You look amazing!!

3 1/2 weeks post op and now has had red eyes for past 2 days, no pain or itch just red......

Thank you ladies I read dehydration can also cause your eyes to dry up and get red, we are using eye drops as needed and it seems to be working. He is getting in like 3 16oz water bottles a day, but still might be a little dehydrated......

My husband saw his doctor today 3weeks post op (july 18th) and looks like he is doing excellent, his starting weight was 441lbs, after pre op diet n day of surgery he was at 411lbs today the scale smiled at 380lbs YAY!!!! Keep up the great work everybody

thank you for you comment suzjag seem like he's doing ok at work. The put him on light dutie so he isnt doing anything heavy or difficult. He isnt scheduled to see his doctor until 8/7, so we plan on moving up to puree n mushy food by tomorrow. Which will include cream of wheat n 4 min eggs hope everybody is staying positive.......have a great day!!

Hi my husband was sleeved on July 18 and is 23lbs down today is back to work n still on his clear/full liquid diet.

Hang in there my husband was sleeved 15 days ago n he is doing great. the only pain he still feels is the left incision, but nothing major. He returns to work today. One of his biggest accomplishments is that he walks alot now. The walking has done wonders for the pains......have a great day:)

Best wishes!!!!

Hi my husband is 14 days post op and seems to be doing great he takes premium protein shake in the morning, protein fruit smoothie or muscle milk mid day, and home made soups with chicken veggies blended into soup n strained for dinner. Seems like he is taking in a decent amount of protein daily. keep up the good work everybody

Congrats shelly, my husband is 12 days post op and feeling great, he too has that pulling feeling in his left incision and it only feels better when he wears the band around his stomach that was given to him at hospital, because it puts preasure on it. hopefully once that pain goes away he will be 100%...... Keep up the good work

My husband is 1week 2 days post op and he is taking in about 500 calories a day. He is getting in as much protein as he can in his food, protein shakes and protein smoothies. Does this sound like he's on the right path???

Oops *snack ^

My husband is 1week 1day post op and during his 18 day pre op diet he lost 30 lbs, his diet was.... 1 cup coffee in the morning, followed by 3 poached eggs (boiled 4 min), lunch he had 1 premium protein shakes (Costco), snake carb well yogurt (ralphs), dinner beef broth, plus water, water and more water!!!

Hi everybody (^;^) my husband is 1 week post op today, and down 15 lbs in 1 week and 30 pre op. He has a giant smile on his face this morning to see he is under the 400 mark, now a 398lbs and dropping!! he is now having a protein shake for breakfast (about 1 hr), yogurt for lunch (30-45 min), homemade broths for dinner (1hr) and water, water, water all day!! Have a great day!!!

Thanx clk for your kind words n I took your advise n commented on his post

Dont get discouraged, you are showing a strong will to get the job done...... My husband started at 441lbs during his 18 day pre op diet he dropped 30 lbs leaving him at 411 at day of surgery, and today is 1week 1 day post op and he has dropped 15 lbs he is very happy. he is feeling great, and excited about his new life! im not going to sugar coat it, it is scary and risky. the first day post op is rough, but if you stick to the plan and put your heart into it you will soon be enjoying your new life too.... Good luck and stay strong

^ im glad to read u spoke with ur hudband, hopefully u continue this open communication because you will definitely need his support post op...... Keep ur spirits up (^;^) have a grest day!!

My husband is 6 days post op and just noticed his togue is white...... Does anybody else have this prob?

Thank you all for your reply, he does not have a sore throat or any other symptoms. Btw his urine is really dark also......

Its my husbands first day home and 3rd day post op he is very happy to be home, but I have noticed its a little harder to keep him drinking fluids at home. I have enlisted the help of our kids, every time they walk by dad they ask him if he has drank something. It seems to be helping we went for a slow walk around our neighborhood park and he did great, the more he walks the easier it is to pass his gas, which means less belly pain. He is having sugar free jello 2oz every 15 min and will have some pain yogurt later today. He is trying to sleep but in a house with 3 kids, its a little hard. Hopefully this means he will sleep through the night. good luck to all the post ops and the future ops, your future is in your hands

If you're looking for a good protein shake, try Costco Premium ready to go shake you can get vanilla or chocolate they taste very good. my husband had the surgery 3 days ago, he did the pre op diet for 18 days and lost 30 lbs. if you dont like the store bought broth, make it at home. I make beef broth by boiling a pc of bone chuck steak bone in, add tomato and onion, salt n pepper n after meat is cooked add cilantro. Trust me its yummy try sf jello, low carb yogurts. This is the same diet he is doing now post op. He isnt hungry but he takes it for the protein he needs. I am trying to invent a new menu for my husband, I will do what ever I can to help him succeed in our new life!!! Good luck
