Topic: RE: Home Sweet Home .... but
Trish, I guess they tell us not to weigh ourselves for a reason. I came out of surgery
16 lbs more than I went in, now I am almost down to what I went in at. I am seven days out. I retain fluids normally but I had Fred Flinstone feet all week. I shouldn't weigh every day but I do, just curious. I know the weight will come off but we have to give our bodies a chance to really get back to normal. Some people are just quicker. I
think it will even out in the end. Let us know in one month how you are doing

Topic: What not to do 3 days before surgery!
So last night I was poking around the forums and ended up on the Memorial page! Not the place to go three days before your surgery!!! My husband walked into the room and saw me crying. He asked what was the matter. I told him what I was doing. He advised me that now was not the right time to look at that, but to consider what I was doing and why I was doing it. So some day go and honor our brothers and sisters, but don't do it now.

Topic: RE: 1st Dumping Syndrome experience
Sorry, forgot to add this......buy slim fast low carb drinks. They each have 1g of sugar and a massive 20g of protein and is only 110z drink! This has been what I'm having and have had nooooooo problems at all.
Topic: RE: 1st Dumping Syndrome experience
Omg, 27g? Yeah, thats WAY too much sugar. I'm not supposed to even look at anything that has over 10g per serving. So yeah, I would say to not have anything like that anymore. Did your nut not give you a sugar gram limit? You also have to look at things like sugar alcohol as well, it will cause dumping too.

Topic: HELP THERE WASNT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS MUCH PAIN!
hi,
I am 5 days post op and have so much burning and pulling in my abdomen that I can't walk very long at all. I feel like that if I had some support around my abdomen that it would feel so much better but every time I stand gravity pulls and I can hardly bare the pain. did anyone have a brace or girdle after surgery for ab support? Did the hospital staff just forget to give me one? I can't believe that I am such a whiner that the pain is worse for me. Something must be wrong. HELP

Hi Trish
Welcome home. I am 9 days out. In the hospital 2 days out, I was up 6 kg!!! Mostly it was water weight, inflammation, and swelling. It took a couple of days and now I am starting to loose. Were you on IV fluids? With any luck things will improve quickly for you. I just hope you start to feel better soon.
I hope your recovery gets better. One day at a time.
