I had my surgery Aug 1....so I am nine days out. I get my Protein shakes in..no problem...I drink Water...sipping and with a straw no problem...I've lost 10 pounds. What I'm confused about is why am I having no problems... everyone else talks about their lactose intolerance or nausea etc. I'm worried my surgery didn't work. I can drink as much as I did BEFORE my surgery..I have ate eggs and mashed potatoes with Isopure Protein powder added. I can't eat but about 5 bites before I feel it so I stop. I'm just scared to death since I have had no problems that my surgery isn't really working...

I didn't take any pain meds either...I hope I'm the same...I don't wanna beef bald!!! Haha

Lol yes yay!!...after I found out there were more out there..my fears subsided

My doctor said that is what the rumor is...but the straws really only cause extra gas...which I never had a problem with to start with...I've heard it put every way...you just have to go with your gut...after 15 years as an ER nurse...that's the best advice I can give...just finished (push) mowing my half acre yard...many would say don't do that 10 days out...but I know my body..I even went back to work yesterday..just told every one I couldn't lift!!!..,haha I was going crazy at this house!!

I was told the straw is better for me because I'm a gulper and have a super hard time sipping...I am going to embrace it..I'm definitely thankful...I was just so confused

I need to log mine....keep closer track

I am trying so hard...thanks guys...so relieved

I'm staying around 800...two protein shakes per day...as much water as I can get in and a meal of soup or something if that consistency....another rain I was scared is because today I felt so bloated...messed up and weighed..(promised myself I would only weigh on Fridays)...and I had gained two pounds....I just don't understand why...so not having any issues either..I thought omg it's not working

...I'm glad too...I feel relieved with all the replies!!!

Thank you guys so much. I have seriously been worried to death that something was wrong...since nothing seems to be wrong...hahaha. I so appreciate all your replies and comments

So you were able to drink basically just like before??? I am freaking out...I don't have the problems drinking...or even eating the soft foods...except I do notice I can feel the food after a few bites and stop myself from eating.
