    WOW Hello Restriction Pain

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

    Your body will produce excessive mucous to try to get stuck food down. But all it does is increase the pressure and you vomit slime. Alot of it. Everytime it's happened to me I've ended up with Dumping like symptoms 30 mins later.

    Oops hit send before I was done... Doctor worried I would continue with rapid loss and end up losing hair and get lots of saggy skin. He has had good results with patients who loose slower than faster. My problem is I'm in a stall, and I'm ready to get back to loosing something.

    My metabolism kicked in two weeks preop and I started dropping weight rapidly . BMI was 35.1 on surgery approval date. Only allowed one day of protein shakes preop (thankfully).

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

    Going back to work and having lots of energy!!! Cleaning out my closet of 24's and 22's and giving to people who need them. Saving a ton of money on food!!! Getting my EOB from insurance and seeing they actually paid for what they said they would!!!

    Sleeved 12/10 & in a HUGE STALL. Actually Gained 1 1/2 lbs. Tried walking a few laps at the gym even though dr said not to. ( he thought I would loose too fast) and of course I run into my doctor. Wanted to lift weights as my doctor wants me to, but one of my bosses was lifting weights and I'm on lifting restrictions at work, so I just went home : ( Not my week.

    I agree feeling food in your stomach isn't fun, nor is all the awful sounds my stomach makes!!! Wondering what my students who have me after lunch are going to say when my stomach starts guggling!!

    Congrats on the weight loss! Size 12?? Wow wish I could just get out of plus sizes!!! It's hard to drink. I know I'm dehydrated too. Hang in there, you are doing great! Oh and happy birthday; )

    any new orleans ladies?

    gingerRN replied to dizzneygirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I was sleeved just two days before you. My digestive track is a mess! When I eat I never know what's going to happen. The only thing I can count on is horrible sounds like my stomach is fussing about what I just ate. I'm down 20 lbs.

    I was having trouble waking up this morning. Having dreams I couldn't move. When I finally woke up I was really weak. Took my blood pressure and it was 87/43. The more I moved around the higher it went. Was back to normal in a few minutes. Not on pain meds. Guess I will be stopping my bp meds soon. Hate that because they are also a migraine preventative. Anyone else have this happen? Scary

    What a great idea celebrate the one year anniversary! That gives me something fun to think about plan over the next eleven plus months. I'm thinking a shopping trip to NYC!!!

    Almost out of the 200's!

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

    I am in the EXACT same place . Stalling at 202, my dream was to be 199 by New Years. I'm just avoiding the scale today because I know I'll be disappointed. Wait... I weigh dressed at the gym, maybe naked I AM 199 !!!! Lol. Best of luck to you.

    Low blood pressure scare

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

    I hate taking medication, and that was one of the reasons I wanted the sleeve. I always get side effects. I was already working with my doctors to wean off it. I look forward to only taking vitamins soon!!!

    Low blood pressure scare

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

    That's what was weird... It was clear and more of it than usual this morning. It's been darker and smaller amts.

    Dumping is usually with sugar. Both times I was eating soft foods out with family and I do not know what was in the veggies or beans.. But boy did they make me quite ill!!! Eating only food I cook for a while.
  23. gingerRN
    Eating does suck at times. Yesterday we went to Austin for a shopping trip. Normally eating out is fun. But not now. Got sick with the first meal, dumping syndrome soon as we got to the mall, then felt weak for hours. I'm sure it will get better, easier?!? I love to travel. I don't want this to slow me down.
  24. gingerRN
    Don't like the horror stories. Good reminder for us to be careful, but they are really scaring the pre op patients!!!
  25. gingerRN
    Good to hear from everyone. I wish I could workout. Prior to surgery I was doing a 5K training app. Loved it & miss the runners high. But it was causing my wt to drop too fast so my doctor said NO cardio for 6 months. Just weight training.
