Extreme fatigue-is it my age?
Geminidrive replied to DebLW's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too was tired after the surgery, but at about 4 weeks out I was fine. Just give it a few more weeks and hopefully you wil be fine. -
Uppr, I'm sorry your mom's surgery didn't go well I'm sure it must be hard for her. Sometimes even family dont know our struggles. I'm glad you have the support of your sister and hubby.

Sorry you are going through this. Have your parents said why they are so against you having this surgery?

why no vitamens first 10 days after surgery
Geminidrive replied to chicomoni's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon said the same thing, he added it was going to be hard enough to focus on the liquids and Protein shakes one more thing would just be more difficult. -
Joint aches and pains!
Geminidrive replied to Mendy Valenzuela's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try a hot bath with Epsom salts to help relieve the joint pain. Heating pads may help relieve the pain in areas as well. I would also f/u with an orthopedic surgeon to be evaluted. -
Ideal weight question
Geminidrive replied to Unbesleevable's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, 180 might be an idea weight since you are tall. Just remember you can always adjust your weight goals as you start to lose the weight. Good luck! -
Wedding anniversary.
Geminidrive replied to ashiashley's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How about take the food out of the day? Do something fun, go to the movies, go purchase a piece of jewelry, go have a couples massage. Plan a date to celebrate your anniversary 6 months from now. This is just temporary. -

Geminidrive replied to karlafaye's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
it seems to be an emotional issue here on the board, if you search you will see. You can also google "drinking alcohol after weight loss surgery" -

Oh my......I would suggest you ask your surgeon. You are going to get a zillion different answers here and some will be quite emotional. -

Anyone who wants to know, I even put it on Facebook (J/k). Serously, I don't have any problems with anyone knowing I have had surgery, if I can help someone else I'm all for it. I don't worry about what others say or think about me.

Thanks for this post. I haven't had any issues and I'm 4 months out. It's all GOOD!!! 68lbs gone!

No pre-op diet required?
Geminidrive replied to SuchaPrettyFaceBUT's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wasn't required to do the Pre-op diet either. My surgeon said it is not necessary. I only had to do the Pre op laxative prep the day prior to surgery. Let me also mention, post op no pain, no gas and I have lost 68lbs since surgery 10/8. I also have not had any problems adjusting in any stage. -
Shrimp cocktail, it's always a best bet.

Drink the Same Day as Surgery?
Geminidrive replied to Khloé's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Several hours after surgery I was given water and protein jello, no problems. -

Im having a moment of regret
Geminidrive replied to ebonisekim's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No, I didn't, I guess I'm just in a different place in my life than others. Just remember this too shall pass for you, try to find something that will occupy your time. Start a new hobby to take the focus off of this for a while, sometimes that helps. -

Geminidrive replied to ebonisekim's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What's going on? Why is this so hard for you? Is it the food? -
I did. . I didn't find it difficult to adhere to the diet post op, I guess because I'm determined to make this work.
