Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

Today is a new day of bloated gassy feeling and it stinks ugh when will this go away :-(... I still get dizzy walking to much idk if anyone else does but I'm not dehydrated at all any thoughts?

I was really dizzy at the beginning of the week. I know you just got out of surgery but its from lack of Protein. I thought I was doing great getting 40grams in a week after surgery but the doctor yesterday told me to try and up it because that's what was making me so dizzy.

I only drink 2 protein shake idk how to stomach more this is so hard I gotta figure another way thanks for the input glad I am not the only one

My surgery date is also June 11. Left the hospital yesterday on full liquids but nothing seems very appetizing. Drank part of a Protein shake , felt really heavy. I will try again today. Water is settling well. Crystal Light is too sweet to have more than a few sips of. I am looking forward to a shower today. I had to hold off due to the central line they had to run because they couldn't get a good IV

surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5

Surgery was 6/5. Down about 10lbs. Liquids for 2 more weeks. Still have lots of pain in top right incision. Otherwise I'm doing ok. Just have to remind myself to drink my drinks slower!

I had a central line as well, ugh my neck look like I been in a fight with a cat, it's a lil swollen.

5th day out! Feeling better by the day! drain tube out Wednesday! Whoo hoo !

Surgery 6/3. Yesterday I felt great. Today I'm dizzy, bloated, and gassy again. Going to rest. I'll try to up my water and protein but its so hard--I have no desire to consume anything. Overall I'm doing well though, the worst is behind me. I'm going back to work on Tuesday.

Had surgery on June 12th . feeling great all systems functioning normally.

had some bloating and gas on friday but that passed in the morning ( no pun intended) . i have been walking my ass off since 6 hours after surgery an i have to say it has helped move things along.

still have some minimal pain. but that seems to be lessing by the hour.

Dr. Ing my surgeon has the touch. i have had dental work that has hurt more.

I will follow the program and see him in two weeks. i feel like i could run a mile right now.

hope each of the june people recover quickly. its a big world just waiting for us !

Surgery was June 12. I'm on pureed already. The gave it to me in the hospital and said that if I kept it down I could go home. So far today I have had 8oz protein shake mixed with unflavored Unjury, 2 oz greek yogurt mixed with Unjury ,one sugar free Popsicle and about 15 oz of water. So far so good.

J-la,

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!.....So happy for you, I had two shakes left over from the pre-op diet. those two sugar free popicles and 30 oz of Water over the coarse of today. things are moving in the right direction.

Pain level is only about a 3. Haven't had to take pain meds since I got home. Getting around would be easier if I had some kind of support girdle. I have to hold my stomach when I walk so it doesn't hurt. I still have some gas, but not bad. Glad to hear you are getting some fluids in also. Are you getting around ok?

J-la,

no real mobility problems. a little slow getting in and out of a chair but if i do it slowly its ok. ok on all other fronts. walking has been a huge help on getting relief to th soreness issue. Dr & staff believe i have a very high pain threshold.

in fact just lying on my stomach on the couch sending this to you ...all is ok

no leakage at the incisions. also using that spiormeter plastic guage doo hickey tjay gave me is helpong with the tenderness issue and improving ability to take very deep breaths, coughing ( when necessary)

I also had mine on june 5th... I'm down 23 lbs.. still on the clear liquid diet till this wednesday then i think my dr upgrades me to pureed cream of soups... cant wait till week 3 so i can have milk in my protein shake instead of water...

I ate a scrambled egg today. It was nice to have something to chew on and fill me up
