How do you feel and how much food?

Hi fellow losers . I just wanted to do a pulse check. My surgury (LAP RNY) will be 3 weeks ago on Tuesday. I feel great except for two things...I feel like I always have a "stitch" in my left side. Not that painful...just like I have run too much. I also get tired really easy. For instance, today I ran a couple errands including going to the mall. I was out for about 3hrs and was exhausted and needed to come home and rest. Also, I started my pureed diet last Thursday and I am eating about 400 calories, about 35 grms of protein and about 35 oz of water. think this is normal and I am doing well, but I just wanted to do check and see if others are progressing the same. All responses appreciated. Thanks Missy btw-I am down about 20 lbs also.

Hey Missy, My date was the 16th so we are close.. your a Tuesday, I'm a Friday Stitch.. seems normal.. I have a little one too sometimes.. nothing painful.. just a "feeling". As far as food.. seems to be pretty good. Calories? UMMM.. I don't know. Probably about the same or a little more. Water, same, but protein.. I think mine is a little closer to 45 or so. Weight loss has been great so far.. 25 lbs so far. But it has slowed down considerably.. had 20 at 11 days.. now 25 on day 16. (Like I'm complaining, NOT) I go back to work on Monday... and I know all about exhaustion.. I have no idea ... except that I get tired really easily now and take at least one nap a day.. this will be a big change.. I have the sick time.. just need to get back to work.. and also, I obsess about food now.. I need to keep busy. My house is clean.. the closet cleaned out.. my book is finished.. just need to get back to normal.. Take care and email me if you would like ~ Jan

My 3rd week was the most tiring. Because I did feel good I tried to go and do things...........then I needed a nap. I also found myself going to bed earlier at night. You are doing the right thing. Just think the body is shut down while it is trying to figure out why you are starving it. Good luck. Dawn

Dear Missy!! Yeah, What's with that side stitch thing? I have it, too. I had RNY Lap on 1/29 and came home 1/31 and ever since I have the side stitch on and off. THought it would go away when I pooped. BUt it is still on and off! Well, I guess we have to wait and see what the doc says. My first visit is 2/9....I'll let you know what the surgeon says about this pain. Regards, Midge Ruhl from Indian Head Park IL
