Topic: Finally had my post op!
I had my post op appt today with my surgeon. I got all my staples out! They were pulling and itching so bad it was wonderful to get them out! I got off my liquid diet and actually get to eat now. 
I start taking my calcium today. Also got a script for iron and b-12.
He said I was doing great. Officially down 18 lbs, but I had on a sweatshirt and jeans..
. So including the 8 lbs I gained that 26 lbs down in 2 weeks and 2 days!
I also bought some Isopure zero carb in Grape Frost and Pineapple/Orange/Banana.. YUM!! These are GREAT!
I was going to head home today but we are having freezing drizzle, so will be headed home 1st thing in the am. I can't wait to climb in my own bed again.
I am a very happy camper today!

Topic: RE: Am I the only regretfull one?
Thanks everyone. I know it will get better. I am starting to think maybe my pain is from a UTI or Kidney infection. I have my post op next Tuesday and hope to figure it out then. I have been out to the mall and Target with my kids a couple times and I feel better about being able to spend more time with them. My scale finally budged a bit today. So everything is falling into place hopefully and I will not feel the same soon.
Topic: RE: How long before you can exercise again??
I was in the gym as soon as I got released from the hospital. I do 1.5 miles of walking on the treadmill between 2.5-3.5 mph. I go on the 13th this month and am going to ask when I can start doing weights because I am dying to get into good shape.
Check with your doctor's office to be sure when and what kind of exercises to start.

Topic: RE: What stage are you in?
I had Lap RNY on 12/18.
Day 1 (19th) - Clear liquids
Week 1 - Liquids
Week 2 - Soft foods (cheese, eggs, yogart, cottage cheese)
Week 3 - Fish, chicken, turkey and beans
Week 6 - Beef and pork
I tried tuna at the start of week two and that didn't work so well so I am backing everything up one week.

Topic: RE: How long did your left side pain last?
I am the same way. Walking/jogging during the day gives me left sided cramps at night also.
it's kinda like I get cramping feel and in order to get rid of it. I have to do more walking weird huh.

Topic: RE: How long before you can exercise again??
I went back last Wednesday. she said nothing over 20lbs for the next two weeks and then increase to 30 after that.
I was working with a pt yesterday. Worked upper body and did some lower back stuff.
But she let me go to the gym the day I walked out of the hosp. And said very authoratively(sp) Don't over do it!. So I took her avice, kinda. I waited several days before I over did it.
Listen to what ur body is telling you and don't over do it.

Topic: RE: How long did your left side pain last?
I'm 2 weeks out and my pain comes and goes. I know if I over do it with the walking that I will be sore at night. But other than that I am practically pain free.
Meet the Surgeon Aug 1, 2011 .... hopefully the surgeons office is right and everything will go fast and I'll have surgery later this month.
