Hi there fellow mates. I just wanted to know if I am on tract or not. I am 2 weeks post op and I have lost 15 pounds, is this normal. I have the overwhelming feeling it should be coming off faster. I am having a verily easy time so far(knock on wood) I have had minor nausea.

Hi Melissa, I am two weeks post-op today, and have lost 19 lbs. I had a visit to the Drs. ofc. on Tues. and asked about the weight loss- normal, too fast, too slow, etc? She said they look for about 1 lb. to 1 1/2 lb. per day. Glad you are having an easy time. Mine is not so bad, just feeling very, very, tired. Waiting to get the G tube out, the staples out, and start feeling normal again. My Dr. wants his patients to eat regular food, meat, fish, chicken, eggs, all protein, and NOT puree it. He says it's bad enough that we have changed our whole life style, so eat, take tiny bites, chew, chew, chew, and take at least 30 min. to finish a meal. Sounds funny, but when I went to regular food, I realize if I don't want to be sick, it does take that long. Best wishes, Tina
