Topic: RE: surgery 03/25..trouble getting in and out of bed
OH I was same way drinking lots of liquids and up/down out of bed and I had a horrible time getting out of bed and I tried the rolling on side/pulling legs to the floor first and lifting with that arm under me. It still hurt no matter what, but it did finally pass. My surgery was Monday 3/29. I am finally doing much better and have been off pain meds almost 24 hours. I am just having a hard time feeling satisfied. I'm not really hungry, just trying to adapt to our new lifestyle and liquid diet. I'm not having any problems getting protein down anymore so hopefully that satisfied feeling will subside,whatever it is.
Glad you are doing bettter.

When you are getting sick are you eating a new or different food?
I am loving the treadmill too! It can get a little boring but when I get bored I change it up a little by increasing the incline or jogging for 30 seconds or so.
What brand of veggie burger did you have? I used to do Boca's when I was on WW but I remeber them being a little dry. I had 4 shrimp last night they were marinated in wine and olive oil and they were delicious!
I was 20 lbs down at my 3 week. My home scale said 22. It's just a cheapy scale I have at home I am trying not to weigh myself too often. I am going to try and just weigh myself once per week. But it's hard!
I am up at my mom's house this weekend and thankfully she has a treadmill here. It's calling my name tonight after the boys are in bed!

Congrats on your 18 lbs!
Keep us posted on your recovery. Sorry to hear you had complications. From what I hear complications can occur immediately after surgery as yours did and also years after surgery. At some point it could happen to any of us.
Sounds like you are being the model patient by all of your walking, that is so great. Keep following the dr.'s orders and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Weight is coming off very fast and effortlessly. I do try to ride my stationary bike daily. My surgeon still has me on a full liquid diet (been a month now... 2 weeks preop and 2 weeks so far post op). In 8 days I'm allowed to eat soft foods. So far I've had no problems, thankfully. But I sure can't wait to start eating some real food again instead of just liquids!

HI Maggie!
How did your appointment go? I haven't been eating a whole lot yet my stomach does good for a day or two then I get sick if I eat. Been walking on my treadmill for at least a half hour a day. Been eating cottage cheese and yogurt too. I even had a quarter of a veggie burger patty the other day. Wasn't as bad as I thought it woud be. Were the doctors scales close to what you are weighing at home? Hopefully talk to you soon!

hey i had the SAME issues as to getting out of bed and making it easier this is going to sound strange but it really helped for me someone else who had surgery the same day as me told me this
Lay on your side and try and get both legs off the bed if youcant get both thats ok..
make sure you have one of your arms under you i.e.the one that you are probably laying on lift up your let thats on the top and use your strength and pull your leg down quick;y as you push up on your arm thats under you .... essentially rocking you up wards in a sitting position

Topic: RE: Results of 3 week post op
I like unjury too, I think it mixes well. I will have to look into the Isopure do you happen to know how much sugar if any there is in that?
I think you will like the unflavored Unjury in Crystal Light, it's refereshing. I like the natural lemonade.
