Pain Lower Right Side Back
ljperez replied to ljperez's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It did get better. I drank 2 16oz this morning and I'm on my 3rd. I hope it doesn't come back. I did go back to work yesterday for the first time maybe I didn't drink as much as I usually do. I don't have any pain at all. thanks for asking. -
What To Say About Swift Weight Loss To Acquaintances
ljperez replied to Holly5.3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went back to work yesterday and I was so worried about it. I only told my boss and my close co-worker. I work in an office with about 25 people. Everyone was so happy to see me and asked how I was feeling but not one person asked what I had done. I got off easy. They did notice the weight loss so maybe they figured it out. Either way I'm just saying I feel better and thanks for your concern and leave it at that. I did decide that if anyone asked what was wrong I will say because rumors start but I'll wait until they ask. Gives everyone something to talk about for a while. -

H-Pylori For The 2Nd Time :(
ljperez replied to babyiwantu's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hope this round takes care if it for you. It would be a shame if they don't do it. Check around your area, if there is another program. I wish you the best. -
H-Pylori For The 2Nd Time :(
ljperez replied to babyiwantu's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not sure but I tested positive then took.the antibiotics and tested positive again they just said it was not a problem. They made me take the antibiotics right up till the day of surgery and gave me more in my iv. I hope that killed it. I was nervous too but what's done is done. I hope I don't have problems in the future. I haven't been re- tested since surgery 9/5 so I guess they aren't concerned. -

September Was Your Progress?
ljperez replied to jentheyo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
DOS 242 Sugery day 9/5 Just came back from my check up 215. I'll take that. Now I can eat food. Let's see what happens. -
I'm not sure what's going on. I haven't had any gas or heart burn to speak of since surgery. I do take a prilosec every morning. The past 2 days I feel like my stomach is cramping I'm always Freaking out a bit, worried about leaks. I've been working in my yard and painting an extra apartment we have. I hope I didn't do to much. I've been on soft food. I have my 1 month check up tomorrow ill ask the Dr. I was just wondering if any felt this 4 weeks out and why? Also I wasn't able to take the gallbladder medication because I was allergic to it. What does gallbladder pain feel like? I'm.really stressing.

Oops...6 Months Post Op And Pregnant!
ljperez replied to Nadz's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
Was it the mirena iud? I have that. It's my second one. My youngest is 13 and I'm 41. Do not want to get pregnant I'm done having children. -
Well, I was sleeved 9/5 all in all its been fine physically. Mentally its been tough. I've been at the dreaded 3 week stall but last night I got out of the shower and was able to wrap the towel around myself and it closed. I also didn't have to use my clothes to cover my butt. The towel doubled over. Yippee for me. I did get on the scale and I'm still only down 22lbs but I know now about those inches. It's true pre sleevers the inches do come off without the lbs. I didn't believe it but I'm still the same weight as last week but the towel didn't fit then.

I have bcbs in Boston. I was approved 2 weeks after they submitted the paperwork.

May Have To Cancel My Oct 5Th Date
ljperez replied to valdostaGA's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was in the same boat. No support from the family. Nobody could understand why I was being so selfish. I posted here and got a lot of support. We can be your support. I went to the hospital on my own and asked that no one come to see me. Well they did come after I was in my room and my husband actually came everyday to see me. My neighbor said he was almost in tears when she asked how I was doing. It might be that your husband is scared. Do it do it do it. We are here for you. -
How many can we eat in a day? I'm 3 weeks out not eating hardly any but just wanted to make sure I don't go to high.

I'm 3 weeks out but I'm so down. I get my liquids. Protein is hard I'm averaging 50 on Proteins with usually no more than 550 calories. Can't seem to get the protein in with food. I have to end up drinking a Protein shake. I thought it was because I wasn't regular on my bm's. Ive fixed that and I still feel the same way. I just have no energy and I'm really depressed. Before sugery I never took a break and had so much energy. I keep reading how everyone has so much energy and I have to take a nap if I do to much in the day. The Dr cleared me to workout but I've only been on a couple of walks. Before I used to walk 5 miles a day in 34 minutes that was even the morning of surgery. Now nothing even close. I'm getting more and more down. What can I do? I've lost 20 lb since surgery but I feel like its all of my muscle that I worked hard to build up.
