3 weeks out

Hi all, I had surgery with my hero, Dr. Norh, on Sept. 10. It was an open surgery and all has gone well. I am down 27 lbs so I very happy about that. I am having so aches and pains but nothing unreal. Getting in all the water and protein shakes is HARDDDDDDDDDDD! I just doing the best I can. Is there anyone else newly post op that would like to chat. Shelley

Hi Shelley, I am 10 days post op, lap gastric bypass by Dr. Birch in edmonton. I would love to chat with you. I am still on liquids and sick to death of it. I want meat! I can't stand the bene protein s I have given up. I am just drinking carnation breakfast. I seem to be ok with my fluids. I have an 18 ounce bottle that I carry everywhere full of crystal light. My prob is that I tend to drink too fast and take too big of sips. What are you drinking for protein shakes? It is amazing that you are down 27 pounds so far! I am down 10. Are you able to eat most foods? So far I can't seem to tolerate regualr or sugar free jello, apple juice and chocolate milk is so-so. I am also finding that my taste is affected. I am hoping it is the anesthetic still. Didi or do you have these probs? Tanya
