Whipped

I was surprised when I weighed myself today, Day 18 after surgery and only down 14lbs! I wasn’t told to be on any sort of diet before the surgery except for a liquid diet 1 day prior to surgery. Is it unusual to loose so slowly?

Hi I’m exactly a week post Op. Doing pretty good except I really dislike protein shakes which leaves me with not too many options. Two things concerning me right now is that a) I got tiny little red pimples All over the upper part of my stomach. b) I also keep having an intense pain (feels like it’s my stomach) it comes strong, last 2 seconds and then subsides. This pain comes and goes especially while eating!

Thank you all! I appreciate all you responses. I guess I will contact my dr tomorrow. Do patients call their drs on his/her private phone number? He called me for a follow up so that’s the only way I have his number. I find that calling the hospital in order to contact him is just too time consuming. Regarding Protein shakes. It’s not like I dislike the taste of it. It’s the texture and smell and can’t even take a sip of it.. So I’m definitely not getting the protein I need 😞
