I'm finally feeling back to my old self but in a better way. Everything thing went well. I had a few day's I thought my insides were being ripped out but of course that passed. Can finally get a full protein drink and half a bottle of water in. I will work on getting more water down. My problem is I can't get a snack in. I have 1 oz of hot cereal for breakfast, 2 oz of soup for lunch and dinner and that fill's me. I just don't want anything else. I'm not sick or hurting from eating just don't want it. I'm worried when I start the pureed and it's bulkier food I wont get enough in me. I am down 25 pounds since the start of opti

Congrats on the 27 pounds. I didn't know 25 pounds could make such a difference. I bought a coat last winter that was skin tight. Loved it bought it couldn't wear it. lol But WOW it fits.

Hi Joeyanne, my surgery was the week before yours with Dr Sohi. I did have some complications, but am finally now feeling human again. Some little pains still (upper left side if I'm looking down at my own body). I agree sometimes it feels like too much food and water and protein drinks. Feel like my life is centred around eating! I think that's fairly normal. I just started pureed food yesterday and I find I need to eat more slowly again that with the full fluids or else I can feel the food. Congrats on your 25 lbs. I too have lost 25 at this point. I think you live in York Region, right? You should come to the next support group meeting - they usually post it on this site.

I have that same pain same spot. Although I feel MUCH better I'm still very weak. I am looking forward to pureed. I guess even a little bit in will be a god send after all the liquids. Nice to know that I'm on track with the weight loss. Congrats to you also. I would love to come to the meetings and will look for the next posting on it.
