I will be 3 weeks post op tomorrow and I'm still tired. It has gotten better, but I have to take frequent breaks because I'm exhausted. Everyone is different so you may bounce back sooner.

Here's is the nutritional info from Premier Nutritions website the Cookies have Soy Protein Isolate:

Be happy that you can burp. Mine comes up to my chest swells until its painful, says SIKE and goes away. I glare at anyone that burps. I WANT TO BURP SO BAD. Ahhh... The little things.

Here's the recipe: These were really just eyeballed measurements. So you might want to tweak it to your preference. 1 egg 16 oz can crab meat 3 tbsp light mayo 2 tbsp either old bay (by far the best!) or phillips seasoning 1-2 tbsp parsley depending on your preference two twists each of salt and pepper or to taste 1-2 tbsp lemon juice Optional 1 tsp dry mustard Combine all ingredients. If in puree phase this can be mixed in the food processor which means you can save money by buying the backfin or claw meat. There is no point pureeing lump! Use ice cream scoop to make 1/4 cup servings. I like to sprinkle old bay on top. Will make 8 servings. Broil about 8 minutes or until done. I made them in foil muffin cups so they can be individually frozen and pulled out for quick work lunches. Great with a little yellow mustard on the side!

I waited 12 days for sex but I could have done it sooner. I gave head and swallowed on like day 9 with no problem or complaints. I'm a loser!!! DOS: 7/18/12 HW: 273 DOS: 260 CW: 241

Very helpful...thanks I'm a loser!!! DOS: 7/18/12 HW: 273 DOS: 260 CW: 241

You are awesome....Thanks

I heard you have a crab cake recipe and I've searched all over and can't find it, can you post it???? Thanks a million!

I went to the doctor today and was told to make sure I'm getting my fluids and Proteins in, to prevent the light headed feeling. I'm a loser!!! DOS: 7/18/12 HW: 273 DOS: 260 CW: 241

Same here...I'm 2 weeks post op tomorrow and I'm feeling like a circus freak. What did help today was a trip to TJ Maxx to look at clothes. Before the surgery I was buying 2X shirts, today I put on a MEDIUM and it fit. That was my first NSV (non scale victory). We have to remember why we started this journey and how miserable we were before the surgery. I KNOW that I don't want to feel like that again. We are strong women who WILL make it thru this together. I'm a loser!!! DOS: 7/18/12 HW: 273 DOS: 260 CW: 241

I am in the post op stage now....14 days post op. I found this video while I was doing my pre-op research. Most sites have an animated video or just pictures of what the RNY surgery will be like. In my opinion that's fine, but I'm more visual. So I found this movie on Google. It is the ACTUAL surgery being performed (63 minutes). I hope it is informative to all and doesn't gross anyone out. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8636464984047127563 If the link doesn't work, you can Google..."laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery video."

I posted this in the pre-op section as well, but I thought some post-op people may want the know what REALLY went on the day of surgery. I found this video while I was doing my pre-op research.

I guess I'm the only one from the south...good ol Louisiana. I'm a loser!!! DOS: 7/18/12 HW: 273 DOS: 260 CW: 241

I'm not sure what your surgeon would say, but I can't have fruits until 4 weeks out. I can have mushy bananas at three weeks. My DOS was 7/18/12 I'm a loser!!! DOS: 7/18/12 HW: 273 DOS: 260 CW: 241

Yes, I must have brown sugar in my oatmeal so I set out to find a faux brown sugar. It's right by the regular Splenda. I'm a loser!!! DOS: 7/18/12 HW: 273 DOS: 260 CW: 241

Splenda make a brown sugar version too. I'm a loser!!! DOS: 7/18/12 HW: 273 DOS: 260 CW: 241
