19 days since my Plication

I am still in pain. Did any if you go thru this? I went back to work on Monday..and sitting is horrible. I think I am scrunched in the chair... so when I get home I have to lay straight flat with an ice pack on my tummy.. for a while. I still cant reach or bend down. I honestly didn't know recovery would be like this ..oh am eating I am not even sure if I am doing to less too much..

This week I would have

Yogurt (breakfast)

Protein Shake (lunch)

& I will may boil 2 soft eggs (dinner) or a can of cream soup

I will drink water all day.. I can get maybe 2 bottles a day down.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IF I AM ON TRACK... IS WHAT I AM DOING NORMAL. ..TOO MUCH ...TOO LESS. I feel lost... and honestly getting depressed. ..thanks ..TC

Sounds like you are right on track to me... You can still have ad Jello, pudding, or Popsicles if you want. I wouldn't say I had pain 19 days out but def uncomfortableness.... At about 4 wls out I started to feel half normal and at about 6 wks out I started to get more energy back and the depression began to go away when I had more energy. Rest as much as you can! It will help!

There def will be frustrating times but I can assure you it's not fat you're gaining. Your body is in starvation mode and you are prob retaining Water. The body will do what it needs to to heal itself. Once it heals and no longer feels starved the weight will start to drop off! Two months from now you will

Look back and see that this is the beginning stages! And all the beginning fiasco will be over!

Good job! That's about where I was then too! I think you'll feel way better in about two weeks!
