1-2 Weeks Out......How Do You Feel Today?

Hi All, I am 2weeks and 3 days out. I was doing great until last week when I got the left side pain. It has been terrible. Can't sit, lay, sleep nothing to get comfort. My wonderful doctor told me it would just go away and this morning it is gone and I feel great again. Went to the doctor Monday for the pain and I had lost 20lbs since my surgery and I was advanced to pureed. YEA YEA Thanks for asking. I want to kill my family with all this Halloween Candy in the house. I haven't touched a piece but I hate the sound of them rumbling in the bag.

Hi Jane! UGH! I hope I dont get that left side pain. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! on your weight loss!! willby PS: Ummmm.....if you dont have any plans for that leftover Halloween candy..............................

I'm 4 weeks out, and still having "off" days, though not frequently. I have felt more better most of the time. Isopure, ICK, no way, hate the stuff, gag me. Sugarfree jello is better if you don't buy Jello brand.....funny, huh? You are definitely not alone. Cyndi

Hi Cyndi! Good to hear that the 'good" days outweigh the "off" days. I'll have to try some other brand of SF gelatin besides Jello......cuz I KNOW what that tastes like (slimey brains with liver sauce) Thanks for letting me know that I am not alone!! willby

I am 1 week and 2 days out. I was sick of jello by day 3 and went to soft foods. I have been living on cottage cheese with no sugar added pear juice, applesauce, popcicles but no more JELLO I am feeling pretty good though. It is getting better day by day. As of last Friday I was not a very good camper but things are MUCH better now. Me and hubby are going walking tonite around the neighborhood I feel I am doing very well. Nalani

Nalani, If i wasnt so scared......I would try something different too Glad to hear that youre doing so well! Take care willby

Hi Willby, I'm 15 days post-op and feeling ok, just have a bit of a tummyache. I get to eat real food tomorrow for the 1st time since 10-7-05. I can finally go back to Curves and bowling. I saw the doctor today and asked him if I could still do the liquid diet as I said i'm scared to eat real food again fearing that I will gain back the 32.5lbs i've lost. He said just eat what I can, not to become someone who is exercise crazy or diet crazy. I know you can and will do it. We all will do it with you too. Best of Luck, Lisa Jacobs

wow! Lisa, That weight loss is pretty incredible! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I have only been on clear liquids for 2 weeks.........so I feel for ya!! Keep up the good work!!!! willby

CELIA, If you find someone to kill you....could you send them to my house to kill me?? I WANT FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! weakwillby
