Andy-
You still have a tube in? Oh my! (((((hugs))))) is this just normal for your doctor or did you have complications? I know you will feel sooo much better once you have that tube out. I was lucky in that my surgeon took EVERYTHING out the day I left the hospital...No icky JP Drain, no "Q" ball no tubes.
I just had to go back a week later and get the metal staples out.
I know what you mean about "pulling" something, I did that about 2 weeks out from surgery when I had to bend down to clean one of the dog crates and I felt this "pull" thankfully the surgeon said everything was OK, and nothing popped. Maybe having that tube in is making the muscles irritated and more prone to injury? (I'm no doctor but I could not even imagine having that tube in). I hope you get it out soon and get to feeling better! Good luck!
Warmly,.

LOL! We are all very similar in that we hit a "two week stall" means were all normal!
I had mine the 29th. Am now on soft foods and (knock on wood) doing really well. All incisions healed, no problems with any foods or any intolerances and I have lost 36 lbs since June 29th.
(I am 250 today from 286 on surgery day). I walk around a mile everyday, (Although in this heat I do a lot of my walking indoors on the treadmill!)
Also, like most of you. I am still healing internally, so I am not doing any weight lifting yet (which I can't wait to get back too!) I had a rather fun "Wow!" moment the other day...
So yesterday Hubby and son and I go to Joe's Crab Shack (So I could have a few delicious steamed crab legs).
We got into a booth that just two months ago I would NOT have fit in! Today not only did I fit, but had like 6 inches + to spare in front of me! I was so happy that I yelled "Woo Hoo!!!!" out loud like a nutty woman...Hubby and son laughed with me and got my "WOW moment" right away especially as I kept making two hands go in front of me and the table! LOL!
It's so nice to see other "June Surgery" folks on here. I wish all of you the BEST journey on your weight loss surgery journey and continued improved health! ((((hugs))))
Warmly,
Jackie
Second WOW was how nice "real" food tasted again! I ordered the steamed crab legs, had maybe 3 whole crab legs, bought the rest home...Took them out of the shell, mixed it with a bit of low fat mayo, dill, fresh cracked pepper and a squirt of lemon juice....What a YUMMY crab salad! I am so happy I have had this surgery!

I had mine on the 29th and doing great.. But i havent lost in the last week and ahalf.
Its really starting to other me. But other then that im a bit backed up havent found a cure for that yet nothing seems to be working. But hubbys thinks its becasue i am not eatting enough so i am really trying to eat three times a day!
We will see how that works i oray that it gets the scale moving again!

Topic: RE: soft diet = soft stool?
I had the problem right after surgery, It stopped after a couple of days but my Dr said if it had continued he wanted me back in the hospital. Have to be careful of dehydration and infection. Call his doctor & they may order a stool test. Most people are actually constipated due to the medication.

Right now I'm in pain because earlier I think I moved the wrong way & pulled something around my Gtube. Otherwise I too had surgery on the 29th. I lost about 20 so far.The weights been frozen for a couple of days. They call it the 2 week stall. I've done better then most. Gtube is giving me the most trouble. I had a bad rash w/ blisters until a couple days ago. Have not gotten sick at all. A little nausea but the medicine usually helps that. Still can't lie on my side or back, sleep sitting up in bed.Having trouble getting all my liquids in. I feel like I'm always drinking something & it still isn't enough. I get the tube out on the 2nd so counting the days. Good luck to you!

Topic: RE: June 28th RNY...... updates
Hey there, I hope all is well. I had mine (RNY) June 29th. As of the 2 week post op visit I was down 23lbs. For the most part things have been going well, some days were better than others those first 2 weeks. I had no energy and actually had a couple of dizzy spells but this past week I have been feeling more like myself.
I am still waiting to be 100% pain free, I had thought I would have bounced back alot quicker than I have. I am off work until Aug. 2 and hoping to pain free by then.
Well good luck!

Topic: RE: June 16th... Oh my...
Hi I also had RNY surgery on June 16! I am feeling great and have lost about 30lbs. I am afraid to eat as I feel I can eat anything. It is still hard for me to know when to stop. I just don't get the full feeling especially when I graze on popcorn! Any ideas?
Topic: soft diet = soft stool?
Sorry for the unpleasant question, but my husband was sleeved on June 15 and is complaining of sudden, urgent soft stool. He says it's just due to the liquid/soft diet, but I'm not so sure.
Anyone else care to share?
Thanks!

I was just wondering how everyone is doing that had their procedure on June 28th. Has the adjustment been easy or difficult? How is the weight loss going? Any frustrations?
