How much weight did you lose?
paula replied to Josephine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Your doing great, but everyone is right you have to drink a lot of water and get your protein in. I notice when I dont eat and drink my water I dont lose weight. But also keep track of your measurements cause if your not losing wieght your losing inches. Keep up the good work. I just started water aroebics hoping that will help me a lot. -
Hi Chandra sorry I havent been on in while been busy with my grandma shes not doing to good. Hope your doing great. I was at a stand still for a couple weeks but just hit 70lbs and joined water areobic class so hopefully that will help. I still dont eat that much order junior size or kid and cant even eat half of it. So I try and keep up with my protien drinks and vitimans the best I can do. talk at you later hope your doing great.

haven't seen mention of headaches
paula replied to Wisconsin_Gal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had headaches the first couple weeks the nurse said probally wasnt getting enough protein and fluids. I did have a hard time trying to get my proteins and fluids down. I also was diabetic and had high bp but no more. Just keep trying to hydrate your self and get your protein shakes in it does help. Good luck. -
Was wondering if anyone else has experienced nausea and throwing up. Im offically 1 month post op and still get sick about once aday. Im not that hungry so I have to make myself eat sometimes. Every time I try something different makes me sick especially eggs how ever there are cooked and they used to be my favorite. Would apprieciate any feedback.

Hi Shutterbug wasnt feeling so go the last week had a hard time keeping anything down but feeling better now. I also had bells palsy for the last 2 weeks but seems to be gettin better lucky i guess. My surgeon wont let me excercise except walk till 6 weeks out. Wonder why so different. I tried new foods but stomach not handling it very well couple tablespoons at the most and then have still take reglan was throwing up everyday, but back to the basics for a couple more weeks see if that helps. Hope your doing good and have a good day.

Only 2 lbs. the 2nd week?
paula replied to shutterbug's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was on the pre diet for 2weeks so I lost 24 before surgery and just lost the other 16 in the last week or so. I noticed the more fluids I get in the better. considering you didnt have the pre diet I believe your right in there. Dont worry it will pick up. Just try more fluids it helps also my doctor suggested Align its a probotic for the digestive system and I think its helping. Your fluid doesnt just have to be water either they told me anything pretty much as long as its 5 cals or less and sugar free, crystal light, propel, flavored waters, jello and sugarfree popsicles my favorite. so try and mix it up. -
Hi Shutterbug I just had my 2 week appt and they said not until after the sixth week can I do anything but walk. Was bummed wanted to start going to delta. So I walk been shopping and I have pedals that I use when at the computer. Good Luck.
