watchout4thebiggurl replied to sallythatgirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sleeved June 17th and down 40lbs, 25 since surgery. I happy for my loss but I'm starting to get worried about this stall that I have been in for the last 3weeks? Advice on how to break the dreaded stall is welcome! -

Ever since surgery I feel my tonsils. What the heck?!

I had the same feeling a few weeks after surgery. It was thrush. Of course I had a sore throat and white spots in my throat too. -

Here are my stats: HW-295 SW-283 on 6-17-13 CW: 256 I Just weighed myself and I gained 3lbs in the last 3 days after being stalled for a while. Is none else starting to experience this? Are there typical weeks for stalls? I think I remember hearing something about stalling around 3-6 weeks. -

Benedryl didn't help. I went to my PCP and she ended up giving me an antifungal cream with a steroid. It worked! -

JUNE 2013 Sleevers?
watchout4thebiggurl replied to Alimac-2007's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on June 17th and lost a total 40 lbs, 15lbs from my pre-op diet. I'm having trouble meeting my protein requirements and getting a good routine down. I find that sleeping let on the weekends totally throw me off and then I stay up late trying to meet my requirements. In fact, I'm up now trying to finish a protein drink! -

I have a red rash on my stomach along where I injected my lovenox (blood thinner) shots. My doctor had me do self injections for two weeks after surgery. Just as I was finishing my last day of injection, a red splotch appeared, similar to hives. Then it appeared on the other side of my stomach two days later. Anyone ever have this? I tried hydrocortisone and drinking benedryll but it didn't help. I called my doctors office yesterday and I'm waiting for a call back. The rash/hives are super itchy! -

The bad thing about hoing back to work
watchout4thebiggurl posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Is that it's harder to pass gas when you need too! I have been walking and taking gas ex strips but it is getting harder and harder to let it rip! I have been passing gas in my office and even going to the bathroom on the questionable gas. Sitting in position seems to help. But right now my diaphragm and torso muscle are extremely sore from trying to squeeze one out! It even hurts when I take a deep breathe. I just finished walking an exhausting mile and I'm laying "in position" with a heating pad. Any ideas you all have are welcome! -

New Sleeve! 6-17-13
watchout4thebiggurl replied to AutismMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on the 17 th too! Yesterday was pretty bad with all the gas in my torso. I work thinking "what the hell did I do?" I think I actually told the PAC nurse "this is done B***sh**. I'm slightly ashamed of myself today but I'm going to blame in on the narcotics! Today I'm feeling better. How are you guys doing? -
Day 2 post up

This last combo of nausea and pain medicine worked wonders! Not sure of the name....wait.. I think it's phenergon. Now I have a patch behind my ear. I hope that it works just as well.
