Tylenol isnt working
Skittles00 replied to greensleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
R you trying extra strength Liquid? The pills did up me but the liquid did. I hope your headache goes away soon -
It lasted about a month we me. And it actually started during pre diet. It is much better now and gone mostly during day. But it gets bad at night when I sleep. I wake up running for a toothbrush

I had a stall for 2 1/2 weeks a couple weeks after surg. Then lost about 5 lbs and stalled again and only 7 weeks. Down only 24 pounds

Does the 'bad feeling' of water ever go away?
Skittles00 replied to aNewTanya's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I add lemon to my water and it seems to help it in my stomach better -
I am on Nuva ring. I was on it a while prior to my sleeve. It wasn't the cause of weight gain. It is "knock on wood" not causing weight gain post sleeve.

Abnormal Periods
Skittles00 replied to Lakish Rivera's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Omg. I had a 3 week period and if it would have lasted another week I would have called dr. I am sure everything is ok, your body is changing and trying to adjust. But two months.... Eek that is too long for comfort. Definitely contact dr to get the we need to see you or the nah it's ok. Let us know! -
Am 5 weeks post op. I have been out to eat 4 times. Each time I am rushing to get out of there feeling like I am going to pass out and vomit. But yet when I eat the food at home (including the left overs from the horrible out to eat experience) I feel fine. Any suggestions? My daughters soccer team is having a pizza party. I am going to get a small salad and hope I don't embarrass her or myself after I eat And in June (hoping this is better by then) I have to go on work trip for 11 days. That will be a lot of eating out with co workers.

What are the signs of a leak?
Skittles00 replied to She's_Sleeved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Symptoms of a leak vary, but most commonly are excruciating, radiating pain across abdomen, fever, rapid heart rate, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramping, fatigue. -
My dr had me get chewable Pepcid! They worked wonders!

Issues going out to eat
Skittles00 replied to Skittles00's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks! I will make a small salad and be sure to eat slowly and chew a lot. Hopefully the salad sits well. -
I'm going to Malley too! How are you doing now? I looked you up and saw that you had it about a month ago. I just got insurance approval today! When is your surgery? Mine was 3/10. I went through the motions the first 3 weeks. Suddenly week 4 I had energy. I was just on a stall and stayed the same weight for two weeks and was worried but yesterday and today the scale has moved. My best advice that even I need to follow is give it time and you will so great!!
-
Was sleeved March 10th. Up until 4/2 I had no energy. No matter what I did little or big I was exhausted. Then suddenly I felt good and have energy. The last two and a half weeks not only have I been on a heavy flow period (ladies will understand, sorry men) but I have not lost any weight. From the time of my surgery to the stall I have only lost 21lbs. I am getting really worried that I went through all that for just 21 lbs. Isn't it way too soon to hit a stall. I am not going over on calories and I get my water in and am trying to get close as possible to protein.
-
I definitely will! Thank you! And good luck to you Ginger!!! And speaking from experience, if you feel that exhaustion will never go away it will! I have lots of energy now! Before I used to wake up at night so many times even if just to roll over. Now that I have healed I am might wake up for a moment once or twice. It is so great sleeping through the night. Now to just get over this long stall! Good luck to you and be sure to update us on your progress!!

At a weight loss stand still
Skittles00 replied to Amanda121279's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am at same issue with just about same amount of wieghtloss except I am on soft foods. I was sleeved 3/10. I am fluctuating between a couple pounds. I had no energy and everything exhausted me up until last week. I find myself since Wednesday having more energy thankfully! -
Constant period, tired, b12 deficiency, cold
Skittles00 replied to Bella86's topic in The Gals' Room
I had my surgery on 3/10 and have been on a heavy period for two weeks. And I am on the Nuva ring. Hoping it ends soon -
4 Weeks out - Confused - What should I be eating?
Skittles00 replied to mimix3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sancharie1 I am right there with you. I tried over 30 min to eat a scrambled egg and actually got sick. It worries me being this far out (I was sleeved 3/10) and not knowing what to eat. And not getting my protein in. I am tired of the same stuff and the Protein shakes. I welcome suggestions too. -
I am from Kansas City. Surgeon Malley

I get the bubble too. People always ask why I sit up straight after swallowing something or kind of move around. It's because I'm trying to get rid of that feeling! What are you eating? Are you getting all your Protein and fluids in? I noticed my weight loss slowed after I started pureeds. Scared about it stopping completely after starting soft food. Kb88, I feel like I am always drinking Water.I have two Protein shakes a day. I have refried Beans (literally just a few small spoons and I am done). They approved me to have tuna if I mush it up then chew it a lot.I think I need to start walking more but just don't feel I have enough energy. I just got tickets to Disney on ice for this weekend to take my daughter and I have worry that I won't have the energy. But I am willing to try! I new I wasn't really going to be able to eat much, and I had lapband before so was used to restriction but I eat soooo little it worrys me.

I am 3 weeks post op. I am only down 16 pounds. I have been same weight last four days. Still on puréed foods til the 30th. Should I be stuck at same weight already discouraged
-
THIS is how the first 4 weeks go...
Skittles00 replied to HumanMerelyBeing's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am still on the puréed foods. I am 14 days out. I get so full so fast on puréed it has me scared to eat soft foods on the 30th. The fatigue is still with me too and I am started to feel discouraged. I am non stop thirsty. -
Acid refux and wind
Skittles00 replied to willow13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ah! Thank you! I will stick with the gasx strips! Good luck to you!! -
anyone with a march date?
Skittles00 replied to nesser's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I was sleeved March 10th. Two questions: If I drink ice Water I get a pain in my stomach. But if I drink normal temp not so bad. And how long does gas pain last. I was fine last week now last couple days shoulder hurts. Good luck to everyone! -
Acid refux and wind
Skittles00 replied to willow13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the acid reflux the second and third day post surgery. I just took chewable Pepcid and it worked . Thankfully. I am 12 days out and my shoulder is killing me. I take the gas ex strips but would the gas from surgery still bother it 12 days out? -

Skittles00 replied to lapnicky's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had mine done 8 weeks apart. I hope you are doing better. I am still worried about that and will pay close attention to signs. -

Did you have your band to sleeve revision done all at one time or two separate surgerys?
