    Well that can happen in general if you don't take your Vitamins...but it happens quicker to WLS patients. Thanks for bringing it up...not too many people bring it up! :-)

    Emergency Room :(

    Glad that you are feeling better and going home!
  11. My day was yesterday...I was to go in at 6 am for a 8 am surgery...around 4:30 or so, i started feeling really dizzy, nauseous and extremely faint. I thought that it was just a mixture of my nerves, hunger and anemia (which I have had for a while and my current menstrual status wasn't helping.) So I just had my babe help me get ready and waited for my cab. By the time I got to the hospital I was so bad I needed to be taken up in a wheelchair! My surgeon requested some blood work and I was so anemic that I needed a blood transfusion!!! I spent the night at the hospital getting blood and fluids. My surgery was postponed until next week! The waiting never ends huh?
  12. I had a sleeve done last year too and I am having it converted to a bypass because of a stricture as well...From what my surgeon says, the after surgery diets are similar. just gotta really watch the sugar and fat contents. Ask your surgeon though because they all have different time frames for diet progression. Best of luck on your surgery!

    So Im Home From The Hospital...without My Rny! :(

    Thanks everyone for all your well wishes and prayers! I am feeling a lot better and I am on top of my iron pills...I had blood work done today and I hope things are going in the right direction! My surgery was rescheduled for Monday which is my son's 6th birthday so I am sad to miss it but if I don't accept that date I will have to wait until next month! I guess I can look at it as if the surgery works the way we all expect it to work and helps me change my life it would be like I was born again and I share a birthday with my baby! I will be baking him a cake and celebrating with him on Friday...one last slice of cake before my 2 day clear liquid diet! lol

    I Feel Good But I Barely Eat

    Mami, this might be strange but have you tried baby food?? When I had my 1st surgery I would find the ones with the most protein and add unflavored protein to it...some of those baby foods are yummy and they are the perfect size!

    I Feel Good But I Barely Eat

    Yes they do sell unsalted seeds. I have also seen lightly salted with sea salt. The salt in the seeds could be causing some of the Water retention if that's what it is. I'm not a doctor so you should tell your surgeon about your pepita habit. Lol

    Sounds like water retention... Try to stay off your feet for a while if u can... Are the sunflower seeds salted?? That could make you retain water.

    Emergency Room :(

    I'm sorry you are not feeling well... Have them do a fluoro x-ray (the one with the nasty drink.) maybe there's a blockage? I hope this passé soon!!

    In Just A Few Hours I'll Be An Rny Patient!

    Thank you all! Surgery was postponed until next week. When I got to the hospital i was pale, shaking and faint....the blood work showed I was too anemic to have surgery and needed a blood transfusion instead. So in a few days I'll be having those butterflies all over again!
  23. And I'm so nervous! I am not scared to die just scared that if I do, my kids will be alone. My kids are scared especially my daughter and I don't know how to comfort them. Any ideas of what I can say that will calm them down??
