Not mine, but I know everyone has diff sizes. Are you tall?

I think it also probably depends on how much belly fat you have pulling on everything.

I googled the heck out of this before posting because I don't want to be the woman that fills the post op forum up with all of her concerns, but I didn't find much. Some said low potassium and other non alarming things. I woke up feeling weird this morning. Just like my had wasn't going to feel good. Got up and went into the living room and my heart felt like it was pounding. I wouldn't describe my chest as tight and I'm not having difficulty breathing. It's worse around my young children who are stressful and loud. Almost like an anxiety attack only slightly worse. I come to lay down in my room and focus on breathing and it gets better. My fingers and feet are tingling though, almost as of they aren't getting enough blood. DANG I don't want to go back to a hospital. What do you think? It doesn't seem to fit leak descriptions or PE descriptions but I'm taking it easy today and really watching it.

Here are the symptoms of hypoglycemia. Fits the bill. Tomorrow I'm going to start a "juice feast" not to be confused w a fast.(at home, in my juicer with lots of dark leafy greens) I believe god made food can heal me better and go e me more energy than man made foods. And plant Protein is more easily absorbed than met protein anyway, so I believe we need less of it. I'm going to see how I feel on this for 3 days. Tomorrow if I sill have these symptoms and still feel worried, I'll er it.

Dr. Says probably hypoglycemia. Says to make sire that what I'm drinking is NOT sugar free and to have an oz of OJ when this comes in. Says if it doesn't fix it, I please go to the er and keep him updated. Thanks for the love, all. I don't have oj just yet, but have dh getting some. I had bought tiny 4 oz boxes of fruit punch FOR hypoglycemia an it did seem to help. Time will tell. UNFORTUNATELY, it did not cute my grouchies. Lol Mama wants a cookie too guys. Or tuna salad even. Can't WAIT for purées.

Looks like it might be a reaction to the lanzoprozole.(ppi) I didnt take it as directed. I won't take any for a few days and see if the symptoms go away. Oh Amanda, I forgot that about the unsweetened almond milk having so much more calcium. Maybe I'll get to the store today and get some. This skim milk is for the birds!! I'm getting about 45 oz of fluids and I've been watching my urine and its never gotten dark. That's good, right? I'm pretty sure I can't squeeze more in.

At only a week out, you think? I can work on this skim milk I have. I haven't had any yet. I don't care for it, would much rather 2%. I have vit d/ calcium chews bit I think I should wait til a bit further out to take those, they are chewy like cold tootsie rolls. I'll go make a shake w the milk and force it down. It seems to have chilled a bit but I'm afraid I go out where the children are. "/

Being post op is a little bit scary. I'm praying a lot and trying not to make mountains out of mole hills but its hard.

I'll drink one slower today. Do you guys know if nuking the chocolate for 30 seconds could "kill" the Protein? I like my warm chocolate.

Where can I get these?

I think all Protein powders are nasty in Water. Lol That wasn't helpful. What about almond milk? I don't know a hong about a colonoscopy tho.

I read on another "cold" thread here on vst that grehlin has been linked to body temp regulation. Makes sense.

Glad you feel so great! That's a lot of broth, go uou! I only got like 10 sips in at a time then it would go cold. Ew. Lol You'll notice that each batch of broth will taste different. Mu fave was the super salty kind. Don't judge me. Lol Anyway, it's all better from now!

Yeah, some drs don't. I'm glad mine does.

In dr. Alvarez' book, he describes our sleeves like anew babies tummy. Know how you have to burp a baby after every oz or so so they don't get painful gas. So do we. Makes sense. I just posted something Monday when I was 3 days out called "sip BURRRRP" or something along those lines. Lol

Glad all went well! I love dr. Garcia and am very thankful to him. I love that he's "real" and not cocky like most us surgeons and that he genuinely cares about all if us.

You all made a great choice!

I'm 5 days out and I have this feeling when I breathe. It's not unbearable but very bothersome. You know how sometimes you get that feeling in your long and you have to breathe real deep to make it go away? That's how it feels, only I don't think this is my lungs. What could this be? I read that left rob pain can be a ruptured or enlarged spleen. Surely not!

So who were u? Lol

If your spirometer is put together correctly. Make see the hose is in the "patient side" hole. I sucked like crazy on that dang thing and couldn't make that ball move. Til I showed the nurse that it said "patient side" on it. Sigh.

My paperwork said 40 mg Prevacid but dh couldn't find it. this is all they had, 15 mg 24 hour release stuff. It's ok right? I'm 5 days out, if it matters. I'm posting a pic but sometimes they don't show up.
