Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

Well it is official!!!!!! After gaining a little, I finally went back down and I am in the 240's now (Yes I wasn't suppose to weigh myself until tomorrow, but I couldn't stop myself). Next goal.....the 230's!

I kinda feel the same. I'm doing fine with getting anything down, but my doc said try to wean off of shakes and use food for my protein... Can't get to the level with out the shakes so well see. I did by some unflavored soy protein so maybe it'll help. Any way... According to my docs plan I made a daily schedule. Thought I'd share in case anyone else could use. Btw my doc says no food 30 min before/ hour to hour and a half after (I did an hour or I'd never get my aqua in) and at least 32 ounces of water a day. This plan gets me like 48 oz so if I fall short, no biggie

Wow, taking you off shakes already? I wasn't to even start them until my second week!

Teresa

why not make them into a real shake, they have blue bell no sugar ice cream,

when i get up to the store I may try this

scoop of the ice cream

tablespoon of sugar free chocolate syrup

scoop of protein mix

cup of milk or water of your choice, I use fat free lactaid

what do you think?

Only 32oz? That seems much more doable.

Yes he did mine and Jodi's surgery. Where are you from?

Bentonville. Had RYN done at Mercy. Actually it was a revision from a sleeve he did back in 2010.

I thought ppl thought the sleeve was a better route to go and not as restricted as the RNY . Hope it is better for you. I am not doing the journal. The nurses gave me copies of a piece paper they fixed for me. And i am supposed to document the ounces i drink but i just cant focus on it and keep up. I know i am to have 60 grams of protein a day. So 1 scoop of my unjury is 21 grams of protein i pour my milk in my shaker cup up to 16 ounces or water. And put 2 scoops of protein in it and it takes me about 3 hours to drink it. I also drink a bottle 16 oz of water in between the shake. Then at night i will have the other scoop in water or milk and that gives me 63 grams of protein. And it gives me about 48 ounces of water fluid. I do have a popsicle a day and SF jello. I think i am doing ok with this. Its very slow going. Just want my strengh back

Going to the doctor tomorrow! Anyone have any questions they want me to ask?

I use a Lose it app and it is also available online.

Gina Surgery date Dec. 10th

Gina i use the Lose it App too. Is there a way we can be partners on there? I see a motivate tab but havent used the app much.

My surgery date was 12/28/12. I've had horrible nausea, issues with textures. And then it hit...the stomach flu :-( I really thought it was over! The pain was so bad, nothing I could do but vomit. I'm doing a bit better now. I haven't vomited in 2 days but not real up for anything. Trying to make sure I get enough water but its hard. Still have pain from the flu.

Sorry about the flu :-( that yucky stuff is definitely going around.

Gen, your face looks thinner than the last pic!!!

Thanks. I've lost 21 since surgery. Hopefully I can keep going down :-) I'm a slow loser, BUT I'm losing that's what matters.

I lost only 6 lbs :-( during my 10 day liquid diet before. I think my body definitely went into starvation mode. I think I average 1lb loss in 2 days. I guess I'm happy with it. I get the protein in everyday (84g today). Trying to finish up the water. The water has been slow going lately.
