Thanks for the Birthday wishes!!! Y'all are so sweet! I found out today that I've lost 49lbs since June 5th. It's exciting, but I know it was only because I had complications that it is that much that quick. I elected to have another EGD and possible dilation next Tuesday. I prefer to prevent the problem rather than treat it! Looking forward to this time next year.

Whelp, I am 10 1/2 weeks out. Had a kidney stone on the right, then had a stricture and was hospitalized for 4 days for dehydration/ malnutrition, during which they did the EGD and dilation, then got a kidney stone on the left! Hasn't been an easy run for me but I have a F/U with my new surgeon who took care of me in the hospital today. It's my b-day today so hopefully she'll tell me something good!!!

Mami, that's funny. My original intention was not to be as small as you, but I may turn out that way. I told my surgeon I would be happy at 150 and he's like "no no no no no" we can do better!

I'm 5'0 and was 211 my surgery day June 5, 2013. I've lost 45 lbs, I am 166. I've had a few complications though.

Do you guys just eat them plain? Just open them as take a bite?

Best thing I found at HEB was fat free Mootopia milk. It is lactose free milk but has like 12 or 13 grams of protein in a glass which is much more than regular milk or lactose free milk. I used it for everything to up my protein intake.

Thanks for the well wishes. Just because it happened to me doesn't mean it will happen to anyone else, I just wondered if anyone else had experienced an increase in them since surgery.

I'm the same! 7 weeks out and stuck between liquid and soft food stage. Just wish I could eat something but I've lost 42 lbs

I'm about 10 days post op...on liquids....think I could have one of these?
-
I understand I haven't had it nearly as rough as you but I can only imagine. I'm here if you need someone.

I'm glad were talking about this. I pretty much had a nervous break down this week. Upping my depressions meds. Valium has saved my sanity. Getting ready to move next week, school full time....blah blah I feel like I'm losing my mind. I urge everyone feeling this way to find someone to be there for you!!

Currently live in Texas but will be moving back to the Omaha, Nebraska area in a couple weeks. Any locals?!
-
Tomorrow I'm one month out...having one of those "I wish I didn't do this" days. Been feeling sick since last night....work, kids, school full time, husband getting out of army and getting ready to move all at the same time.....can't afford to be sick... sometimes I think feeling normal and being able to eat would be worth being my previous weight....pity party over here!!!

Thank you

Take some pain meds, just the minimal dose. I had a big hematoma undergone of my incisions which caused a Ton of pain up til a few days ago
-
Did some research and spoke with my doctor, discovered I may be having some withdrawal symptoms since I cold-turkeyed my Lortab a few days ago.....great....
-
So today is a new day but I still woke up feeling very sad and anxious. So much to do today, Idk how I'm gonna do it. 4 weeks today. Everyone tells me it gets better but I can't help but be scared it won't.
-
How far out are you? Don't be afraid to use your pain meds. I was on them for almost a month.

I wasn't given a medicine for gallstone prevention. I was on Zegerid antacid but it was nasty powder so now I just take Prilosec OTC. I open the caps and take it that way.

I'm 3wks 2 days out also. It really sucks. I make delicious refried Beans but can only eat 2 tablespoons. Sucks cause it tastes so good it makes me want more but if I eat just one bite too many I'm in excruciating pain! This is normal. You're allowed to be upset. I am too. One day at a time! Eventually we will feel a bit more normal!!!
