Hi There,

I had my surgery on March 9th.  Great to see so many supportive people.  I am looking for more post surgery support.  The support group I go to mostly just has pre-ops and well....we are facing different issues.

I was one month out on the 17th as well, down just 22 pounds, but I'm doing so much better this week than I was last week, the pain is finally going away and I can actually pick things up off the ground this week!!  ;)  Glad you're doing well!  Happy one month surgiversary!

i was told not to try anything with sugar alcohol until im about 3 months out because people can sometimes dump when eating it.
but in another month ill def. try it!!! thanks so much!!!

Welcome! I was told to sip 1 ounce of protein liquid or water every 15 minutes. That helped with the thirst. After a week, I was just carrying around a water bottle and sipping it constantly.

Breakfast during the week: Protein Shake
Breakfast on weekends: 2 poached eggs, 1 slice whole wheat toast
Lunch: tuna or salmon salad, ground turkey, veal or pork in tomato sauce, canned fruit
Snack: protein shake
Dinner: Cod, Salmon, Fillet of sole, shrimp, ground meats, canned soft veggies

I like EAS Advantage shakes. I get them at BJ Wholesale. They are pre-mixed and taste really good.

Also on chewable multi-vitamin, calcium lonzenge, sublinqual B-12

Sometime for a snack I have 4-5 pita chips with some greek yogurt based dip or hummus.
