Day 4 and I'm not feeling well. Is this normal?
jujube replied to Margie14's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Day 4 and 5 were the worst ones for me. Did not want to get out of bed. After that it was major improvement every day. I really think I could have gone back to work day 8 or 9 and I don't have a desk job. I did wait for 2wks to go back to work jic. It does get better so don't despair. -
Getting enough liquids in?
jujube replied to solea78's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do the protein shakes count towards the liquid intake. Or is it just water? -

I had bad hunger pains about 5 days out. I felt like I could have eaten an horse. I am almost 3 wks now and am rarely hungry. -
Do you take PPI for life?
jujube replied to alwaysonadiet's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My dr said I did not need them and he didn't put me on any after surgery. I have not had any issues with acid reflux. -

I have been drinking my daily cup of coffee since day five. I think it is fine -
Why didn't anyone tell me it was going to be this hard?
jujube replied to uscbree's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Day 3,4&5 were the hardest for me. Don't give up, it will get better. Day 18 for me and I feel great! -

Am I just weird...or is this "normal"?
jujube replied to allaboutme77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had mine on the 18th. I started feeling really hungry on about day 6. I was worried and thought oh no, what am I going to do? I am now day 15 and am rarely hungry. I usually eat so I can get my Protein in. Last night I had to drink a Protein shake to get to my protein level for the day but really did not feel hungry. -
Yay 3/7/2014 New Day New Me
jujube replied to NewMe3/2014's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Good luck on your surgery. You will not regret it! -
I had surgery 2/18. I am losing weight but I feel it is all in my legs. I think I have lost two pant sizes in my legs but my stomach is still the same size. I can barely button my pre surgery jeans but they are sagging in the butt and legs. I have to keep the top button unbuttoned. Is this normal? Is my stomach still bloated?
-
I had one that they put in during surgery and took out before I woke up. The only reason I knew was because in recovery all of the sudden I felt this moisture between my legs. I guess it was the lubricant they use???? I thought I was peeing on myself.
-
Wow, so sorry you have to go back to work do soon. Day 3,4,5 where my absolute worse. I do honestly think I could have gone back to work on day 7. Good luck as it will get better!

Does anyone use these? I bought some since I am always constipated. I am 2 weeks post op. I popped one in my mouth and had to spit it out because I was afraid I could not get it chewed enough (on puree stage) If anyone uses these, how long before you started? Or would I be better off going and buying some Fiber that dissolves in liquid?
-
I would be interested in this also. Although I rarely drink, I do like a magarita occasdionally.
-
You look great.
-
Guess I should try nibbling instead of popping the whole thing in my mouth LOL. I thought they would just kind of dissolve.

I totally agree with talking to the manager and emailing corporate. It is none of her business what book you buy.

3weeks out, calorie question?
jujube replied to Zoumommy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on the puréed phase and there is no way I am getting 1000 calories. Everything I purée grosses me out. The only thing I have found so far I can stand is mashed potatoes so I am eating a few bites of that and mostly still just doing the shakes. -
yes, that patch made my eyes blurry when I had one on for a cruise. I thought I had lost my mind!
-
I have read on some of these forums that you can never drink coffee? Why is this? I am less than one week out and am having a cup now. Added a tsp of unflavored Protein powder. Is coffee bad? My doctor or nutritionist never said anything about coffee but then again, my dr and nut do not ban potatoes like some of the doctors here. Any feedback?

Day 10-why do I feel so hungry and lightheaded?
jujube posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Day 10 of the liquid diet. I have felt real good and have basically not really been hungry until today. I have had a Protein shake and some blended thin Soup with added protein and I feel like I could eat a horse right now. Any suggestions? -
For about the first week everything I put in my mouth made me burp. And I don't mean just one little burp. My stomach also made alot of noise. It still does at times. But I am 11 days post op and the burping has almost stopped.

Cramping on the left side
jujube replied to jessroto's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have read that many surgeons pull the stomach out of this area and the incision is slighty larger and that is why that pain happens. My stomach was pulled from the belly button hole so I think my "stitch" was from the drain.
