Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

I have no idea if I'm losing anything yet... I've been drinking water having sugar free pudding and sugar free jello, some broth and tomato soup and I have the essential breakfasts powder packets and slowly walking 30 mins a day started the walking 3 days ago... I'm 9 days post op an hopefully I'm doing this right... I have no idea what I'm doing feeling .... I'm I doing this right ?

Sounds like you're doing everything you should! I am 6 days out and trying to follow my docs orders. What are the essential breakfast packets?

I stalled in week 3 too.... but since Friday I've dropped 8 pounds... down to 197

Great job! That gives me hope!! I know it will come off. I really think my problem is that I am not eating and drinking enough. I had a couple of times of eating too much, and now I am afraid to overeat. I need to get myself to eating 6 tiny meals a day. I am also having trouble getting all of my calcium in because I can't take it all at once. I am a work in progress!!!

Had my surgery on the 24th today I am minus 3! Sticking to the plan' date=' I need to walk more.[/quote']

I am in Raleigh as well. I had my surgery at Durham Regional on June 4th. I would love to meet up with everyone at some point.

I am still on clear liquids at 4 weeks due to a stricture. And I'm only getting in between 100-150 calories a day of that some days. I'm pretty sure that's why I had a stall... I'm not even allowed protein shakes. I had my esophagus stretched again today and they couldn't even get it as big a a pen before it started bleeding. Don't think I'll be eating much for quite some time

I hope they get it fixed quickly.

I hope they get it fixed quickly.

He said it will take multiple times.... but it's okay just glad my doc listens to me .... after reading other people's forum's some doctors make them wait six weeks after getting a stricture before they do anything about it

Wow!!! Good for you!!! I'm 4 weeks and only do a mile and a half! Keep it up. I've been finding that everyday I walk I lose a little bit more. If I don't the scale stays the same.

Help! I'm 8 days post op and having a really hard time drinking my shakes. I literally gag at any flavor I have tried so many pre op and post op. I tried mixing it with pudding but that was worse. Any suggestions and whay happens if we don't get our Protein in.

Your body starts to consume its muscle for fuel if you don't get your protein. Not a good thing. Did your dr tell you to have a specific kind of shake because there are tons of different ones. I use eas advantedge carb control ready to drink. The chocolate is my favorite and it has 17gr protein in 11oz. I'm not a huge fan of the powdered kind. But I've started making Popsicles out of it and they are very yummy. And 20gr of protein.

atkins advantage and slim fast 321 20g protein is the best!

When I made Popsicles the powder all settled in bottom. Not very tasty.
