Down 30 pounds since surgery 3/11/13' date=' but the scale has not moved in days, and I'm trying to remain calm. I'm getting in all my Protein & Water, and my calories are running 500-600, w/ the goal of about 800 per my NUT. I have multiple sclerosis & have not exercised, literally, in years. This week I started low impact water aerobics & chair yoga. Could I be building muscle already? Or am I just being too much of a nut about the scale? I'm trying not to be crazed but failing!![/quote']

Ur fine! There is a whole thread about this. Search "stalled already". I was feeling the same as u. There is all kinds of great advice on there!

Thanks for the advice on throwing up. It was just so scary bc I kept having spasms in my tummy and esophagus. They were very painful. I just had to wait it out. It took about 1.5 hours to go away.

Oh no! I wonder if I did something similar. I bent over Sunday and felt a huge ouch in left side. Since then I have damn near unbearable left side pain near incision. I was going to call the surgeon tomorrow. It's 3 hours away and I'd like to avoid that drive if possible. I'm worried its a hernia or something.

I sure hope you feel better soon.

Did your doctor said Anything ??? because... I'm going thru the something like that .today I'm going to the doctor tomorrow morning . I'm hopping it is nothing bad .

Quick question. My surgery was March 29th. I was advanced to very soft foods yesterday..I can have anything soft enough that you don't have to chew...this morning I wasn't hungry but this afternoon I'm really hungry. Is anyone else really hungry aas soon as they started food!

I spoke with my doc. He said it isn't uncommon to strain the area on the left side if you aren't careful. I was 2 and a half weeks out and decided my dumb ass needed to rake leaves. I had been feeling zero pain before that....now I'm paying or it. The doctor didn't seem concerned about it when we went over the symptoms on the phone. He did say I shouldn't lift etc...until it resolves which could be a couple of weeks. Let me know how your Dr's visit comes out.
