April 2014 pre-op group



Recommended Posts

Day 4 post-op. Hopefully going home today. I can not believe how thirsty I am. Still have my drain bubble but think it will be removed before I go.

Everything else removed already removed. I am so excited to see the physical changes reflect the changes I have already made.

I can't wait for my own bed. Soon very soon!

Good luck may's group

Oh wow!!! No...I am new to the forum so I didn't know her!! That's terrible!!!! My prayers go out to her family:'(

I had my gallbladder removed a little over a year ago so I know what kind of GI complications can arise from that, and having this surgery done on top of that, I can only imagine:(

I am not sure if any of you are aware but one of our April surgeries passed away. Let's keep claw0416's family in our thoughts and prayers.

I just read this - so sad. Absolutely sending healing to the family.

As many times as I find out how much it hurts to take too big of a drink, I still do it sometimes:/ I don't know why. As soon as it hurts I tell my self "oh yeah" ugh!

Im increasing the drink intake now but its still hard. Goal today is to get in at least 40 oz of liquid plus at least 40 oz of Protein Shake. Wish me luck its going to be a full time job today.

I'm 10 days post op just tried Greek yogurt for the first time it made me stomach grumble. But today I got on the scale and I'm .4 lbs heavier.... What's going on with me?!! I've lost 28.5 lbs so far. I'm in such a down mood today I was so hoping to be closer to 30lbs today.

My surgeon just talked to me about this. He said it had to do with dehydration, losing a lot of Water weight and getting hydrated again. He told me to expect a stall and possible weight gain.

Don't panic! I'm 3.5 weeks post op, I lost 12 lbs the first week and have only lost 3 since. My nutritionist said it's completely normal-we will lose weight in steps!

My starting weight was 262 and I weighed myself today at 243.4 and I am 8 days post op....I am terrified to start eating food again. I have this fear that I won't continue losing weight:( that I would gain everything back. I have a meeting with my surgeon on the 6th so he can assess my healing and clear me for puréed foods. As much as I would love to have solid foods, I'm scared. I guess I will discuss these concerns with him. I just have this horrible feeling that my surgery won't work and I will never get to my goal. I can't even picture myself at a healthy weight.

I am so sad! Greeneyed Girl inboxed me and told me. Our surgery was the same day and we both had our gall bladders removed as well. My doctor told me that my gall bladder was bad and was well under my liver and full of rocks, however, I am still here by the grace of God. My prayers to her family. This is a very serious procedure! I am so sad.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
