Congratulations! What a journey. Welcome to this support group. How's it been for you since 12/2? Any problems, big or small? Feel free to tell us more.

Thanks dianeseattle. So far so good. Definitly learned not to eat too fast... OOF talk about pain. Digestive wise it is going well. I have very little to complain there. Easily able to drink about 4 oz of water at a time. I had some complications with sutures coming loose internally at the trocar sights. Gave me severe pain for about 3 weeks. I was so frustrated that the Dr had no problem prescribing me pain meds for it, however his PA was terrified to give me something even after he wrote standing orders that if i needed it that i can have it. Thankfully the pain is over now. I'm still in shock at how little i can eat. I know we are told 2 ozs however one really never realizes that till they see at least 3 or 4 bites left on that little tea plate.

I hope the newcomers who've been sharing here for the last few weeks will read your post. It's so important to be prepared for the unexpected, while also expecting that everything will go just fine. Thanks, Sabrina.

Bill, how's your weight loss?

Since surgery about 5 or 6 pounds a week sometimes it stalls I weigh myself every Tuesday so I can give a better count tomorrow to I’m not good at math so I’ll have to look back at the other dates

Bill, how's your weight loss?

70 pounds altogether since March of last year . I lost 30 pounds of that weight since my surgery November 25 . Only losing about 4 pounds a week.Is that normal or should I be losing more ?

 

[dianeseattle]

it's normal for you. If you think it should be more, you know what to do: get out that journal & write down your food intake. But 30 pounds is cause for celebration, so hooray for you!
