honestly, I'm hoping weight loss will regulate me. Mine has been so all over the place, not uncommon for me to go months without then be on my period for a month.

CONGRATS!!

You are not alone, we've all been there (or are there), It's an emotional journey, I'm not going to lie but it's worth it in the end** **at least to me it is, I'm only a week out from my surgery but I'm already looking slimmer in my face and feeling better.

It's the little things really that mean so much to us. Congrats!! you should have seen me when I discovered I lost 11 lbs - not too big of a thing normally but for the last four years I've never lost more then 10 lbs before regaining it.

Not exactly sure, aunt flow came to visit a few days before my surgery and is refusing to leave.. GRR! Pain meds react weird in me so I'm not taking them now that the pain is tolerable and I am not sure if the cramps are due to aunt flow or mixed with surgery pain.

. Thanks such an inspiration. Today for me is day 7 post op and so far it's been an amazing day. I'm on protein based liquids per my doctor - move to full liquid tomorrow yay! So far today I've done 24 oz liquid and 23 grams protein (about 1/3rd where my dr wants me at daily) -
No straw for me. It could be air though.

I'm on day 6 post op and I hiccup multiple times per day. anyone know what is causing this and how can I make it stop/or will it stop?

Did anyone get in all of their fluids and protein the first week?

. I just got some isopure today. It's a little weak in flavor for me but I added a sugar free Water flavor packet in grape (I got the grape flavor) and that helps. -
5 days post op and not sure I am following the rules
pjpanda replied to besticanb23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I totally understand. since I'm on Protein based liquids still, I tend to count a meal as anything eaten(okay drunk) during normal meal/snack time. as for head hunger, I sipped Water till I was full and the full feeling generally took away my head hunger -

Update: Doc gave me a steroid to reduce swelling and I figures out that part of the problem was the pain meds making me nauseated. It's been getting better! -
TMI........ BUT WHEN WILL I POOP
pjpanda replied to Rebellious Butterfly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Now I may have other issues but not here. I'm on post op day 5 and I've had in the last 24 hrs 5 bms. Perhaps it will change when I can add more food other the popsicles to my diet. -

You know, I just realized that 16 oz water and 11 oz protien shake is really great for me! I've never been much of a drinker (liquids) before surgery I drank maybe 10 oz on a good day. Why should I expect things to change after surgery to make my stomach smaller? -
Would love to try. Sleeved 5/21 and haven't weighed myself since hospital but have an appointment before the 30th so will try and remember to post an update. As a placeholder 238 (hospital weight) and goal weight: 215

. One of the signs I know of dehydration is a dark yellow urine color. It should be clear/really pale in color for healthy urine. As long as your urine is good, do what you can. Everybody is different. Also way to go janeyb glad you can get it in. -

I'm on post op day 4. So far the most I have taken in was yesterday. 10 oz water 11 oz protien shake. Today I am about 12-13oz water and 2 oz shake so far. No where near where I am supposed to be but I figure as long as I am increasing daily I should be happy. -

. I'm on post op day four. This thread has been a lifesaver. So what if I'm not doing as well as others. I am alive, getting better by the day and looking forward to increasing my intake each day. So what if I only managed 10 oz water and 11 oz protien shake. It's no where near where my doctor wants me but it was more the. The 8oz water day before. -

Oh good then I'm not going crazy. Doc had me on Percocet but every time I take it I get nauseated for a good hr. May have to switch to Tylenol to see if it helps. -

Anyone know if it's possible that my pain meds are part of what is making me nauseated? -

I find I can keep popsicles sugar free down but that's about it. -

I'm right there with you. 2 days post op and almost nothing wants to stay down. I'm about to cry from the pain. -
I thought it might have been the hospital gown. There I a fe detergents mom and my sister221 so figured that was the issue. I did g-et a private room and the doctor was amazing.- tmc treats you amazingly
