Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 I had my surgery on 11/18/03. I went today and got the tube out and I feel much better! I have lost 11 pds from my preop visit on 11/13 to today! You would think with as little as I am taking in it would be more but I am cool with it. Here are my questions! I know EVERYONE and EVERY situation is different but it just helps to ask others experiences! Right now and until this coming saturday I am on full liquid diet! Taking in 80 grams of protein a day. 1.) How much weight did you loose the first week? Where you on liquids or just soft foods? 2.) Did you have trouble with diarreah? Im thinking its from being on liquids..Maybe the protein?? 3.) Starting this morning I have a terrible rumbly in my tummy. Kind of like gas but I don't ever pass it. Sounds like thunder in my belly and pretty loud! Anyone experience this? If so how long did it last? 4.) Did you have trouble when people at real foods around you when you couldnt have them? 5.) The first week or 2 how much should we be walking? I have been in pretty much pain till today with the tube so I have gotten in 1/4 mile the last 2 days. Hopefully tomorow I can get more! 6.) I am calling the dr tomorrow but just curious. At what stage can I try milk? just to give me something different to drink.... THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
