Hello everyone! I wanted to go ahead and start an August surgery group. With everyone's date rolling in, I figured it was time! My surgery is August 2 and I am nervous and excited, but mostly ready to be done!!! How about everyone else?

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 had a stall at 3Weeks but now its coming off about a pound every 3days

Tuesday will be 5 weeks out for me and I'm down 30lbs since surgery. Down 49 total since liquid diet started...finally feel like I'm getting somewhere!!!

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.

Prayers kinsse!!

*hugs*.....get well soon.....
