WOW Katie!!! You have done so well! Inspirational!!!!! -
I had mine done on 8/20 and I still have pain especially on the left side. Sitting up is murder...so is laughing, coughing and sneezing. Other than that I'm ok....having pain for a few weeks is normal and everyone is different.

Are we allowed to eat strawberries or raspberries at 2 weeks out? I want to blend a few into my shake but someone told me that was a no-no. My surgeon or nutritionist never mentioned them and they are closed for the holiday....anyone been told not to for any reason?? Thanks!

Strawberries
2ndTimesTheCharm replied to 2ndTimesTheCharm's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks ladies! My friend said it wasn't about the fruit itself or the texture but more the seeds. Shes telling me that the seeds could get caught in the staple line inside my stomach or something... I dunno. It sounds a bit ridiculous but hey with this surgery a lot of things are. Anyhow, I think I will buy some and try. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?? Lol (so sick of the plain shakes!) -
Strange Question
2ndTimesTheCharm replied to TinyMamiOf3kids's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think so. Everyones body is different 2 people of the same weight and height can still have a different body type. Everyone carries their weight differently. Don't judge your body by someone else's...your goal weight should be based on how you feel when you look in the mirror as long as its healthy. -

Not Enough Protein
2ndTimesTheCharm replied to rpil003's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I believe you need protein to build muscle and you need healthy muscles to burn fat so protein should equal weightloss. Here is something that my nutritionist added in my sample packet of protein and Vitamins.... Tastes a lil gross but it's 25 grams of protein in less than 3 oz. -

I'm 5 days out and can't seem to get comfy in any position! I can lay on my back with lots of pillows but not for long. My back is killing me!!!! Did I mention I'm a tummy sleeper???

Comfy Sleep Positions?
2ndTimesTheCharm replied to 2ndTimesTheCharm's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No I don't but I was able to finally get some rest by sealing everyone's spare pillows and lining some up behind and in front of me. I felt like I was in one of those baby positioners! Lol Thanks -
I'm only a lil over a week out and I eat just a couple of spoonfuls of bryer's 4 carb icecream. It satisfied my craving and not too bad of a cheat. I don't even think it would even be cheating.
