I guess I should be worried but my doctor said at the 4 month mark if my protein levels do not increase hair loss will happen. I am already noticing dryer skin.

K, my last surgery was a RNY. But after 16 years it formed a fistula. Three years of doctors trying to figure out what was wrong. I had gained back about 40lbs. But I was so sick the weight did not matter. I was just so sick of being sick. I feel guilt about loosing weight because I just did not want to be sick. I am trying to get happy. I lost my mom and then planned for surgery it took my insurance 8 months to give the ok. Let me know how the trainer goes. I was told to wait a bit longer for the gym. But I see both my surgeon and primary doctor on Friday. I am hoping to get to the gym after that. I am doing free gym memberships to find a gym that works with my crazy days. I am also in school so if I can start a routine the gym is cheap.

I am still sore. Have things gotten better with u? We both had revisions about two weeks apart.

Feeling better have been avoiding scale but could not help myself down to 216lbs from 275lbs my surgery was may 17, 1012.

Call your doctor

Try gripe water if you think it is gas. also can try laying on your left side.

I was thinking about doing HCG drops has anyone tried them post op?

I wish some lived near me. I would like to have a walking or workout partner. I can not afford a trainer. But that is wonderful news 2 more weeks and I am in the gym. I think we are about 2 weeks apart post op.

Everyone looks great. I never use my camera anymore. Too funny because the last pic I posted when I was camping had the date stamped like 5 years ago. Haha I am not very tech savvy

I have had back pain for years disc problems. After surgery the pain was more like muscle pain. Now with some weight loss it is better. But bending forward kills my stomach.

DL thanks for the list. Sorry about your injury . My dog is only 13lbs but will snap if I try to take anything away from her. Hurts like hell.

@redson for every oz you get 1.7 grams of protein .

I still go back and forth from sofa to bed and it has been a month. My body pillow is my best friend she follows me no matter where I sleep . I am thinking of giving her a name. Haha

I have not vomited yet, but I am so afraid of eating anything that might cause it. I am still doing soft food but added 5 min. Microwave talapia fish twice a day for protein but I eat very slow. I am scared to vomit.

I am always drinking. The back of my throat is horrible dry. I am also going to the dentist because my dry mouth is grossing me out and I hope teeth cleaning will help. Biotene makes tooth paste, mouth wash and mouth moisturing gel. It does help.

I can only eat about 2oz but sugarfree snowballs keep me happy I can get in 8oz in about an hour and I feel like I ate something. No dairy it kills me.

This week I have been up and down 225 to 222 I was hoping for 220 today

Not happy but here goes. Surgery weight 275lbs. 5/17/12 Taday 222lbs.

Please email me a copy rmarksrobin@yahoo.com , I am at 4weeks tomorrow could use any help.

I took off 2 weeks but wish now I would had taken the 4 or 6 weeks the doctor suggested.

Gripe water works for me

Maybe try warm broth. I do not eat meat or chicken but I fell in love with oriental broth it has ginger. The warmth made me feel less hungry.

Sorry thing a bit messy for u right now. But u need protein so maybe they forgot to say it but you will feel much better. By now you should have 60 grams each day. Best of luck

3 weeks post op and can not get passed the 220lbs. Preop 275 lbs but I think I am scale crazy I have been weighing at least 2 times a day.

You might want to try gripe water for stomach pain. I am just 3 weeks out but it saved me. Back pain seems to be common with all of us.
