I loss 30% of excess body weight. I'm down 31 pounds!

My surgeon requires everyone go on a PPI immediately after surgery for at least 90 days. Maybe that could help.

Congrats, I hope when I go to my 1st post-op Appointment with my surgeon on Wednesday he tells me that I have some weight loss. My scale decided to die on day 2 of post-op. So I haven't got a clue how much I weigh

Five days postop up till today I was really scared I was gonna end up back in the hospital due to no matter what it was everything taste so horrible nasty nasty nasty I could not even put to my mouth but today is so much better and things ar tasting normal the only thing I did find like a said was the coffee a few days ago that saved me from getting too dehydrated but now everything is good!!!!

Can I ask how many calories you eat or how much you weighed at surgery? Makes me feel like I'm the tortoise and you're the hare.

I have not really been counting calories. I can only take in about 2 teaspoons of whatever I eat. I am at a stall because I am not getting in enough calories.

I'm 3 days post op, and not really counting calories, just mainly trying to get in my fluids. I am concerned because my shakes go right through me. I am mostly drinking water, tea, popcicles, and jello right now. I try to sip the shakes a little at a time. Also taking my vitamins.

Yea I had the same problem for a few days post op, just hang in there and give it a few more days. With the small amount of calories that you consume in your protein shakes there really isn't any need to count calories. I know that I could not "eat" more than 600 calories for several weeks post op because my pouch was so small and I really had to force myself to drink a shake at times. The shakes that my Dr. sells are about 200 calories apiece and make 22oz it would take me about an hour to finish 8 and at that point I was done! I would drink about two of those and maybe eat a container of 100 calorie greek yogurt and I was pretty much done for the day.

I did protein water when I first came home.
