Bizarre Post-Op Side Effects!?
ShawnaB replied to EweLewz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The cotton mouth thing I totally have. I can tell when I need to up my water intake. I was sleeved 2/11 -
Everyone is different. I've lost 18 pounds in 5 weeks.

Oh that sounds like heaven to me! Giving up pop has been the hardest thing with my sleeve.

I'm 5 weeks post op and can do toast. So far I've only tried those thin sandwich thins (100 calories for both sides, I can only eat 1 side).

how many pounds at 5 weeks?
ShawnaB replied to SunshineGirlG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on February 11 and have lost 18 pounds since surgery. I thought I would have lost more by now but what I've learned from this forum is everyone is different. Good luck on Monday :-) -

I've never heard the term before bit I love it and hope to reach there one day. Congrats on your hard work and determination, you are an inspiration! -
I was sleeved on Feb 11 also and I haven't lost anything for almost 2 weeks. I haven't been quiet my surgery and people have said they can see my body changing. I keep trying to tell myself that. Also I'll be off my blood pressure drugs in about 3 weeks. That was one if my reason I did the surgery. I figure this is just a bump in the road. We can all get through :-)

Ok ladies...personal question?
ShawnaB replied to Jmbaker24's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on birth control and got my period a week after surgery. I was told that your body is going thru so many changes that it can be normal. I had it for a week. If it would have been longer I was going to call my gynecologist. -
Puree week! Help
ShawnaB replied to jennaleigh1992's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

It will get better each day. The first day or two was hard because if the stomach pains but every day it got better.

Anyone that has been thru the puréed part of the diet have anything they ate they really like? Just looking for ideas. Thank you!

how much time off?
ShawnaB replied to slimmingdani's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went back to my desk job at the county exactly 2 weeks after surgery. The morning was ok as long as I had my protein shake right away. The afternoon I would get tired but I made it thru. Good luck, you can do this!!!! -
I want to start puree phase two days early.
ShawnaB replied to katikati's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm in the same boat. Was supposed to start Monday but started today. My reasoning is I want to be home, not at work, in case I get sick. I figure 2 days isn't so bad. and if I get sick, I'll go back to liquids -
Congratulations!! I can't wait to be able to do that!!

Anyone nauseous?
ShawnaB replied to MissTiffany203's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 2 weeks and had that problem today, had to leave work. I've convinced myself its because I didn't have enough protein. We'll see tomorrow :-) -
anyone get nauseous in the first month?
ShawnaB posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 2/11 and today I came home from work cuz I couldn't get over being nauseous. I took the meds my doctor gave me and that didn't help either. This is the second time its happened, first time I took a nap and woke up feeling better. Anyone experience this and know why it happens? -

ShawnaB replied to ShawnaB's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No seriously you did help. Its nice to hear when someone has the same as you do. I really was being sincere :-) -
Congrats Michelle! This forum is awesome when you are wondering what you're going thru. Here's to you healing fast :-)
-
it's so funny how each doctor is different. I was sleeved 2/11 and I have to do full liquids until 3 weeks before I start puréed. Is it sad I'm counting down the days to cream of wheat/malt o meal? lol
