No gas pain just pain where they took my stomach out

I know what you mean, that is what hurt me the most after my surgery. I kept a pillow with me and held it against my body when getting up, coughing, sneezing, etc, it helped a lot. The good news is after about a week it starts hurting a little less every day! Good luck!

Hi fellow September Sleevers... wondering if anyone has a sample menu of their soft/puréed phase that was 2-3oz Protein 1-2oz carbs each meal and managed to get 70g protein... I'm lost and will be on Phase 2 of post op diet next week. Thanks so much

My first post op is tomorrow and I'm excited to go weigh in and even more excited to hopefully progress past liquid diet. I've been reading posts about not knowing what to make. I researched puréed food diets and there are several pages of ideas. But here is an example an example. http://jeanetteshealthyliving.com/2011/03/collection-of-pureed-soups-curried.html

Loving my decision so far!

I had my first post op appointment with surgeon today. He was not happy that I only lost 11 pounds in the last 9 days. Told me I need to work harder.

He cleared me for bike riding today so maybe that will help!

That sounds tough. It is at least a pound a day.

Hey everyone! It's been some days since my last post. I am doing well since my surgery September 13th. For the most part it has been easy except the occasional crave. How do you combat the cravings? I haven't weighed myself but I can tell a major difference in how I feel. I still can't wait to get past this point. Did anyone ever go through buyer's remorse? I did at first but as I get back to feeling more normal I feel better. I thank you all again for the words of encouragement and advice. It has helped more than you can imagine. :)

Glad to hear you are doing so good! I have had more than a few of those 'buyers remorse' moments...Sometimes when my husband is making his dinner I almost have panic attacks thinking 'what have I done to myself' or 'I'm never gonna be able to eat food again', that's when I start telling myself that this surgery is saving me from myself and I will eat food again, just not the huge quantities I used to eat! That usually helps!

I know I will be able to eat normal food real soon. But it's just so hard at times. I finally got over the discomfort of drinking. Now if I can do the same with eating. I hate that bloated feeling. Luckily I haven't been sick. I heard horror stories of people eating too much and getting sick.

I had my post op, 9 days out 17lbs. I focused really hard in walking 3-4 times a day 15-30 minutes and. Forced myself to sip, sip, sip all the time. The dr and nurse were surprised but very happy with the loss. I'm happy to be on the losers bench

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
