    I took 3 weeks off.

    OCTOBER 2014

    I am down 50 pounds since October 22nd. It was a very rough time during the post op phase but I am doing fantastic today. I have basically donated my entire closet of clothes. I am now wearing a size 12 in jeans.....it has been a long time since I was this thin. Still have 40 pounds to lose but I am well on my way. I wish everyone else continued success.
  3. What a wonderful journey. Good luck, and I wish you continued success.
  4. I am 9 weeks out and was doing ok until the last week. The thought of eating eggs will make me sick to my stomach and I have been nauseated the better part of last week. I feel like I am regressing a little. Today, I had a yogurt, 3 bites of fish and for dinner 2 oz of pork roast and a few cubes of potato. Liquids are a struggle as well. I am going to have a protein drink to try and get hydrated and some protein in. Anyone else experiencing this.....I have NO APPETITE at all.

    hands freezing

    Feet and hands are cold after surgery. Very strange.

    Should I or Not?

    Pills have so many harsh side effects. IMO, the roux n y would be very appropriate to help with weight loss and your medical issues.

    Energy

    I am 3.5 weeks post op and my energy is way up, so much that I am not sleeping. I cannot believe how much I have got done around the house. Feeling super productive and probably going to crash soon.
  8. I was the opposit. Late afternoon and evenings were my best time.

    I just mashed up some flounder and squash. I had a few bites and then had the most intense chest pain that lasted about 10 minutes. This is the third time I have had this happen when I try puréed foods. Anyone else experiencing this pain when eating?

    Blurry vision

    That explains the blurry vision. Awesome information.

    I had a cup of cream of potato soup from Panera yesterday. I picked out any bits of bacon and mashed up the potato. It went down and stayed.

    starting to get depressed

    Jonathan, you are so right. I have tried to follow the nutritionist plan until the point I was sick. I then called the doctors office and the first thing they said was, "I do not care about the protein, just stay hydrated" and it started to make sense. So now I try to get my meds and a couple tablespoons of cottage cheese for breakfast. Lunch is some some with protein powder and the vitamins. Little by little I manage.

    @@Bronxmerci, I am very sorry to hear of your struggles. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I know when we consent to surgery we really do not expect anything to be less than ideal. I am sure a feeding tube was not what you had in mind. Take care and stay positive.
