Hey all! This is my first post on this website and would really appreciate some feedback. Here I go... My two week post op is coming up, I have been able to more recently get closer to the requirement for the Protein and Water, I never had a problem with Soups, and am starting to feel more myself. Did any of you have a weight goal to loose before for first post op? And did anyone ever barely loose or maybe even gain in the first few weeks? I myself do no have a certain amount I want to loose before my post op. I wonder if I should have started out strict that way, I guess I'm just afraid of failing. This whole process is new to me. I did a lot of research, went to support groups, but nothing really prepares you till you actually do it!! And thanks in advance to all who respond. Hearing others experiences really helps me.

That's where my mind and energy has been focused, on the resting and healing aspect. I read so much about the pains, gas, reflux, and let me tell you, in my own personal experience, after many other surgeries, giving birth to 4 kids (2 "regular" and 2 c-section) the pain in the beginning is the worst pain I've ever felt! I'm glad it got better! My body is definitely telling me to rest, and I have been. And for me, having 4 kids and a hubby normally the word rest does not really apply in my world so I am using this time to do just that. Thanks for the reply.

Oh my goodness! 20 lbs.! That's amazing!!!! Congratulations. I honestly don't feel any lighter than day of surgery. I am starting my log tomorrow. I thought since I'm just on soups/protein drinks/water I didn't really need to start it but you are right, starting strict is the way to go. Thank you.

Thanks! I will try the New Whey brand. And I was thinking of trying a mix for soup, I'll have to order that too. Thanks for your help. Have a great football Sunday!
