Just Soso

Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum, and I am two weeks post-op. After surgery, I feel like my surgeon lacks the support I need. So, if I have a question I kind of refrain from asking him. So I thought I would ask on here. Q: I am almost 3 weeks post op, and I stop losing weight. The day of surgery my weight was 251 and a week later I was 240. Now, my weight is just sitting at 241 no movement. I drink water and broth mostly. I do protein shakes as well. Anyone else experience this?

How are you doing now?

Hi! To very honest everyone is different. I had a tough time. The incision that they remove the stomach from was very tender. It's felt like I was punched in my abdomen several times, making it difficult to talk. You have to do your breathing exercises. It took a week for the pain to subside. I couldn't imagine sitting in class for 3 days a week for 8 hours. You may need time to recover. Also, don't forget about gas pains and blood clotting. Gas once you feel the need to release it, let it go.. it's very uncomfortable and painful. I hope this helps. My surgeon made me feel like I was going to be up and running. It definitely was not the case. Good luck!

Good Luck!

Still on full liquids. I start puree on Saturday.

How do you get out of it?

Okay. I thought I was going crazy, because I barley eat now. So why no weight loss? Also, do you feel like food is stuck on your throat and won't go down and you can't bring it up?

I had mine done July 13th!
