Hi! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. It has been 4 months since my surgery and I am doing well. I have lost a total of 72 pounds since February of this year. I have lost 42 pounds since my surgery. I am currently down 2 pants and 2 shirt sizes and feel so much better. I finally gave away my bigger sweatshirts and donated many pairs of pants to Good Will.
I have had some difficulty meeting the 80grams of protein, but I know I am getting over 60grams for sure. I get plenty of liquids in during the day having water, protein water, protein drinks, diet juices, and broth that I add protein powder to. I have had some trouble with dumping syndrome due to some foods don't agree with me. I have lost my sense of taste for certain foods, and found I cannot eat a lot of bread. I have to cut the crust off and if I have a burger, I can only eat half of it if I eat the bun. I can't eat much of anything with a lot of sugar. Dumping Syndrome!!! I get the runs!
I fell in my living room a couple of weeks ago, and hurt my ribs, after tripping over my dogs doggie steps. Hurt my ribs! Been trying to do some exercises in bed, but I am limited right now until I start feeling better.
I have seen my surgeon as scheduled, and she is very happy with my results. My kidney doctor did put me on Potassium as it was low when I was tested about a week later.
