Hello!! I went to my 2 week post-op today, I am down 17.8! I'm pretty excited about that. My nutritionist said not to watch the scale too close at this point in the game a lot of it is still fluids. I have been having a hard time getting my protein and fluids in and we talked about that which was good, now being on phase 3 I can get more variety of foods in which will help with the protein intake! I go back to work tomorrow :-(. I think it will be good to get me on a schedule but I will miss being home and being able to get all my stuff done. Hope all is well, have a great week!

Congratulations! I'm glad you feel good! I'm 7 days post op and still very sore.

Thank you!! I was pretty sore and tired till day 8 and then I started to become human again. I actually went to the store and drove lol. So it will get better just take your time healing.

I'm also two weeks out and went back to work yesterday. I've done pretty well except that I still get pain in my pouch when I drink anything above room temperature (even room temp Water makes it hurt). My doc said that it would start to go away soon, and I sure hope it does, because it's slowing down my liquid intake. I'm not getting quite enough liquid most days. I'm excited, though, that I can get back to my water aerobics class tonight! Looking forward to it. Good luck, everyone, with this incredible journey!

I am 11 day post-op, I'm still a little sore and having gas pains I'm taking Gas-X per my surgeon and it works, I becamed constipated yesterday and I took 2 tbsps of MOM. with water it taking a long time to work. But other than that I am doing fine, Still changing bandgages from my J-P drain that was removed last Wed. the fluids are very little pink. My Surgeon told me it could be another week before it closes completely and stop draining. I have a total weight loss of 8lbs.

I'm two weeks out also! The time has gone by pretty quickly. I don't see my dr. until this Friday though. The thing I am struggling with most right now is energy. Like, none. I know it will come back, but I'm ready to feel energized again! Glad those on here seem to be doing well.

The energy will take a while. I thought I was dying the first week I felt like I was 90! I have to take a nap after using he bathroom I was that tired, but it does get better. I went back to work 2 weeks after and I was dragging but the next week was a little better. I am 5 weeks out today and I feel pretty good! So it will happen!!

This is my 13th day and I'm still very sore with low energy, It's takes alot of effort to get the protein shakes in so much in such a small space.

I'm day 12 post op. I am still very sore and bruised. My incision where the drain was is still leaking a bit. But I just read that someones surgeon said it could be another week before that stops. I am seeing my surgeon tomorrow. It is a relief because I'm still really swollen and I don't like that the incision started draining after a week of seeming closed. Oh well. I've lost 20 lbs between the pre-op liquid diet and the almost 2 week post op liquid diet. I'm ready to eat real food but a little nervous about where to start. I certainly don't feel ready to go back to work yet. I've got another week off thank heavens!
