How Many Calories Are You Eating?
shelbyshumyers replied to TamaraS's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My nutritionist told me not to focus on calories at all just to make sure I get 90-100gm of protein each day and 64oz water daily! I stopped losing about a week and a half post op and my scale even said I had gained weight (which is physically impossible) but this week I started soft foods and my calorie intake went up a little bit and I started losing again! -

Well maybe that is to be expected! I had it checked again on Wednesday and my surgeon said it will scab up and fall off! I guess we just have to keep a close eye in it! -

Need quick advise
shelbyshumyers replied to Losing weight's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I felt the same way the first week and a half after surgery! When I asked my surgeon about it he said that it was my body's way of trying to adjust to everything! I am 17days out and I am feeling fine now! I also make sure I don't wait to long to eat/drink something when I get up in the morning and stay hydrated! -

I actually called and spoke with the nurse yesterday and she told me that I needed to remove the scab so that it will continue to heal properly! I removed some skin around it but the actual scab is about the size of a nickel and its not budging (and I would rather let it fall off its self)! I am just watching it closely right now! -

A little but right now I am also having issues with REALLY dry skin so my whole body itches and has an awful red rash!! -

shelbyshumyers replied to jennaleigh1992's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 2 1/2 weeks post op and My largest incision (the one they removed my stomach from) is all scabbed up and is starting to get redness around it but not really warm to touch! Did you have this problem with that incision... I am just curious to know someone else's healing process... The edema ins glue came off a few days ago and that is when the redness started??? -
