Hello all-

It has taken me awhile to post something since I have been busy with school and family. I will be one month post -op come Tuesday of next week and all is well. No nausea. No pain. No complications. All the food I am able to eat stays in my belly and I stay hydrated. I'm already down 20 pounds total this week. So including the weight watchers and surgery I've lost 74 lbs.

Does anyone know if the Facebook page was ever created?

Yes just request an invite

Glad to hear everything is working out for you!

So I started mushy stage with scrambled egg with cheese. Since I took 25 min to eat the eggs congealed a bit and were very cold by the time I was on my last bite. Not so appetizing!

Egg salad the next day much better. Spilled my protein drink so i ate a smal amount of cooked hamburger with blue cheese dressing chewed and chewed and chewed tolerated it well. Today egg salad for breakfast then I crock potted skinless chicken breasts with broth onion and carrots then magic bulletted it. Plus I made a cauliflower casserole that was beyond yummy. All went down well I eat slow chew well( even though it's purreed) just for the practice. Also I follow the 30/30 rule which I must admit I thought would be way harder.

Where is everyone ? Hope you are all hanging in there. 3 of my 5 incision sites are getting a little red and sore. I am treating them with wound cleanser and neosporin hope to god it doesn't become mrsa

My doctor said not to treat wounds because it softens them and prevents healing. Only soap and water. Take care

Im here. I need to get on the fb page. Is it just called september members? What name do I search for? For me surgery was 9/25 weight on surg day 216.6 and yesterday 200.6

Thanks for adding me

I'm three and a half weeks out and feel like I should be doing much better by now. Still not getting enough liquid or protein. If I eat I can only take in a couple teaspoons. If I drink a lot, even small sips, it makes be nauseous. I'm not in any pain anymore but I feel bad all the time. I have no energy and my head hurts a lot. Any ideas???

I can tell you the headaches are because you are dehydrated. Can you try to suck on crushed ice at least. And maybe warm broth.

Jess, we had surgery the same day. I am also tired and weak. I have turned to protein bars that I cut up in tiny pieces and suck/chew throughout the day for 30 grams of protein. I too only eat teaspoons of food. Eating 2 teaspoons of retried beans with melted cheese right now, putting it on a cracker for some much needed crunch. I will only eat 3 before I am full. I try not to eat the crackers but every now and then I need a treat. I hope someone has suggestions.
