From what I have learned, you have to get your protien any way you can. The shakes taste yucky, but bite the bullet. Thats what Im doing. Are you taking biotin? Best of luck!

Hi all! Im starting week 3 and my doctor has me eating 2 oz., 3 times a day and 2 oz. of protien shake, 2 times a day. My question is, will I be able to have more that 2 oz. after week 4?

Awesome job! You are such a pretty girl!

Im mostly concerned about getting enough protien AND water with such a small amount of food. I dont feel hungry, but staying healthy is as much of a priority as losing weight.

Pain when I lay down/get up from bed
LG1981 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey guys. Im 11 days post-op amd when I lay myself down for bed or get up from bed it feels like all the insides in my stomach are shifting and it hurts. Anyone else feeling this? When does it go away? -

Pain after surgery
LG1981 replied to marielalovesherfamily03's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You should ask your doctor if he is going to leave a drain in. For me that was the worst part of post-op. I am 13 days out. -
This makes me not want to have kids...

what skin lotion that is reasonable price and easy to apply
LG1981 replied to lilac lass's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Great question. I was wondering that myself. A fellow sleever suggested Palmer's Firming Butter. Its specifically for weightloss and for women who have just had kids. Up to now that is all I have, but would love more insight! -
What should I expect?

Mine went in an out while I was knocked out. That was an expirience I could totally do without.

Hi guys. Im 9 days post op. I still have a weird numb feeling on my belly. I hate the way it feels whe fabric touches it. I know its the anesthesia, but how long does it take for this feeling to go away?

Hi. Im 9 days post op and I have been bleeding from one suture on the lower right side of my belly. Not a lot of blood, just drops but its still pretty annoying. Is that the same suture you are having issues with?

I will tell you something... You did not miss out! The drain is a tube they leave inside of you to drain liquid out from your abdominal cavity (kind of like a colostomy bag). Its super uncomfortable, even more so than the incisions. Some doctors put a drain in, others dont. I guess its a matter of their personal preference.

Its been a week since my surgery. Today they took the drain out (finally!) and I lost 12 lbs! Doctor says Im doing great with the healing process.
