29 Yo, 3 Kids, Can't Loose Weight After 5 Years of Last Pregnancy - Houston, TX

I had my 2 week post op yesterday. Everything went good. I am finally feeling better! The first week was rough. I had excruciating pain from my internal stitches I guess ripping for about 4 days anytime I would get up it felt like someone was pulling my insides apart. I am finally able to eat purees but because my stomach is so tight still I am only getting down about 40 gms of protein a day and not enough fluids so I need to try to up my intake. I also bought Genepro medical grade protein powder from amazon and been putting that in my foods everychance I get, its not too bad. I am pleased to say I am down 4 BMI! Its been officially a month since I started my preop diet and between the preop and post op I am down 24 lbs. I also got the all clear to start swimming and going to the gym. Hope to update you with some pics pretty soon. :)

Stayed overnight in the Hospital on Wednesday but they sent me home on Thursday. Once they gave me pain medicine my blood pressure dropped. I've been walking around a taking sips of water often. But there is no way I'm near the 48-64 oz of fluids they recommend. I tried chicken broth, jello, sf popsicles but nothing is agreeing with me. As soon as I eat something my stomach hurts. Today I tried some of the GNC lean 25 protein shakes and I drank about an ounce and that was it. I'm worried about getting dehydrated since I'm not getting fluids down like I should. I've also still been in quite a bit of pain, although I have been walking around. I have also taken gas-x and milk of magnesia (yuck) to try to get rid of some of the gas pain and the feeling of constipation (TMI I know). I'm ready to start feeling normal again, how long did it take you to start feeling better? And how do I get some fluids down without feeling like crap?

Had surgery today at about 12. Staying over night but hoping for 2 if pain does subside. My blood pressure is getting higher now it's 150/93, so I might need medicine to get it under control. When I woke up in the recovery room I didn't know we're I was but I was in pain and I screamed at them to cancel the surgery. The nursed laughed and says oh sweetie it's already done. ????????
