Side Effects of Surgery and Supplementation
shedevil posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I am sitting here at 5 months losing 52 lbs. I am happy. I take the multi Vitamins,Calcium,d3 and b12 required. But I also take Biotin, cranberry, probiotic and a anti-inflammatory (which spell check won't let me add). I visited with my aunt last weekend and she was amazed at my face. I had Bells Palsy 7 years ago. I was left with one side drooping and hearing loss. A month prior to that I had sudden hearing loss syndrome. So between both of those, I have pretty moderate hearing loss. I have tried everything they told me to do but hearing and droopiness only got a little better. Also went in for another hearing assessment a week ago. He told me that I was hearing better. Solo I account all of this to having my surgery and taking supplements. Quite a nice side effect I think. -

Recommendations for stomach and thighs

Plank ing not planning. Stupid auto correct.

Try planning. I haven't done it myself yet but it is supposed to help a lot of body parts firm up. And walk around your house. My dog thinks I am nuts when I walk in place. She barks at me.

How Long til Hunger Nerve comes back?
shedevil replied to JessO221's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told there are 2 places that give the hunger hormone. One that is cut out from stomach ..the other in your intestines. -
I felt like they had after taste. I take twin lab bariatric support chewable from the vitamin Shoppe.

Having a hard day...
shedevil replied to 140icandoit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is so weird how different our des can be. I was on liquid for 4 days and then we were allowed Turkey, chicken, footage cheese, yogurt, refried beans. At one week we could have veggies and fruits..no skin. I asked my surgeon why the difference. He said there is no proof that going through all the stages makes any difference. He said that they wanted us to get on with our lives. I was nervous but have lost 24 lbs since 8/30. -
5 weeks post-op not losing
shedevil replied to fairytailpuppies's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
How much have you lost? I was sleeved August 30th and have lost 23.5 lbs. Not as fast as some but good for me. -
I had my surgery at Scottsdale Healthcare Shea. They were wonderful. Surgery date was 8/30

I geel like I can eat too much...opinions
shedevil replied to 1sunnuri's topic in Food and Nutrition
It doesn't sound like you are getting enough protein or water. I drink at least 64 oz of water a day and have at least 70 grams of protein. -
I had one too. However mine could not be totally fixed. I'm part of the 5% of people who have some vein in the way..

I was originally to have surgery at banner gateway but had to reschedule @ scottsdale. Was to have clear diet, then full liquid, pureed, soft... But @scottsdale, at week one they want you eating soft and you can start veggies and fruit and 80 grams protein. Tried that yesterday and my bladder has rebelled. Could hardly per today. I think it's too much too fast. I drank water with lemon today. Took a couple of cranberry capsules and went back to broth. I gained 4 lbs! Obviously it is water weight but Suresh!

Starting yesterday, I've had this side ache. It's very dull but annoying. I'm one week out.

Thanks
-
I think the key is getting enough water.

Anyone else getting sleeved in August?
shedevil replied to Living4Me's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had my surgery yesterday. My back was really hurting and I used a heating pad. Home today @ 2:30. Not too crazy about broth and hello. Now I just feel like I have the flu. Surgeon said I had hospital hernia. All he could do is bring my stomach back down. Guess I am part of the 5% who had a blood vessel in the way going to liver. He doesn't think it will be an issue tho. -
Medicines zicam and or mucinex

Does anyone else have restless leg syndrome? It drives me bonkers & usually there are only a couple of things that help. #1 I take a hot bath at night & #2 I have to take aspirin. Having said that I don't know what to take to help now. Tylenol just doesn't do the job & I know we can't have nsaids. Did it get better for anyone? Oh, I've tried the pharmaceuticals & they make me a space cadet & I worry about safety for me & others who put up with me.Thanks.

Requip is what made me spacey!
