Excited and sad about my results from my blood work. Everything was fine except my Vitamin D was extremely low I guess starting today I am going to have to start taking Vitamin D twice a day. My b12 was extremely high. I currently take Nascobar nasal spray and its 1 time a week. My 6mo check up had me so nervous but Im glad I had the surgery with 0 complications and Im losing slowly and gracefully.

Water and food at the same time?
msfitn2014 replied to gahannagal's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I cant tell which surgery you had BUT when i was banded in 2005 i was told not to because if you are too tight the drinking/eating will cause you to throw up...if you are not too tight it pushes the food out the pouch allowing you to eat more, which cause weight stall-gain! Im now sleeved in 2014 and if i try to drink-eat i will throw up and have chest pains because there is no room for food/liquid! Hope this helps -
I love it powdered pb2 and i pour it in my protein and shake it in a shaker!!

msfitn2014 replied to *Lexie*'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I never had a stall, I would lose at least 1-4 pound a week after surgery. Im 6 months out. -

Dumping syndrome and sugar?
msfitn2014 replied to NewKaren's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have heard some sleeve patients can not tolerate sugar, milk, salads or fried foods. I happen to be one that can not tolerate anything fried. I would try it again in maybe a month or two and see what happens, good luck. -
How do you know or keep track of your protein when you're not even eating half a serving?
msfitn2014 replied to lose4life2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also use MFP to help calculate my protein intake. I drink one shake a day so I know for a fact I am getting in at least 30....In my early stage first 1-2 mo I drank 2 shakes to make sure I got 60 grams in. I know most of the time if I eat something its never the full or even 1/2 the serving Good luck -
I have a desk job and my dr took me off for 3 weeks....honestly I could have went back after 3 days. They did my paperwork for time off the week b4 surgery so of course I didnt know what type of pain I would be in! We are all different and will experience diff pain and recovery differently....I was pain free and had a speedy recovery

@ifein229 The only food that I tried twice and could not eat is fried food...yes I dumped...severe abdominal cramps, sweating, chills and runs for abt 30-45 min and abt 10 min after I ate it both times I tried to eat something fried....everything else I have no problem with, i just eat in small quanities...fruit, veggies, salads, dairy products, bread...i can eat one slice of pizza!
