MAY 2013 POST-OP GROUP

[renjames 30]

I'm 7 weeks post op and I stall for the past 3 weeks. I'm really upset any suggestions how I can go back in track

Stalling is natural, don't worry stay on the course.

Up your calories if you can by 100. That seems to have broken my second stall. I'm 10 weeks out today.

Increase your calories a bit. Increase your Protein and Water. I found if I eat more i loose more. Weird, but true...

I am actually doing great. Surgery was May 7th & I'm 71 pounds down. I love that I can move more & do more things. dinner tonight is Quinoa (which I just love) with stir fry veggies & feta cheese. It's great Protein & it fills you up.

Doing ok here. Surgery May 28. Down 55 pounds. Stalled for past 3 days. Trying to up Protein, only getting about 30 grams each day, but I can't eat any more than what I am eating. Dealt with kidney infection, but better now. Potassium low so I am on meds for that, but feeling great overall. Started at a size 24 pants and just had to buy new ones in size 18. Slowly but surely getting there! How about you?

MY NEW MANTRA....IF I FED IT TO THE DOG' date=' I CAN'T LOG IT ON MY food CHART... lol. Anyone else feeding their food (like a naughty child) to the dog under the dinner table.????[/quote']

My two dachshunds have taken to sitting at my feet waiting for my to give them whatever I haven't eaten. :-)

[terry1118 1,274]

I've lost 32 lbs since surgery on May 30, for a total of 44 lbs (I lost 12 lbs before surgery ). I have trouble eating what I should. I've had a few episodes of food getting stuck (VERY unpleasant!), so I'm super cautious of quantity, texture, and timing. Sometimes I have to make a choice between drinking or eating, since I can't do both during my lunch time at work. And I'm never hungry so if I get busy I just forget to eat. I'm still trying to get all my Fluid AND my Protein in each day. I don't get both every day but I'm working on it.

Overall I'm happy with my results so far. I've gone from a tight-fitting 22 to a comfy fitting 18. My back pain is almost gone and my knees and feet don't hurt anymore. I feel like I look better so my self confidence is improved. I feel good! I hate summer - too hot - and am looking forward to enjoying the Fall this year. It's my favorite season. :-)

I'm checking in again too.....Surgery date 5/15....down 57 pounds. I'm looking like my old self again and my clothes are starting to fall off me. I fit into a Large Shirt which is a big deal for me...Seemed to have skipped over 1x and XL....pants are a bit slower, but it will come, I'm sure of it.

Hope you're all doing well!!!
