    Weight Gain?

    VegasMommaof1 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Anyone gaining weight, while following the diet religiously? I know my body is going through major changes, I see a difference in clothing. I'm wondering if my new scale is playing with my head. If I wake tomorrow and I'm up...my new scale is going 6feet under! Lol

    Banded on a Thursday...went to work 10 days later. Desk job...needed to get back on the work routine! Going back to work kept me busy.

    I'm a religious brusher, flosser & rinser! However this diet is giving me breath that offends me! Thought it was just me, however hubby got the nerve to tell me this morning. I'm mortified! Any suggestion or ideas on how I can fix this? Reading online it seems pretty common in a low carb (none for me) high protein diet.

    I Weight More Post-Op?

    VegasMommaof1 replied to motherlaura's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I threw my scale away today! Causes way too many mental issues with my brain wanting to see a lower number! Bye bye scale. I will weigh at drs and go by how clothes are fitting.

    Weight Gain?

    VegasMommaof1 replied to VegasMommaof1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I gained 10 pounds in 5 days! I'm convinced my scale is messing with my head. It's impossible!!! The one I have is digital...I might be buying an old school dial tomorrow! I can calibrate that bad boy.

    I Weight More Post-Op?

    VegasMommaof1 replied to motherlaura's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I gained 10 pounds in 36 hours, while nothing crossed my lips!!! It freaked me out. You will drop them, trust me. Hang in there...I got home on a Friday and the 10 pounds were gone in 5 days!

    I had this something terrible! Went to my doctor and he told me to stop drinking 1 hour before bedtime. I tried it, it worked 100%....none since! It's hard not to have water at the bedside, but worth it!

    Zinc W Copper

    VegasMommaof1 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    My only complaint with this entire thing, I can't take the zinc with copper! Dr has me on lots of vitamins. These are capsule and I stir in soup. It makes me gag!! Trying to see what you guys take for your zinc? Honesty I feel as though I've chewed on a metal pipe all day!!! Any suggestions?

    Protein Question

    VegasMommaof1 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    Hello all. I have a question on protein. I know that we need 60 grams of protein daily. Is there such a thing as getting to much? I'm going on day 8 post surgery and the Isopure drinks (has 40 grams grams of protein) are fantastic! I could sip on 2 all day along with my water. Any ideas if one could get to much protein & the side effects?

    Zinc With Copper

    VegasMommaof1 posted a topic in Fitness & Exercise

    I'm post op day 9. I'm keeping up with the daily chewable vitamins. The zinc with copper I got is in a capsule form....I take it apart and stir in anything. This is the most disgusting awful taste ever! I feel as though I've chewed on a metal pipe all day! Is there anything else out there that won't do this or am I just a big freak? .

    Post Op Day 2

    VegasMommaof1 replied to choosesuccess's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    How many calories should be consumed post op? Is there a certain number you should reach? Or is calories no longer the question, it's all about protein?

    Chest Discomfort

    VegasMommaof1 replied to alex77709's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Mine was 8/23 and the chest/lung pain hurt more then surgery! My dr gave me this breathing device that he told me to breathe into 10-15 times every hour. It says "airlife" on it...you breathe in and you must hold the the little blue ball between the indicators your entire breath. He said the gas will make you hurt but breathing exercises makes it feel better. Mine lasted about 3 days. Hope you feel better.
