Still in hospital. Doc won't release me till pain is manageable by just tylenol. Got up last night and felt. Better. Still some gas pain but not nearly as much. Hoping to go home today so I can have something besides water! Hah

One week out today!!! Doing great! Still small amounts of discomfort but nothing bad and mostly at night laying on my side!! Tried my jeans on today and they are so loose!!! But that's good cause my cuts are still tender!! Been living in my comfy pants with the draw string! Haha

Glad everything is going well thus far for you. Keep posting your progress it's very helpful to me. Thanks !

7 weeks from when I left the hospital... 36 lbs down.... 56 all together!! Confused about how many calories I should be shooting for?? Using my fitness pal. Have 600 but everyone keeps telling me that's too low?? Anyone??

Ive been averaging 600-650. I am only 6 weeks out. I concentrate on protein. I lose more if i get plenty. Congrats on the loss.

I am 10 weeks out and I still only eat between 600-800 calories a day. Most days I'm on the lower side. I am focusing on getting in my protein and water. Most of my protein is from shakes because I get full too quickly when eating dense protein like chicken or fish. I think the best person to ask is your doctor or NUT. Good luck to you.

Thanks! Gonna call and see if I can go in and talk to my NUT. : )
