Just got home from Urgent Care. I was dehydrated but just the beginning stages. Blood work was good and stomach x-rays looked good, minus me being backed up (sorry I know, TMI). Does anyone know if we can take Miralax? The doctor I saw wants me to start taking it but she said to of course check with my surgeon first. They hooked me up to some fluids and gave me some Zofran through my IV as well. Feeling better now that I've had the fluids, not 100% better but definitely better! She told me to double up on my Zofran when I start to feel nauseous and to push fluids and get as much Fluid as physically possible and not worry about getting my daily Protein or any of that right now cause main focus is getting enough fluids...

I had surgery on September 5th. Im almost back to full solids now so my diet may be a little different than yours at this stage... I dont have any specific things that im eating, as far as like recipes and stuff. I bean chili with no meat, im making the ricotta bake everyone raves about tonighy so we'll see how that tastes. Ive struggled with knowing exactly what to eat so I get in ruts from time to time.

So it has been a little over a month now since my surgery. I am down 59 pounds so far. Here is my first comparison photo. Figured id share it with everyone. :-)

Yeah I'm truly trying to find Protein I can tolerate! I think I may end up just getting the unflavored and start making smoothies all day long and just live on those for a while! Lol!! That's my biggest fear is my hair falling out!! My hair is already thin as it is I don't have any to spare! lol!! Plus I've got my cousin's wedding in about 5 weeks so I REALLY hope I don't start losing hair before the wedding! I'm the maid of honor so I gotta look good! Haha!! I'm glad to hear your hair grew back though, that gives me some hope if I do lose it!!
You look great by the way!! Definitely is encouraging to see people's success through their pictures and stories!! :-)

Thank you Shine! Yes I too liked the AdvantEdge shakes before surgery but now they do not agree with me at all! My main problem is that before surgery I could just chug the Protein Shake and get it over with! Now I can't do that so the taste gets to me! Lol!! I will have to look into the brands that you mentioned and see if I can get some samples and try them out! Hope your having a great day! :-)
