1 week post op

HI Everyone,
Thought i would drop by and give a quick update. I am 7 days post op and feeling great. No pain, i am weak, but thats about it. I am on liquids for 2 weeks. (1 week left) My day consists of 2 protein shakes, water and low fat cream of chicken soup. Exciting isnt it.

You guys will do just fine. My only pain was gas pain the first 3 days after surgery.
As of now i am down 15lbs in 7 days!! WOOOHOOO

Yay! Glad to hear your doing so well! wow 15 in 7 days....amazing stuff! 

HI  OH so glad it went well!  good to keep us posted!
 WTG on -7 lbs!!!

Sounds like your doing well. I was up 12 now down 5...
How many oz of protien shake are you getting in? I just started this am using shakes and I am curious how much you are taking.
I also woke up to a Blood sugar of 58, lowest it has been in well who knows.

Hello,
I am fine getting my protein shakes in. Water, not so good. I ordered a bunch of samples of protein powder from vitalady.com My shakes w/ skim milk are 41 grams of protein. I have 2 a day and am good to go! Necter Capacinno is amazing!

Congrats, and continued success on your weight loss

Thanks for the update!  What did you do for the gas pain? You sound happy and strong... I hope to join you soon! Next Tuesday!  Best of everything to you!

that's awesome.  Thanks for the update.  Keep us posted.

I am 5 days out and doing well. Each day feeling better. I have had quite a bit of abdominal incision pain, especially in the upper right quadrant. That is where the largest lap incision is and where the drain tube was. I haven't taken any pain meds at home, and can still do OK. The hardest part is getting up from sitting or lying down.

I am very interested in checking out a 41 g protein shake. The GNC one I use, like others I have seen, are in the ball park of 21 g plus what you add with milk.

I have lost 10 pounds since 5/7!
