2 Weeks Post Op

Well it has been two weeks tomorrow since my surgery.  Things have been going well since the gas seems to be gone.  I have pain on the left side between  2 incisions but the Dr said it was due to nerve damage.  Bending to the left is a problem but there are always ways around that.  I have been eating well I think.  Trying to get all my protein seems to be the hardest thing. I just forget.  Also drinking enough water and other fluids seems to be a challenge as well.  I just need to work harder on it.  I have lost a total of 14 pounds since the surgery.  I am walking and and up to 3.5 miles a day and it is gong well.  I'm looking forward to being under 270 by the end of the week.  

That's great you are doing so well...........I am also 2 weeks out today.  It's nice to hear another person is doing well with little complications I was beginning to think I was a fluke LOL.  I have had little complications and have been able to get all my 64oz of fluid in and the protein is easy for me because I am on protein drinks the Dr's office sells. 

Well good luck

i will be two week on Wed and i guess i am another fluke cuz all is fine, recovery was wonderful it's hard to believe i even had surgery, i am preparing foods for my 4 weeks of pureed stage, i will be cooking and freezing them for when i return to work, i baked a ricotta, and i can't believe it, it turned really good

Here is another Fluke person �I don't get hungry much & have to make myself drink my water which is good & lots of energy and always keeping busy, I need to make myself eat my meals and all goes good, I am almost�1 mo. out on 5-26, �I lost 24 or 25 lbs 8 lbs was prior to WLS so happy with results so far!� I am ready for the next step of foods still have another wk b4 seeing the Dr.� Keep up the great work!!!�� already can sleep better less pressure on chest & breath better & less joint pain Woooo Waaaaaa!�� already down almost 2 sizes :0)

well count me in too...i will be a month out on 5/26 i am down 30 pounds and loving every minute of it!!! i am getting in my protein and water but i think i might have to add a shake in again just in case. i couldn't take another one so i made sure i got in from food. i go back to the NUT on 6/3 i think i move to stage 4 then too.. looking forward to trying other foods.

None of you are flukes..lol. Sounds like things are about normal!
I had that pain between incision sites too. I called it my invsable boo boo. Felt like a bad bruise, but was deeper and not visable. My Dr told me it was due to the abdominal wall being stretched out so far to do the surgery, that it is actually muscle pain. The muscle got bruised and stretched and it took me several months for it to go away completely.

Congratulations to all of you - glad things are going so well! Getting all your protein and fluids in does get easier as time goes by, although I'm still drinking shakes because I have a hard time with meat and need that extra protein!

What a fine group of losers. Glad to hear noneventful stories pop up too. Let's keep losing together. Hugs
