I had surgery Sept 26 and at home now eating 4 ounces of pureed food every two hours. I didn't realize i would hurt so much!

Hi my name is Gerry and i live in Rome Ga. My heaviest weight was 240 this summer...Im 5'2" tall. With finishing the diet and two weeks of shakes I weighed in day of surgery at 207. I came home weighing 215 due to be hydrated like a wet sponge and bow down to 203. Surgery was Sept 26 2012. I walk often cause pain is worse after eating and drinking. I eat 4 ounces every 2 hours. I hope this works.

Good job ladybug! My surgery wad the 10th, i came back to office after 2 weeks.which was probably to soon for me.they had to repair a ruptured hiatal hernia while they were in there. So i am still in a lot of pain in my belly button area. Bless those of you who are able to eat every 2 hours, i am doing good to easy twice a day....i want so badly to find my silver lining already, but have not got there yet. Day of surgery 236, today 213...= -23 lb.in 3 weeks, but i just wish i felt better to truly appreciate it....

FACEBOOK PAGE!!!!! September to Remember 2012 RNY yeah i finally did it sorry it took so long' date=' send a request as i did keep it closed for privacy reasons, you will see my husband is on there i will remove him as I had to add at least one person in order to get the group open. If for any reason anyone doesn't not want the group CLOSED i can open it. I just thought with photo stealing and unwanted advertising, plus then anyone on facebook could post and open comments they wanted to with out joining the group.... yea.... i hope you all happy... but please dont stop coming to this forum as i still find a lot of good information. i just figured FB would be nice to get to know another and share pics and additional information in a easier format. hope you enjoy...[/quote']

I have been passing a little gas, still no BM...and I can tolerate drinking a little cold with a little pain and warm liquids. I have climbed 2 flights of stairs but I'm still taking it easy....my taste buds haven't changed because I am constantly thinking of all the yummy food inventions I will create... :( bored with broths, jello and Popsicles

Disclaimer: period question!

So yesterday night I randomly started bleeding. My cycle is the 15th. It is very heavy and I have gone through 3 super tampons. Anyone experience this?

Surgery 9/24/12 344 9/29/12 327.8

Got mine today 2 days before surgery, not suppose to happen until next week Monday.

I'm on pills that make it so I only have one every 3 months and they are so light I just have to wear a pantie liner. I started a period about a week ago which wasn't when it was suppose to be and has been really heavy and I have really bad period cramps it sucks, I have read on here about this happening to a lot of women after surgery so I am bearing with it.
