2nd post-op appt!!!

Hi Fellow Julyers- Had my second appt today...I've lost 26 lbs since surgery 25 days ago, and 45 lbs since my highest weight pre-op!!WOOOHOOO!!!! The doc was very pleased, i actually was hoping for more. Got my diet advanced to all meats and fish, seafood, except for red meat and pork. I can have reall eggs, and cheese. I ate tuna salad for supper and was only able toe eat about 1.5 oz, and finally had the "FULL" feeling, I was so happy, knowing this tool really works. I was never sure cuz of all the liquids i guess. Also, to pass along...I had been experiencing a real bad mid abdominal discomfort all of my third week, had me really scared. The doc said it is very common, and is caused by a spasm of the new pouch, or even the remnant stomach. He said to chew TUMS(the calcium helps), or sip warm liquids, or even put a ho****er bottle on my tummy. Anyway, i'm happy to say now in my 4th week, it seems to be resolving. But just FYI! Just wanted to share my news!!! Hugs to all, Pam

Pam, Congratulations on your wonderful progress. You should be for joy and doing the happy Linda
