Sounds like you are doing great!!! What do you eat for soft foods?? Are you still drinking protein? Sorry feel like 50 questions but, I am having a rough time with food. Feel uncertain all the time about it.

Great weight loss!!!! I will have to try the Shakology. I am about to gag on what I am drinking now. Why Almond milk? Thanks for your reply.. Keep it up.

Tryan, what was/is your weight?

Idk. 1 week before surgery my scale broke. We were in the middle of a 350 mile move. After surgery my husband could not grasp the importants of a scale!!! And i could not drive. He waited a week ( after surgey to get me one) when I stepped on the scale I was I think 203. ??

My weight was 238 2 weeks prior to surgey. I was put on a liquid diet for two weeks prior to surgey. I am now 192. I just want to know how your are feeling physically. Pain, nausea, ect. Activity levels.. What are you eating how often and how much....

Congrats. U look great!!!

How Many weeks out are you? I would even try taking one bite and wait about 5 min. My first "soft" foods was nearly the first time I vomited and ate less than 3 oz. good luck!!!

Oh what a feeling!!!! Congrats!!!

Weight before surgery : 238( at start of liquid diet on aug1st) Surgery Date: 08/14/12 Weight today:192 Goal weight for October 31st: 175 We can do this!!!:).

Have been doing great 9 days out and I just started having horrible pain in my left shoulder. I have a heating pad on it now. ????

If is gone!!

Shoulder pain. On top of shoulder. 7 days sleeved. How long does gas pain last ?

Took drain out Friday.

How did you know it wasn't a leak?

Is yours any better Cynthia ? How long has it lasted? Did it go away with walking? I had back paint for about 4 days after my surgey that felt about the same as this and it went away?

Are you having any problems with shoulder pains?

Please help.

Shoulder pain up into neck and down arm. How can I tell the difference between gas or a leak?

How can I determine between gas and a leak?

It is hurting on the top and goes away with my pain meds. It is hurting kinda up in my neck under my ear. Is this normal.

How much have you lost? How are you doing?

Amazing!!!.

Amazing!!!!!

I am 5 days post op and the pain is still horrible!!! I am drinking, walking, taking pain meds on time, I am taking gas x strips and stuff to go to the bathroom. Last night had a pain In between two of my incisions on my left side. It felt like I was being stabbed with a hot poker !!! My skin is tender to touch when it happens. If I put any suction back into my drain tube(on the right side)at all it starts spasming and will literally contract. The pain Ned's I have in liquid Vicodin every 4 hours and it diesn't seem to last more than three hours. I am using a heating pad!! Scared I have a leak or something. Talk to my dr. She said to start using ibuprofen. It is not helping. Has anyone else had this problem??

Thanks:)!
