Hey there,
I went for my 2 week check up yesterday and I lost a told 30lbs.  Yes.  I see it in my face mostly double chin becoming single again. lol....

I told them about the pain on my left side and they told me it's normal from them moving everything around and the tools and such.  Asked if I had been taking ibuprofen (children Motrin)  I said no because of what I was told on the board that RNY's can't take it.  She was like yes you can and you can digest it and it will help the swelling go down and I will heal faster.  OK, that's good cause this pain hurts so bad sometime and I will be returning to work on Monday and I can't take liquid loratab at work (I can see it now, no on would get paid).  
I am on mushy food, scramble eggs, mash potatoes, mushy tuna fish etc.  I was told drink 4oz of protein for breakfast, and lunch and eat a mushy dinner and in between all that drink water or no sugar drinks.  I had mash potatoes for lunch yesterday 4 forks and I was done.  Dinner 3oz of tuna salad.   Did a family walk yesterday.  Now my side is hurting.  So glad when this thing stops.  I healing well and I'm almost done with class and getting ready to move the end of the month.  Then school starts for the kids...ugggggg  I think I'm going to have cream of chicken soup.  don't feel  like chewing today.   

I am light headed at times but I attribute that to the fact that I went from a few thousand calories to probably 500?

Oh Sorry to hear that.  Hopefully it doesn't stay that way.  I am not a milk drinker at all, but I have the Carnation breakfast w/milk once in a while and have done ok with that.  We use 2% milk usually and I had bought a small jug of 1% for me to use and have tried both since surgery and have done fine so far.  Crossing fingers....

I'm glad to hear you are doing so well. I am much better the 1st week or 2 after were awful. I was not able to return to work 2 days after surgery as I had planned which has thrown my budget into a tail spin. It was acutally a week and 4 days after before I could return. I had my post op yesterday I am down 22lbs from surgery 32 total. My g-tube stays until 7/20. I can not wait to get it out its hurts something awful at times. Im eating scrambled eggs with grits and some soups just chew chew and chew some more. had a tiny bit of my grandsons chicken nugget and did fine but got scared to do more. Glad all the junies are doing so well.
