Im now 11 days post-op and I think things are going ok, most days Im able to get in all my protein and fluids, there have been a few days where Ive been a little short, Ive found that my restriction is not the same every day, I may be able to get 1/2c of protein one day but only 1/4 the next. but Im not pushing it. my surgical wounds are all healed I still have a little burning from one on my left side, but they look good. Ive lost 18lbs since surgery, that's amazing to me and Ive lost way more inches than that, Im still on the full liquid diet which thankfully for my Dr includes cottage cheese I cant imagine doing this with out cottage cheese. for the most part I feel good Im not hungry the energy I could use some help with, but Im now on a multivit with iron, maybe that will help. Im soooooo thankful that by accident I found OH I truly could not have done this with out you guys. thanks for all the help!!

I'm Still a work in progress, I wont give up the quest to reclaim my life, I will be whole again someday!

Congratsssssssssss

Glad you are doing so good. I am having alot of pain on my left side where the tummy came out. I thought it would of subsided by now but it almost feels like it is getting worse and I'm starting to feel a lil bit of pain on my right. Ughhhh my legs hurt and I dont know what to think of that either whether blood clots or I'm being paranoid lol Hopefully I'll start feeling better I might go to hospital today to ease my mind that nothing is wrong. Good luck and continued success. Kerry

sorry Kerry you are having problems, are you drinking? walking? fluid intake can affect blood clots, less fluid makes the blood sticky, if you think you have a blood clot yes you need to be seen. please take care and keep us updated......hugs

sounds like your right on track.
Continue to work on your water as your aware of.
I fall short sometimes too.. But it is very important
to get your fluids in especially in the beginning.
I know you know this... this is just a reminder.
I am soooOooo happy to hear how wonderful your doing!

Good morning! I am 10 days post-op and feel about the same as you. Some days I can get in more than others..although I will say that I have YET to get in all of my protein OR all of my water. It is getting a bit easier day by day, but still so hard to do. My incisions look good too..and like you have a bit of soreness/burning with the biggest incision still. I am never hungry, but MAN I do for some reason still have lots of head hunger. I just crave real food! As of this morning, I am down 15lbs since surgery..so exciting to do that in 10 days! My surgeon allows cottage cheese too..that and cream of wheat have been my lifesavers!! I hope all continues to go well for you..happy losing!!!!!!!!

I have trouble with head hunger too smells are the worst for me. 15 lbs thats great!!! you are on your way, keep trying to get that protein and fluid in, Im hoping it gets easier for you......hugs Connie
