Since my preop appt on 1/11 I'm down 28.6.... Not I including the 7 lbs I put back on in hospital .....

DOS 1/21/2013

I'm down 28 lbs since my surgery. I went back to work one week after surgery half days and worked my first full day today. I had my first follow up dr appt yesterday and I have progressed to adding soft foods such as turkey chili, meatloaf, etc. I was even told I could try pasta. I was concerned about that when my nutritionist said I could have it. I've read all over here that pasta is a problem, but the nutritionist said its fine if I chew well and eat slowly. Guess what she was right. I ate less than an 1/8 of cup with my turkey meatballs and sauce, but it was devious especially after only having yogurt, protein shakes, and blenderized soup! I've only had a positive experience since the surgery and I'm so grateful!

Had my 4 week follow up today. Have not lost one pound in 2 weeks. I'm getting protein and liquids but apparently my body is still in starvation mode because I'm not getting in nearly enough calories. Nut wants me at 1000 a day. Says 800 minimum. I haven't hit 800 yet! I can't get any more food in! Also won't ok exercise because I'm not getting in enough calories for "daily living activity" ugh getting frustrated.

I feel like 24lbs at 3 weeks post-op (including weight lost from 2 week pre-op diet) is too slow =\

Who are you telling? I'm 3 out and down 26 from surgery including lol. I'm about to hit the gym HARD!! But then again I'm in a size 18 now! I was a 24/26 when this started

Hey everyone! 12 days since surgery- first post op appointment and those awful stitches out. I feel so much better. 15 pounds lost since admission so I will take that. I didn't gain in the hospital but I was so sick and had a horrid recovery with nausea that it doesn't surprise me. Started Step 3 diet today so actual food- one item a day but better then just liquids, jello and yogurt. I stay on step 3 diet until my next appointment in March. Have a great night

Good morning?

Is anyone else experiencing dry mouth ?

I had my GB out 1.5 years ago and just had surgery last month. I had no issues after GB surgery. So glad I did it, because the stones were killing me! (the pain...lol)
