Hello everyone. I am 9 days post op. I am down 23 pounds and I feel great. My surgery was April 23rd. I must say it wasn't bad at all. I was very sore the first two days but nothing major. I'm tolerating my diet very well. I haven't been sick at all and everything goes down smoothly. I didn't even have gas. Maybe because after recovery and then I went to my room with in n hour I was walking. Also they gave me nexium in my iv. I even started walking about a half hour everyday. At first it was hard because I kept getting tired now out of nowhere I have a bunch of energy. I had my first pre op doctors visit on monday and the doctor said I was doing great. My only problem is how your taste buds change. Before the surgery I liked the shakes. Now I'm having trouble getting them down. I even have isopure unflaved powder and I don't like that either. I tried it in tomato soup, cream of chicken soup and cream of wheat. I didn't like it in anything. I go back to the doctors on Tuesday, maybe he will upgrade my diet so I can actually get more protein from a meal. Like tuna, egg whites, eggbeaters etc. any suggestions on getting my protein in? Otherwise I'm doing great.

I believe it's called biotin. I haven't started that yet. Maybe next week. They gave me a list of what I will be taking eventually. Biotin B-12 Calcium Vitamin d Multi vitamin

Your probably real sore. I used a ice pack sometimes. If that didn't help I would take Tylenol.after like two days I wasn't in much pain anyway. Good luck!

First weigh in. Starting weight 297 Day of surgery April 23rd 283 Today 270.

Congrats to everyone on the weight loss.

I ordered some of the nectars today. I hope I like them.

This iis my third day on my pre op diet. I'm really struggling. I don't ever seem to get full. Today I had two protein shakes, a cup of cooked green beans, a cup of cooked asparagus, a mixed green salad with oil and vinegar, a cup of petite raw carrots and two bottles of water. I haven't cheated yet but it is very tempting. I'm allowed all sugar free beverages, protein shakes, broth and vegetables. I think I'm just used to snacking and it's in my head. Any suggestions.

This is my first Friday weigh in. Starting weight 297 Surgery date was april 23rd. Today's weight 270.

Glad everything went well. Good luck.

I was going to say the same thing. Walk even if your dragging your feet. You might feel better laying down but the gas will just sit there. If your up and about eventually it will come out. Good luck.

Everything is great. I feel really good. Out of no where I have a lot of energy. Which is good. I've started walking every other day something I haven't done in years. I'm motivated.

Welcome, when is you surgery? If you have questions this is the place to find the answers. Good luck.

Get out of bed and start walking. Even if it's not that far. It really works. I didn't have any gas or chest pains.

Don't give up you can do it. It probably to prevent complications. So hang in there.

My surgery was april 23rd. Mines went well. I'm doing great I haven't had any problems. Thank god. I'm also down 23 pounds.

Good Luke to you guys on your surgery tomorrow. I will keep you in prayer.

Glad you doing ok. You should try and walk more. It really helps. Good luck with your rest in the morning.

So sorry to hear you were treated so badly. Where is the compassion at. I would go and file that complaint. Glad your hoe recovering.

Congratulations. That's great.

Good luck on your new journey. I had my surgery on April 23rd. I didn't go to intensive care. I think every situation is different.

I'm glad your home. Sometimes once your stable, home is the best place to be. I pray for a speedy recovery.

That's great. I had my surgery on April 23rd. I'm doing well. Good luck to you.

I'm feeling good. So far no problems. I'm tolerating the liquids but I am so sick of them. I have an appointment on Monday I think the doctor will put me on the next phase of the diet.
