I am 6 weeks out and I am trying to walk for 30 minutes a day and I do light weight work every other day.  But even at 6 weeks post op I still am tired after a day where I do both.  It is hard.

I am a little over two weeks out and getting back to my workout regimen that I was on pre-op. My surgeon wants me exercising as soon as possible! I started yoga last week and this week I added Zumba back in. I'm finding more and more that I have to take it slow.

What are you doing for exercise and how often? Are you finding it easy to workout and getting back into a routine?

I think I've had about 1/2 dozen stuck episodes already, it hurts like hell!  Out of curiousity, did you make yourself throw up or just wait for it to happen on its own?  I've tried waiting, and then can't deal with the pain so I make myself. It's seriously the worst feeling ever, and I hate not knowing what's going to be a problem.  I had pork tenderloin w/ gravy on Christmas, pureed. It went down fine. Re-heated it the next day, stuck!  Amy is right, a TINY sip of pop helped me get up my first stuck food, now if I could keep my DH from drinking the "emergency" pop of mine that I keep in the fridge.  I hope you don't encounter another episode for a VERY long time.

This first month is definitely very emotional. First we've been cut off from food. And we've undergone major surgery. Everything is messed up.

Let your body continue to recover and do it's thing. You keep up your end of the deal and everything will be fine. Soon enough you'll be shouting from the rooftops that you've lost 100 pounds!

Just hang in there!!!

Unjury unflavored and Any Whey are going to help you at this point the most.
However, you can puree just about any meat when you stop and think about it. Add some sauce or broth to your blender and the cooked meat and give it a whirl. You are better off to get protein from a cut of meat, but the supplements are there to help if you can't.

While on the puree'd stage, I would also blend up beef soups and such. Try adding a scoop of unflavored powder to that. I've also heard you can do "double milk" (reg. milk and add milk powder) but I personally didn't require that so maybe another can give you advice on that.

Good luck - remember that protein is vital to your health now! Keep in mind your heart is a muscle and your muscles need protein. This isn't an option - you have to schedule the eating and get it in.
