Surgery date - 10/1/2012

Today I am actually feeling the best I've felt since before the surgery. However I am not able to drink liquid Protein shakes' date=' Jello and broth. Luckly my NP has approved for me try yogurt, cottage cheese, and split pea Soup. Yogurt and Soup is good how im still scared to try the cottage cheese. Total lost since surgery is 8 pounds. My last weigh-in was on Monday.

Hey Clairpooh, a Slim Fast strawberry or chocolate shake taste good and will give you 10 grams of Protein. I tried several different brands and this taste the best, especially when it's gold. There is no after taste either. Try it so at least you will be getting some kind of protein. If I had to rely on cottage cheese I would have to starve .

Let me know how your doing and if you get to try them.

Okay I'm wondering how come you can't have Protein shakes but you can have applesauce? Weird

So now im starting to regret having this surgery...

I hate feeling sick 24/7 :'(

All I want to do is cry.

Why are you feeling sick 24/7.... That's not normal. I will say that if I don't take my phenegren with my pain meds, I will also feel nauseated. Did they give you nausea medicine?

Surgery was yesterday. Dr said everything went just fine! Gall bladder came out since I already had stones. I'm not good with being put out so all day yesterday I did nothing but sleep. Today I've been sleeping also but have been up and down to the bathroom. Honestly' date=' I had more pain with my c-section than with this. Pain isn't bad. Hope to hear from you other 15th peeps![/quote']

Congrats and welcome to the loser's bench

Hello "Soontobehealthymom' date='" I too was so happy that the surgery was not as bad as the 4c-sections that I've had. Thank The Lord cause I was ready for the worst and ended up better.

My c-section was a breeze compared to this not to say this was horrible but that pain on the left hand side man it was hurting and I also had pain in my back. MY SURGEON ROCKS HE'S THE BEST

ANuMe, really on the C-Section being a breeze? Oh no not for me, but its nice to have both opinions here for other people to at least have something to compare the surgery to.

After my surgery the nurses could not believe how I was able to get up and walk and use the restroom, it hurt but I was nothing pain meds could not help.

Conrgats to us all on our successful surgeries! Whoo hoo! and Good luck to our october buddies that are coming up soon! It will be here before you know it! We all knew that there would be challenges along the way. We have to keep positive and remember that we did this for a healthier longer fun life! I had my surgery on Oct. 12 and I have very little pain. I do worry about the amount I am taking in. So I decided today I would drink a Protein shake for Breakfast to start off my day. I have had no feeling of restriction with Water or the 4 oz shake I drank (of course I sipped it over a period of time) I by no means come close to the amount of Protein I have read some peoples surgeons require. My surgeon does not worry about protein so much these first 2 weeks. But I don't want to loss my energy etc.. so I decided to beef up with 1 Protein Shake in the morning.

How is everyone else feeling? I have read a few people with regrets.. and I hate to hear that! Chin up! You can do this.. and there are going to be challenges along the way for each of us. Stay positive. Talk to your surgeon and see if the feelings you are having aren't something he can help you with. My surgeons big lecture every time i had seen him was.. "We are friends for life! We have to see each other forever. If there is anything that you are uncomfortable with etc you need to call, we are here to help!"

Well, I can't tolerate the Protein so I'm just doing Water and hopefully that will change today. I don't have any pain, I have so much more energy already! How are you?

My surgeon told me that I have more pain on the left because that is where the stapler went in. I don't know if tht is true for everyone but that's what he told me. I just got home today. Been walking a lot. Sipping ok but I forget so ill have to get better at that!! I'm glad everyone seems to be doing ok!
