I am almost 4 weeks post op. I'm back to work part time and doing pretty well. I am having trouble with eating, though. My weight loss seems a little stagnate because I am not getting enough water or protein down. I have had dumping syndrome a couple of times... not pleasant! I find I want to eat more than I can handle and then I am either miserable or have to throw up. I guess this is a learning curve and I need to keep learning. Take care, all. Julia

Hi Julia it's great to hear that you are getting along well. I hope you get the strength up before you have to return to work. I hope all goes well for you and that you have many years of happiness and being healthy. Take care.

Two weeks post-op! I'm doing pretty well. I could walk more, but I'm working on it. Still feeling pain in my stomach muscles, but I was able to get out and go to a movie with my brother last evening, so I'm making progress. My energy level is still pretty low and doesn't last long, but I have another week to get ready to go back to work. Thanks to everyone and their good wishes.

Greetings: Home for day 2, day 4 after surgery. I am covered in bruises and my incisions are starting to itch. I feel pretty well. I don't know how much protein and water I got yesterday, but I got some and I don't think I'm doing too badly. My sister Kate is staying with me and we took a walk yesterday and today I'll take another shower. Small steps. Take care all and thanks for the good wishes.
