Surgery was completed yesterday and I'll be checking out in an hour. Surgery went well and no complications, although the overwhelming nausea is annoying. I'm struggling to get liquids so really need to stay focused on that. A 1 MizzouGirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im staying anoghet night' date=' repaired two hernias[/quote'] I hope you're feeling better Staci. I was plain miserable yesterday but feel 100% better today. I'm up to 4oz of H2O an hour and will try a Protein shake soon. I am a little surprised by all the incisions on my belly, I feel like Frankenstein!! I have 6 total, 4 are about 1in long, others shorter. Can I ask how many you have? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Staci27 31 Posted May 30, 2013 I have 7.. the biggest one is where they removed my port about 1 to 2 inches long, I have staples too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarahj 61 Posted June 11, 2013 I also had my surgery on the 28th. Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I had my 2 week check up today, down 15lbs. I got the ok to start on the next phase of the diet, but it was a rough day. Tried turkey chili, got through about 4 spoonfuls at 1pm today and it is still sittin like a brick in my stomach. Trial and error for this next phase I guess. Unfortunately, I had only had a Protein Shake before that so I am really really low on both fluids and Protein today. But this full feeling is crazy!

Staci27 31 Posted June 11, 2013 I am on phase 2 of my diet plan: full Liquid Protein diet... I get fat free creamed Soups, strained, and milk and Protein shakes.. I have come to really like the Muscle Milk, it has 25g of protein and lactose free, 3g sugar, but the calories are a little high of 220, but I try to just drink one a day. I am absolutely not having any problems. I get liquids down just fine, and have not had any issues drinking milk or eating Jello. Last night I even tried refried Beans, which I probably shouldn't have until my next phase of my diet, but not issues and after about 3 bites, I was very full, not too full that I wanted to vomit.. But I felt full, and it felt nice for the first time. I am down to 228.4.. I am so very excited, people at work are saying how I look like I am loosing weight, and my clothes are starting to feel loose.. great feelings guys.. It's been a very long time.. Good luck to you all... ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We do soft foods for 3 weeks before next transition - how long does yours last? Oh I don't think I could have done another 7 days of liquids. I am on soft food for 2 weeks. It is harder then I expected. When you think your eating slow, slow down. That is going to be my thought for this next 2 weeks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
