August Post Ops

[bloreorbust 286]

I also had surgery August 26th. Lot's of pain, but no complications so I can't complain.

"Eating" and fluids are going great. Although I do of course have to force myself to eat and time things out so I get it all in throughout the day. Yesterday I just gave up by evening because I got sick of eating. Imagine that lol.

Pushing myself to walk a little more each day. I try to walk a couple times at least. Grocery shopping, walking around my apartments.

As for weight loss:

Start of Weight Loss: 406

Day of Surgery: 376

Two Days after Surgery: 395

Two Days after being home: 381

This morning: 370

It's incredible to see how far I can come just a week after surgery. Can't wait to see what comes next!

How soon were you all able to start wearing a bra again? I tried the past couple days, at 4 days post op, and I thinj it has been causing me some unnecessary pain.

2 days after surgery I started wearing my sports bra again. No discomfort.

I haven't tried wearing a bra yet...my upper left side stomach burns to bad to try.

Hi! I have been having a really uncomfortable pain in my right side (no incisions). The pain goes vertically and feels like a pulled muscle, but after having a bmovement I feel a little better. Hard to believe it is Constipation.

Hey all!

I'm 4 weeks out now and made a pizza today and it was delicious. Whole wheat tortilla, ricotta cheese, pizza sauce, mushrooms, pepperoni and shredded cheese. Omg. I was in heaven.

Hi. My surgery was Aug 19. It went well. My only problem so far is getting enough Protein. After drinking it for 3 wks I've started gagging on it & can't force it down. The only way I can do it is freeze it like a fudgecicle. I've been pretty good about taking Multivitamins, liquid Calcium and getting enough Clear liquids.

Pre liquid diet weight 387lbs

Surgery weight 375lbs

Current weight 355lbs

I have a follow-up meeting with my doc & nutritionist on Wed where I hope to get permission to drive & start soft foods.

I did nibble on some cheese last night & it went well in my pouch. I can't wait for cottage cheese lol

Have you tried the clear Isopure drink? The Apple Melon and Alpine Punch are good. Each bottle is 40g of Protein. I drink half a bottle earlier in the day then the other half in the evening. They also sell the powder to mix with Water. At GNC they are about $5 a bottle.

I couldn't stomach the Isopure drinks. I bought one of each & couldn't keep down one. I'm also having a hard time drinking/eating crushed pill mixtures. My stomach hurts so bad on the upper left side I'm terrified of throwing up.
