Here's my drs guidelines: 64 oz fluidly a day. 70 G Protein a day. No straws, caffeine or carbonated beverages for LIFE. No bread, rice, Pasta, crackers, popcorn for at least a year. Wait 30 minutes after eating before drinking. Per serving anything you eat should have no more than 5 g fat and 10 g sugar. No more than 30 G protein at a time because your body can not absorb more than that at a time. When I went in for my 2week check up I wasn't getting in enough protein and fluids.

@"peekaboo" I had my two week checkup already. I don't go back for 3 months. I did try MOM. It worked, a little too well lol! I think part of my problem is water retention. Before surgery I was on lasix, but they took me off it because it might cause dehydration.

I started wearing jeans around 3weeks out.

I also need a mentor! I had surgery 10/29/14, about 4 weeks out. HW 305, SW 297, CW 273. I'm getting VERY discouraged because I'm just not losing much weight at all. Dropdeadweightdiva, I would love to get the weight training program you mentioned.

Hi. I'm almost 4weeks out. Had surgery 10/29/14. Highest weight 305, surgery weight 297, current weight 273.6. I had no problems post-op, no pain. I only had gas the day of my surgery. I'm frustrated because since surgery I've only lost 11#. This is day 3 on soft/puréed foods. I seem to tolerate the foods well, just not much at a time. For the last week I've been feeling really tired. And I'm constipated,lol

I'm almost 3weeks out and right after surgery I gained 4 pounds. Then I lost 10 and back up 5. I'm stuck there. I'm trying to get the protein and fluids in but I just can't hold it all. Anybody else gaining like this after surgery?
