I was really dizzy at the beginning of the week. I know you just got out of surgery but its from lack of Protein. I thought I was doing great getting 40grams in a week after surgery but the doctor yesterday told me to try and up it because that's what was making me so dizzy.

How long until you can swim again?
Jeepchick42 replied to mcdoja's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just had my one week follow up this morning and was cleared to swim. I live on cape cod and my whole life during the summer revolves around the beach. I can't wait to get in the water!! But alas, it's still a little cold. : ( -
I just had my one week follow up. I've lost 14lbs in a week!! I'm so excited!! The pa said I'm doing great and I'm cleared for everything (driving, exercising, etc). It took me two months to lose 20lbs before surgery. I'm blown away!! ????

Walk, walk, walk!! My gas pains were gone in two days cause I kept walking.

I know protein powder isn't sitting well with you but try non fat dry milk powder mixed into soup or the carnation instant breakfast. It has 8grams of protein in a scoop. It'll be nice to get out if the house and having a change of scenery. Getting some fresh air might help too

I had probably 3oz of Greek yogurt and an 11oz protein shake this morning and felt better. I still can't stand up too quick but definitely and improvement. I working on the last 3oz of a bottle of water too. I couldn't imagine still having to be on clear liquids. I think I would have fainted a long time ago.

We'll see if its true tomorrow. I have my one week follow up. And it's saying that I lost another 3 this morning.

Good luck guys!!!

I'm up to around 40-45 a day and I just had my surgery last Wednesday. I just took my Prilosec so I have to wait a half hour before I have anything. I think I'm going to try some yogurt.

Feeling really light headed today. Probably lack of calories.

Not sure if my scale is working properly but it says that I've lost another 9lbs since yesterday morning. Is that even possible?!?!?

Post-OP Sleeping
Jeepchick42 replied to momoneworleans's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 5 days out and desperately wish I could sleep on my sides or stomach. I get severe nightmares when I sleep on my back. But liquid Vicodin helps until I'm able to sleep on my side. Hopefully it's soon. -
I think I over did it yesterday. I haven't been able to drink as much today. But I did have a quarter cup of yogurt that sat very well. But when I take a deep breath I get this dull pain that wasn't there before.

Just how tired you get doing ordinary activities. I went out with my family yesterday for about 2 hours. When I got home I was so tired I took a two hour nap.

Mine is swollen. Not huge but I can definitely tell. I don't have a drain. It is a very complicated and traumatic surgery. You will swell from it. On a brighter note, I just weighed myself and I've lost all the fluid weight that I gained in the hospital (22lbs!! Yikes!!) but the rest that comes off is all me!!! I'm so happy!! It's like a mini victory and gets me motivated to lose more!!

What ya eating tonight?
Jeepchick42 replied to OleHippieGal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
4 oz chicken broth. Can't wait for soft foods!! A week and a half to go. -
Wow!! We've got quite a list going. Good luck to everyone next week!! Don't hype it up. It really isn't that bad.
-
Walk walk walk!!!! As much as you can!! It's the only thing that helped me. The day after I got home I was up at 5:30 am doing laps around my 1 bedroom apt. I must have done 100 laps and it was gone in about 2 days.

Jeepchick42 replied to mylynn1377's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've had about 40 oz today and I had my surgery on Wednesday. I'm finding that whatever I drink feels like it gets stuck. I have to take a deep breath to get it to go down. Almost like if you swallow something and it goes down rough and you have to lift your arms over head to clear it.
