a link at the top of the group page that says 'Invite by email'. Thanks

U have done well. All the best

Hello Everyone! I officially started down my new road to health on March 25, 2013- NJ Bariatric Center -Dr. Angela Glassnap (formerly Dr. Jack) was my surgeon. So far luckily everything seems to be going as well as expected, especially for the changes made to my body. I think the hardest part for me during the day of and day after surgery was missing my (3) best friends (dogs) while in the hospital…lol!

My 1^st week post-op follow-up doctor appointment put me down 15lbs, I love it. I’m currently on what my doctor calls Stage 2 – Soft Foods. I am having a little bit of a hard time with that because I don’t like any type of fish (gag reflex kicks in) other than shellfish (not sure if I can have shellfish) and fish is one of the main proteins listed. I have had egg whites in the morning with a pinch of cheese (couldn’t hack them without) also tried refried beans on 4 crackers yesterday and they seemed to go down ok. I make sure slowly throughout the day that I have (2) Premier Shakes so I at least get a minimum of 60g of Protein (not including the few proteins from the 1/4c eggs) daily still. It also makes things easier since I went back to work on week 2, so far so good. I do have to say my biggest problem is slowing down and not drinking during eating. I’m working on that though, somebody posted an App “Eat Slow” and I’m going to try it this evening.

Thanks for letting me tell a little bit of my experience…I wish everyone that has had March Surgeries the best of luck.

I do have a question if anyone could help…Can I have Egg Drop or Hot N Sour soup form a Chinese restaurant at this stage? I have seen a few debates back and forth and I was wonder what others thoughts are.
