Wow, can't believe it's been 2 weeks already. I've lost 22.5 lbs. so far. I was a size 28 shirt, but need to dig out some 26s. It's been very hard. I've wanted to eat normal food since the first week. I have a little in the past week. I've had Wendy's Chili, Cottege Cheese, Baked potatoe, fruit, and scrambled eggs. Everything sitting in the pouch well. I see surgeon tomorrow for update. I have this horrible awful pain near my left incision though. Surgeon said that he thought it was a muscle being pulled. I dunno. Wondering how I'll make it at work all day though. I feel so weak though. I can't walk as long as I used to or stand as long as I used to. I run out of energy so fast. I'll address it with my surgeon tomorrow. I know I haven't gotten anywhere near the protein I need and I wonder if it's that.

I there. Sorry about the late reply, but I had vsg surgery on 3/17 too. And, I am having the same left-side pain. To explain better, it's been a rough ride for me. It started out okay until about 3 days post op. They switched my pain med from what was given me in the hospital and I was in tears for nearly2 weeks straight. I went to emergency once and back to the doctor twice. He finally put me back on the original paid med and today I am doing far better except for the pain/discomfort in my upper left side. And, too, my energy level has decreased quite a bit. I'm praying as days go by I will continue to improve. I also wish you the very best in continued recovery.

I am so glad I visited here! I had my surgery 3/17 too and was losing steadily until Friday. My scale isn't the greatest but it is telling me that I have **gained** 4 lbs back. I am so bummed. I am so waiting for that stupid number to go back down. Plus I found out the hard way that I am allergic to whey protein. So, between the weight gain, constipation issues, and itchy hives I am a real prize tonight!! Melanie

I also had surgery on 3/17! I am down 25 lbs, but I have not lost in 6 days. At my two week check up my doc said I had nothing to worry about. I am not always the most patient person, but I am learning to be. Doctors are all different! My doc will not let us drink our calories. With no protein shakes, it is hard to get enough protein in. So I ordered a case of Proteinex. I am going to try it.

Hello! 3/25 surgery date......................two weeks out pretty much! Feeling okay, I have lost 27lbs since surgery but guess what happened? My dumb incision (open) has opened up causing me a lot of mental stress. Does any out there have any experience with a incision that opened up and if so, how long will it take to completely close. Feeling weird because of this................ PS.....Any suggestions on what I can do to spend the healing process up?
