Does it still hurt anyone to take deep breaths? Like not your stomach area but lungs? I'm terrible at remembering to use the breathing machine they gave. Should I be worried??

Not at all. It took about a week to really feel like myself again. Please don't worry!

I forget to use it too. I dont have pain, but I can tell I should be using it. I cough when I breathe deep. Use it when you remember. Have you had your post op appt yet? If not, mention it to dr for peace of mind.

Has anyone else been to their post-op appt.? How is everyone doing? Any good weight loss numbers yet or good progress? I do not have my appt. until Monday and do not want to step on a scale until then. I hope it is good news!

I had mine yesterday, I've lost 8 lbs since surgery and have lost over 20 lbs in general. Still on liquids and can start purée next week.

Lol yup.. but I'm sipping a Protein drink... chocolate Protein powder with a tablespoon of ovaltine mixed with almond coconut milk.. taste just like a mounds bar. I wish I can have all the horrible food, but all this is prepping me for my healthier life. And I'm super emotional.. I don't know why but hey, it feels nice to cry at stupid things lol

You know, I don't get it...why torture a person before surgery like that? My medical folks required the ten percent weight loss and fasting after midnight prior to my surgery which I know is routine. I'm ten days post op and feel really well but really weak. There must be some reasonable explanation, but Kaiser in CA doesn't require this diet. I think it's dangerous to send people hither and yon in a weakened state. According to Dr. tanktalken, (that would be me) this is a mean, poop eating unnecessary process to put patients through! So come on folks, tell me why they do this? And thanks sweetie for the almond/coconut suggestion for chocolate Protein powder! I love me some mounds bars! Nancy K.

My Dr. Required the liquid pre-op diet to shrink the liver. This allows better access to your stomach during the surgery. He requires 2 week liquid after surgery because your stomach is swollen from surgery and going back to eating right away could cause a staple line leak because the solid foods put to much pressure on your tiny stomach.

Back to the Dr. For my one week appt. today and I'm down 27.6 lbs. since pre-op diet (3 weeks total). They said that I'm ahead of the curve. I start puréed next Tuesday and looking forward to getting some energy back.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
