Yeah, it seems everyone hits it the third week. I was hoping it wouldn't hit me. Wishful thinking lol. Did you guys up your Protein or Water intake to break it?

For those of you struggling with Water or like your water "fun" it's great to grab a pitcher of water an infuse it with flavors. For example fill up a pitcher half way full of water add some lemon slices, orange slices, mint leaf or lime.... Whatever you like.... Stir it with a wooden spoon and try to bruise your fruit and mint a bit, then finish filling with water and put it in the fridge for a few hours and then take the fruit and leaves out. You can infuse your water with whatever your heart desires :) it is best to drink it the same day to benefit from the enzymes.

My fav is lemon, mint, and cucumber. I will have to ask my doc if I can do this. I know lemon is allowed.

I had my staples taken out on Friday and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I started using my elliptical 30 minutes on Saturday and felt pretty good, I will just have to increase my Water intake.

Good Molly. I had my drain removed last Friday. Not going to lie I was a wreck thought it would hurt like a B--/-! But it didn't hurt at all just felt kind of creepy. Lol

I only had a drain for 2 days, how long did you have yours? It felt really weird when they pulled it out and I couldn't believe how long the tubing was.

On day 8 post op. Finally feeling better drinking. excited to start the full liquid diet. I'm still not getting in the total amount of fluids required but this will take time. Protein Water is disgusting. My pain is minimal. my concern is not losing the weight due to lack of protein intake. 60oz is a lot in the beginning while your still healing.

Hi all. Day 8. Am feeling pretty good. Will feel so much better when my hubby doesn't have to pack my wound. I weighed 214 day of surgery (march 24th). I came home on the 26th weighing 224. Tonight I weighed in at 205.

I have a barium swallow xray and blood test tomorrow (well I guess today) and then a nutrition class. I am hoping to move from clear to full liquids.

Today was a nice day here in the midwest...finally! Was good to open the house up and go for a walk outside.

How are the other March 24thers doing?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
