I had my surgery on the 17th, and I am down 24 pounds.

Hi my name is Blanche and I had my surgery 03/24/09 and Im feeling great. I will have my staples and drainage tube remove tomorrow. I have losed 5pounds and each day I have good moments and bad moments. Lewt's become friends and keep in toych with each other okay.

i feel a little better, im just sipping on a protein drink now cause i tried yogurt this morning and my stomach was so uneasy again. im probably just getting sick and this is the way my body responds!

Hello!

Robin,

  Hey you're doing great!! :0)

I had my first scrambled egg this morning, and it  was delightful! Just one, and I was FULL!!  It seems soo odd that I can make a packet of instant cream of wheat, or sugar free oatmeal...and it's 2 meals for me, when pre-surgery I could eat 3 pkts at a time! hehehe.


I made foil packet fish the other night for hubby and me. I made him salmon, and tilapia for me. Turned out yummy! I ate mine a bit too fast....got overly full...and I thought it was the foamies coming up to visit and it was actually a  .  I don't believe it was dumping, i was fine afterwards...I had just ate it too fast. Dummy me! Ohh well, lesson learned! I'm still trying to learn the sounds/pains etc.  I had 2 bites of hubbys salmon..I tried to be mindful, because there are a few people who post op say it's "too heavy" for their pouchies.

Protein wise for me in a day is any where from 75g-90+  depending on what I can get in.  I just picked up a case of OhYeah! drinks (meal replacements) they have 35g a bottle. And I also got a few bottles of Isopure  20oz bottle with 40g of protein in it.  The isopure is wayy better then the rank protein bullets i had bought! eww!


Best of luck to you!!
