MY TWO WEEK POST-OP APPT...
Well I finnally had my two week post -op appt. It was sheduled for Friday but my P.A was very ill so they had to reshedule. But anyway......I got there and they checked me over said I was doing good I have had very bad nausea and really no appetite to eat. They gave me a rx for Phenergan. I really hope it helps. Also I got a b-12 shot . Then I got weighed I officially weigh 290.5 . So from the day I got home I was 315.5 I have lost 25lbs then from my highest before I started I was 323. Some people have said they can see it in my face already. I dont however but time will tell. Also from my first measurements i was waist=56 hips=72 . Today it was 51/70 so there has been a change. Even with the severe nausea I am so happy I had this surgery. I was also told I need to get in more protein in but I cant stomache anything with any dairy I also tried adkins it was bad to. Any suggestions I am open to. I cant wait to see most of you all on the 13th...Love Ya All...Beth 
Hey Sweetie,
It's good to see you 
The weight is definately coming off! Congratulations!!
I feel for you with the nausea thing... uhg. It will get better but the days sure seem to drag by while you are waiting for that to pass. 
Protein for me is trial and error. I do know there are protein supplements that are juice based, you can get them at a health food store or online but I haven't tried them yet. Not being able to do dairy would suck for me, thats how I'm getting most of my protein in.
I wish I could be of more help, at 2 weeks out I was concentrating on staying hydrated.then around 4-5 weeks I started getting the protein in, with real food.
A big help for me has been to visit the board for my surgery month. Everyone there is going through about the same thing at the same time and it has been a great resource for me. If you haven't checked yours out try it.
You take care of you, Miss Beth. write me if I can help or if you ever need to talk.
Love, Barb
pssst.... stay hydrated, the protein will come.
