What Did I Do To Myself ?
urbandecayno5 replied to Karrina-D's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I only threw up once after surgery and that was from a skinless costco chicken wing that was washed off. I usually end up sitting on the bathroom floor super nauseous. Sweaty and spit up alot(unable to throw up) if I over eat -
What Do You Tell People About Ypur Weightloss?
urbandecayno5 replied to dooter55's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery done in april and only my parents and brother knew of it. I didn't want the world knowing.. a few days ago I went to my aunts and uncles for a bbq. Of course I got the "what's wrong" question from them when I was eating so little. They looked really offended. So I was forced to come out with it. I just said I had it done and it was met with silence and ooh...really awkward I mean what do you say to that. My aunt was like "oh I thought you lost some weight I just didn't want to offend you." ...needless to say now my whole family will now know and watch me eat during family functions. -

Time Of The Month During Your Surgery?
urbandecayno5 replied to urbandecayno5's topic in The Gals' Room
I was in to much pain the first day to care about my period. The pad thing was annoying with the catheter but I got over it..its really not a huge deal just a minor annoyance to add to the unpleasant hospital stay -

Day 2 Really Bad Heartburn
urbandecayno5 replied to amusgrave's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used prilosec but after surgery it gave my hives and itching for some reason..so now I take zantac 300mg every morning and 150 mg in the afternoon...the 300mg I have a prescription for (generic version) but when i run out i take two150mg in the morning its the same thing. I get super bad heartburn. Works great -
That's what I ended up paying..I was desperate because I signed up on a Monday and the class started that Thursday. Im just glad I got something in my size

My issue came yesterday when I needed to buy scrubs for school...they aren't very flattering on fat people with big feet

The program im registering for is 12,900 plus I get pell grant, student loans..so id owe 7,900..im doing part time nights which is 13 months long rather then 7 months fulltime day. I got so freaked out when I saw the book size that I opted to do part time so I don't get overwhelmed..is the course work in your program intense as it looks?

So I went to my 1 month post op. My dr. Mentioned how fair my skin was(im beyond pale always was) and told me my vitamin d was a little low(after looking at my blood work) which is nothing new to me its always been low. He started suggesting I go walking in short shorts and sleeveless shirts. Told him that's not happening for obvious reasons. So he prescribed me vit d2 1.25mg once a week. Told me vit d supplements wont cut it. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff/ any side effects?

Flavored Waters - Buying In Bulk?
urbandecayno5 replied to bwalker6880's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I always got my drinks in bulk from costco. Its the only place I really find all the drinks in mass amount. I drink this stuff called ecodrink. Its a multivitamin drink comes in berry and orange(packets). It comes with a 16oz bottle. Its really good but strong flavor if not diluted(I refill it 4 times and split 1 packet in quarters) so I get 64oz and its easy to transport Not sure about ordering in bulk online -
Overheating
urbandecayno5 replied to urbandecayno5's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Its amazing how little makes me exhausted and im 5/6 weeks out -
Today I decided to garden. Its about 80 degrees out not horrible. I pulled some weeds(not many) then went inside drenched in sweat. Had something to drink and threw that up. I felt like passing out so I sat in an ice cold bath and started to feel better. Went back out 2 hours for 15 mins and planted 3 plants/put down some mulch and same thing happened. Does this happen to anyone?..im not sure if im not hydrated or what but my face is still red and warm(not sunburn) an hour later

I have 5..one in the center below bra line , 2 on left side(mid stomach),one on right and one on the rim of my belly button

Sound Off On Post Op Appetite
urbandecayno5 replied to feszyk's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Im a month or so out and I do get hungry but a 1/2 cup or something small like that fills me up. If I don't drink enough fluids I get hungry faster. The head hunger is the worst part right now
