Yes, I put on 10lbs! Even with the pre-op diet. I think it's normal and due to anesthesia and IV fluids.

Don't be sorry! That's what we are all here for. Personally my regimen is 1 50 mg Colace and 2 tbls of Miralax per day. Water, water, water. Fresh vegetable juice. Good luck. Constipation is the worst. Makes me feel like not eating or drinking. Hope you feel better soon.

What Protein Shakes Do You Use?
purpleamy replied to LosingItForMe2011's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Isopure Protien drinks are tasty. A little expensive but good for a change in the menu. "Pure Protien" shakes - Banana Cream, Cookies and Cream, strawberry. They are in cans and the are light. -
Why Do My Teeth Feel So Dirty?
purpleamy replied to Kymbesha's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I'm getting the same thing and I'm 4 weeks post op. I believe it has something to do with the protein shakes. Hopefully it changes when normal food is reintroduced. :-( -

Yes!!!! My doc told me on Friday to take Colace. It has helped the ease but not frequency.

Ask your doctor if you can wear any of the patches. The ones that help you stop smoking or the gum.

*help! I Dont Want To Eat!*
purpleamy replied to law8486's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
4 weeks post op and I can only get 1 can (35 oz) protein and 25 oz of water down a day. Just trying new methods of water. Decaf ice tea with Stevia, sf Popsicles, crystal light. Nothing is appealing but we gotta keep trying. -
Hi has anyone here struggled with the insomnia issue post-op? I already had insomnia before the suregery.I take Ativan but it does not help a bit now, I take s shorter every night to feel more relaxed. It's terrible going to sleep at 2 a,m and wake up at. 5. Would love to hear your responses, suggestion Thank you

Thank you Panda. I will check with the doc. I see him tomorrow for my 2 week post op apt.

I have been feeling the same way. I read up on it and it it's because we aren't getting seratonin in our diets anymore. My advice is to hang out in the sunshine and know that the initial phases aren't forever. Best wishes! Amy

Telling Work About Needing Time Off For Surgery
purpleamy replied to kb12210's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doc automatically gives a two week notice to the employer. -
I'm kinda scared of this pre op liquid diet. I've had to stop taking my hormones already and next is my arthritis medication. Hopefully all these changes don't make me a crazy lady!
