May 24 Surgery Day

So excited and nervous! Is anyone else having surgery on my date? I would like us all in one thread to give our own experiences. It'll be great! We will all be in pain at the same time. [emoji1]

I just had my follow up and I am down 15lbs since surgery. I was cleared to go back part time to work. I must say that I am feeling pretty worn out after today's activities maybe a week of not eating is catching up to me. I am looking forward to the soft food stage in two weeks. I read someone on here are pasta and chicken two weeks after surgery and the chicken was stuck! Her scare is enough to keep me on line!

Yey!!! 15 pounds is great! Congratulations!!

Wooahhhh! Chicken & pasta?! OMG. That's insane!

Everything I put in my mouth goes through a nut milk bag first. To make sure there are no hidden chunkies that might later be a problem.

I was telling my mother that I don't know if I'll be ready to eat pureed foods when that time comes.

That is so scary.

I still have "those thoughts" about food. Even when I'm physically satisfied I still mentally want to keep eating until I have a "normal" amount. That has been my biggest struggle the past few days

So I am 1 week 4 days out and have already hit a stall. I lost 12 lbs in 9 days, and now I've been the same weight for the past 3 days. I know it'll pass, I just didn't expect it so soon. Also am having a lot of pain on my right side, but I think that's due to not have a BM for two days. I took mirolax today and pooped a little. Hoping that it gets better.

one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

Don't worry about it. If you weigh yourself too often, it will mess with your head. My doctor told me, if I can avoid it, not to weigh myself till my 2 week checkup. Everyone's weight can fluctuate a couple of pounds a day. Look at the big picture!

I don't know if you have alread tried it or not, but I put 6 oz of lite apple juice into a 32 oz bottle and filled the rest with Water. I drank that the whole day yesterday and today I had a good BM. I've been so relaxed today after that. I was shocked that it worked since I only used 6 oz. It's worth a try, no?

And I'm opposite still having 8-11 bowel movements a day, called 2day said I can take immodium a.d.

Had my first "food" for dinner, 1/4 cup of scrambled egg substitute. Never enjoyed an egg so much in my life! Seems to have set pretty well. Kind of feel like I have something stuck in my throat, but no nausea (which everything liquid with protein was doing today)!
