Down 20 lbs since surgery!! 9/9 and NSV's
I am so excited. 20 lbs!!!!!!!!! 31 total including pre-op. NSV's so far!!!!!! Already had to go through closet and remove items that were to big!! And even better!! FIT INTO THINGS THAT have NOT in quite awhile!!!!!!!!
Issues, i know its only been 2 weeks and am on the full liquids/blended soft food stage. I have been able to drink more past 2 days, eating not so much, but i seem to have stalled at 230, i'll fluctuate .5 lbs. I am figuring this is normal as i am sure i was somewhat dehydrated since surgery?
Also, so far i can tolerate most things. I havent tried anything crazy or off the plan.
Also tried the YUMMO pumpkin cheesecake protein pudding recipe that was posted here. OMG that is 2 bites of heaven. Which these days its only 2 bites of anything!!!!!!!!! lol.
How long before i can exercise? What were you guys eating 2 weeks post-op?

Congrats on the loss
I am 3 weeks out and just posted about something similar. No matter what I eat it makes my stomach hurt, some days are better than others but there are days that I feel awful after eating a bowl of soup. My Dr had me introduce food a week after my wls (8/30) seems a little premature but he said to try things and if it didn't go down well...to wait a few wks and try again.
I haven't started exercising yet, my incision area still hurts.

I have been very lucky. Bm's everyday, very lil nausea. only discomfort i feel is if i eat to much or to fast, then i hurt. Also the incision sites are tender. My nut told me to do clears 10 -14 days to start adding things back as i could tolerate them. So far so good on that, i have had things like Mashed potaotes, soups, refreied beans, soft scrambled eggs. My new problem is i cannot STAND G2 or Powerade. Broth of any kind makes my whole body revolt at the thought. oh, i have been able to do protein shakes as well 2 to 4 ozs at a time.
Congrats on the weight loss! You are ahead of me! It took me 3 weeks to lose 20...but I guess I had that extra 10 lbs of fluid they pumped me full of in the hosptial (I gained 10 lbs in there)...so I guess if you count that lost 30 lol
I'm glad you are doing well. My little complication has had my attention for 2 weeks and I've been having a hard time eating...I figure my body is sort of in a starvation mode...I am doing better with it now.
Again, you are doing AWESOME!

It has been the past couple of days that i could eat a lil and get close to my fluids in. I have been stuck at 230 since monday but i think it is due mostly to being dehydrated and now i am getting some fluids back in my body. So i am staying the same. I am sorry the past 2 weeks have been so rough for you!!! My main thing now is some varied abdomianl pain, and i get tired quickly. No stamina at all. Are you experiencing this? When are you scheduled to go back to work?
