1. Exercise is key 2. Always remember that you were awesome before surgery- sometimes I let others make me feel like I'm awesome now but must have been pretty gross before...just understand you are still you- just in a smaller package 3. Watch out for the carb creep...I can tolerate way more carbs now than I could right out of surgery and I have to be careful -

My goal was to lose 85 and I am down 64...So I guess I am about 3/4 of the way there...but it has really slowed down. -

I have been warned that taking the 4 tsp of children's Tylenol can make you dump due to the sugar content -
Glad you talked to your nutritionist. If she said notion worry, then I wouldn't worry:). Put the scale away and just focus in her guidance...I had gained 8 pounds the day I got home from the hospital from all the fluids and about had a heart attack...if you lost 17 that first week then you did awesome.

My total meal is 1/4 cup until 3 months out

The surgery is just a tool...you have to make the choices...I am two weeks out and I can not have meatloaf until week 6...I am also limited to 1/4 cup of food...High protein and low sugar/carb. Your meal looks a bit large- maybe try cutting down your portions and eat more protein and less carbs.

The day after!

The left side is where most of your pain will be...it is where they do most of the "work"....my surgeon told me beforehand to expect it. A heating pad helped me...and of course pain meds:) -

I'm feeling pretty good...a little sore, but it's manageable with pain meds...I have 7 incisions because I also had my hernia repaired. I've been documenting my journey on YouTube. RNYKrista -

My anesthesiologist put a patch behind my ear that prevented nausea. I also was sen home with anti nausea medicine ...maybe your surgeon can call something in. I hope you feel better soon:) -

My surgeon said to expect to lose 60- 80%. I had surgery on Wednesday and my BMI is between 39 and 40. -
Not all surgeons make you keep the drain in. I did not have a drain. The morphine pump definitely helped with the pain and they sent me home with hydrocodone. When I first woke up I was in a lot of pain they had not given me my morphine pump yet so I asked for a heating pad and that helped a lot.

Just got home a few hours ago. MFP is krista1020. I have not had gas or a bm yet. Back and abdominal pain is controlled with hydrocodone. I Also got itchy- maybe from the morphine. I am on liquid optisource for 2 weeks. -
