2 month f/u

Well I 've been doing well. I've lost 45 lbs so far and i feel wonderful.! I have to say i don't get to exercise as much as i want to due to my upside down schedule, but i do go 3-4 days a week. I 've been able to tolerate just about everything. I finally experienced the dumping syndrome tonight. I took a bite of a PB&J sandwich and within mins. i was feeling dizzy and my heart felt like it was racing, also i feel very tired now. So i learned my lesson!!! Anyways I'm doing well and wish you all the best. Talk to you soon.

3 week post op

i don't think I'm getting all my protein. The Dr. said to eat from the mushy list but also drink one protein shake a day. I 've lost 26 pounds and i feel great. Unfortunately with me working nights at the hospital it's difficult to work out everyday. All in all I'm loving the way i feel and look. I can see what people mean by eating a few table spoons and feeling "comfortably full". My old comfortably full was eating a big mac meal w/ a coke, and really feeling full. But now i feel satisfied and i understand I'm only trying nourish my body and not trying to be buddy buddies with food again.

It's been 2 weeks I've lost about 21 lbs and feel great! I was given the OK to start the soft mushy diet. For 6 weeks i get to eat mushy food.LOL. I had my first taste today with caned chicken, added some mayo and i ate it , it was good for all day. Also had some cottage cheese with small chunks of cheese, it was half a cup went down great no problems. Joined a gym, feel real motivated. I haven't been sad or depressed. Just really good, feel healthy.

It's been 8 long days. the reason i say this because I've been starving!! Not to worry i haven't strayed i'm just so hungry. Other than that i feel much better went back to work last night( i work nights) and i felt great. I'll be on the liquid diet for another week. I see the Dr on Friday. I thought that i be feeling full, but i suppose since it's only liquid that it goes right through me. I can tolerate just about everything, I'm getting bored of the shakes, I 've lost 17 pounds and i walk 30 mins each day.

Hello. Wanted update how I've been holding up so far.I've been able to drink my protein shakes with no problem. As a matter of fact I've been starving, but the shakes do fill me up. The only thing so far that i cant tolerate so well is yogurt. I had purchased some Yoplate plain Greek yogurt with 2x more protein, but after blending it with some splenda and lactose fat free milk i had the worst gas, ever. It was so painful it brought me to tears. So never again. But i suppose that 's how you learn what you can tolerate. Had some SF jello went down well, overall I have to say I've been feeling ok. I do have the occasional pain in the lower left area of my abdomen, the nurses at the hosp said it was a common area to have pain for WLS patients. So overall I'm good it's true what other blogs have said that it does get better day by day.

Surgery went great
Apr 10, 2010
I had surgery Thursday morning. I got to the hospital at 6 a.m. i was up in pre-op by 6:20. IV was started at 6:45, i had to pee so they can take anther pregnancy test, of course it was negative. The anesthesiologist came to talk to me at 6:30 and so did my surgeon Dr. Ferrari. They gave me a cocktail at 6:50 as i was being wheeled into the OR, next thing i remember was waking up on recovery around 11:30 A.M I don't remember a thing, thank God! Was taken to my room around 11:40 A.M. , was forced to cough to bring up my Sat's. The whole experience was great. The nurses and staff were wonderful.

Back home from Surgery
Apr 10, 2010
Well I'm back home today. I have to say i don't feel a difference. I guess i expected some miracle overnight. LOL.
I'm sore from the major insion, my doctor said to get 45 grams of protein everyday, liquid diet for 2 weeks. Walk around the house as much as possible. I have a 2 week f/u with him and well see how things go. I got home had a carnation breakfast shake with fat free milk, i had no problems with it. At the hospital they gave me clear broth both chicken and beef. Today before being discharged they gave cream of chicken again no problems. I was expecting something to hurt or feel discomfort but i didn't. I hope this works for me.I read all these horror stories about coming home and feeling horrible, but i don't.
He gave me hydrocodone in liquid form for pain, and I'm going to start to crush my thyroid medication tomorrow.
