Sinus infection and antibiotics (TMI)
Quest4TheNewMe replied to Quest4TheNewMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the suggestions ladies. I've been making sure to take them with food and I've been eating yogurt. I contacted my PCP today to ask if there's something else I can take that won't have the same impact and I was told that I can take Miralax... Won't that just make it worse?? -
How Many Different Bills Did You Get?
Quest4TheNewMe replied to mnmlst's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been billed for my portion of pathology and anesthesia, from my Nov 13th surgery. I know I'll get something from the hospital. Will have to see what else comes in... -
Sick congested what to do?
Quest4TheNewMe replied to sarah92200's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have a nasty cough and sore throat and I was told that sugar free cough syrup and sugar free cough drops are okay. Doesn't help you with congestion though... -
Sliming / Throwing Up
Quest4TheNewMe replied to mnmlst's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's a bummer! Are you making sure to eat slowly and chew really well? Otherwise, I'd start tracking it to see if you can find some sort of commonality... Specific food? Situation? Since it isn't happening very often, I wouldn't think it would be due to some sort of medical issue, but of course it never hurts to consult your surgeon. -
Sliming / Throwing Up
Quest4TheNewMe replied to mnmlst's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I never have, but I'm only 7 weeks post-op. Though, I am eating regular foods. I've never been much if a puker though... -
I was November 13th. I'm down 25 lbs since surgery and 68 lbs since I started this whole process in mid-July.

Congrats! Make sure you stay on top of the Water. I was doing great with water at a week post-op but have been struggling the last few weeks. I'm having a really hard time finding something that tastes good (my tap water tastes like fish now, ick!!).

Never Been Normal Size In My Whole Life...
Quest4TheNewMe replied to downsizingdiva's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was in a size 14 in 7th grade. I'm now wearing a size 14 (6 weeks post-op). It's crazy to think I'll be in smaller sizes soon... This is the least I've weighed in 15 years. I'm right there with you!! -
Light headed sometimes
Quest4TheNewMe replied to skinnybitchgoals's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a similar issue and my NUT told me to up my calorie intake a bit and to make sure I was getting enough water. -
Going back to work, what do I say?
Quest4TheNewMe replied to tfarr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've told everyone who has asked that I an doing high protein, low carb, low calorie (truth ) and that I've been working on it for a while (truth - since July), but people seem to just starting to notice (truth). -
I was sore for a solid month, which my doc said was normal. Then, suddenly one day I woke up and felt totally fine.

This may be a stupid question but....
Quest4TheNewMe replied to jnfisher's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was on clear liquid for 8 days and then my NUT doesn't recommend protein shakes at all post-op. -
Protien on clear liquid diet
Quest4TheNewMe replied to Dragonjo's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My doc office told me not to worry about protein intake during the clear liquid diet. -
At my one month appt, I told my NUT that I was only getting around 400 calories (on a good day) and she said that was totally fine.

Onederland!
Quest4TheNewMe replied to skinnybitchgoals's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats!! With any luck, I'll be there in the next couple of weeks (for the first time in 15 years). -
I was 6 weeks post-op yesterday and other than trying to make sure I drink enough water, I feel back to about 99%. Call your surgeon... At least make sure it's nothing serious!

Feeling like you're getting no where
Quest4TheNewMe replied to mmckaskle's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I've eaten out a few times (and I'm just over 5 weeks out). I either order chili or an omelette. I think that maintaining healthy social relationships is important too. -
Does anyone actually like their protein drink?
Quest4TheNewMe replied to AvaFern's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was initially trying to find something I could drink on my hour commute to work, as breakfast, but since I don't feel hunger at this point I've just been waiting until I get to work and having a yogurt. -
1 French = 1/3 mm My doc used a 38 F.

Quest4TheNewMe replied to AvaFern's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've tried Atkins Advantage (loved pre-op), Premiere Protein, Jay Robb, GNC Lean 25... I think that's it. My program actually doesn't recommend protein drinks, and I've been doing okay without them. -

Sorry, yes, we have two kids. My 7 yr old would have been fine but my 3 yr old has the risk of being a disaster. -

Quest4TheNewMe replied to AvaFern's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The only ones that I've really been able to tolerate are Muscle Milk, and my NUT doesn't support them... -
Up until 1 month, even though I was on soft foods by that point, I was only supposed to be eating 1/4 cup. When I moved from clear liquids to puréed at 9 days post op, my serving size was 2 tablespoons.

Sorry, my hubby will be out of town... Still determined to make it one of these times though.
