a week ago today? I was on clear fluids only a week after my surgery, which included Jello, but yougurt and Soup no way...i was at least 4 week post op before even thinking about those things...did your dr go over an eating plan with you for post op?

i sucked the juice of a pepperoni off my son's pizza 3 weeks out...I just needed to taste something different...it's not something Im proud of but it's something Im looking at more clearly so it doesnt come up again and derail my dream of loosing this weight we are all human...

I had my surgery on Dec 21...i am having the same burping experience as you, i can't even drink Water without burping for what seems like hours...Im having a hard time getting enough Fluid in I know and I too am feeling exhasted most of the time with back pain and headaches...however I just had major surgery about 3 weeks ago and I know that it will get better with time...maybe you should add vit D to your diet I have been taking the Vid D and B12 for about 4 months befor surgery and it helped with my energy levels...hang in there, i will too...

i hated all the shakes but i finally found an unflavored 100% whey Protein -brand JARROW at my healthfood store...1 scoop is 18 grams of protine mixed with 1/2 cup greek yogurt 12.5 grams of protien, splash or two of non fat milk, 1/2 a bannana and a couple of splashes of the Torani sugar free vanilla flavoring syrup...omg it's so good and its about 31 grams of protine which is the same as the premixed drinks i was having before surgery...I bought some other frozen fruit to try with it too...

I just had my 3 week post op and they said Im doing fine and all the feelings im having a normal...i know it's hard but nobody said it would be easy and I just know i'll get through this and be happy on the other side.

I have only lost about 16lbs since surgery but hay, I couldn't loose 16 lbs to save my life before surgery so I know i made the right choice.
