The "bariatric Blues"

[Granddaddy 45]

I am 2 weeks post op and have has minimal pain you will be just fine. Trust in the doctor and follow the rules to a T and all will go as planned. I will be saying prayers for you and your doctor. I just had my second visit with mine via Skype and he said I am ahead of some schedules. Heading back to work tonight and will see how it goes.

Everything is normal. My motto is that just like you have to kiss a lot of frogs until you find your Prince, you have to try a lot of shakes until you find one that suits you. Buy single serving packs or samples whereever you can. Try RTD , powders , shots and liquid Proteins. Also try yogurts (I prefer Fage 0%,) or Kefir. Once you can get in your Proteins and fluids your energy level will perk right up. In the mean time make sure you are taking your Vitamins and supplements.

As for the weight gain, do not worry. I bet you haven't had a BM yet either. Either way, it's early days and your body is adjusting to major surgery and an entirely new eating program. Once it realizes that you are not starving or dying it will release the calories.
