Very discouraged I only lost 5lb in 12 days. I guess its where I can't exercise yet. Still having severe pain in behind my right side incision. :(

I'm a little discouraged too. My surgery was 8/26/13 and I gained 10 lbs in the hospital ( fluids) I guess. I've only lost 5 lbs. I am getting about 70 g of Protein in a day and drinking about 60 oz, walking 2-3 times a day.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Don't get discouraged! I lost 9 lbs after surgery In 4 days, then nothing. I was so upset but since last Friday I've lost 6 lbs. My surgery was 8.14. I was talking to some people that said it would come in spurts. One person lost 25 lbs in one month and had been losing it slowly since. It will be long process. We can do it!

I've been told by many to up my calories so your body comes out of starvation mode...so I've gotten the calories up by doing small meals and snacks..doing about 1000 a day

Well im back in the hospital. The pain in abdomen got so severe that I came to the hosp. N they admitted me. They did a CT n it showed abcesses and pockets of Fluid. Plus a UTI.

But this morning after every one prayed. The surgeon said he couldn't find the abcess now. N thinks Mayberry my incision got irritated wen I started moving around. That's all he could think of. So they are running gallbladder test now. N maybe if its good I will go home Tomoro.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
