3rd week post op, cannot tolerate scrambled eggs, anyone else?
NuMe2014 replied to beatrizdallago's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm also 3wks post surgery & HONESTLY because of the many posts that I have read regarding eggs- I have just avoided them thus far. I was never a big scrambled egg eater but I do love boiled eggs and I figured I will just wait possibly another week before I give eggs period a shot. How's EVERYONE doing (newbies) doing w/ getting all your Protein & liquids in??? I'm struggling honestly!!! -
Slow weight loss in the beginning... Is this normal?
NuMe2014 replied to Marygp836's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How the heck are you able to get your liquids down??? I'm 3 weeks post & I struggle a lot w/ getting all my protein & fluids in. I find myself getting frustrated and wondering if I made the correct decision. I had a couple of really bad mental battles with myself. I can relate to what a lot of the posts are saying b/c I at times really feel lost. I do get down about weight-loss not being great but I think I get even more down because I'm trying to figure out how to get all of my protein and as well as my liquids as well as staying under the calorie count, taking all the vitamins, etc-----at times it becomes very difficult. -
I just got the sleeve 8/25/14 & I've been home 5 days now & I'm struggling.... Any advice

Big thanks--- my diarrhea has subsided some! Now I'm just adjusting! This is week two (day 9)- I still have some pain that I'm dealing with. I'm also trying to figure out why I'm hungry often! I drink the isopure protein drinks (fruit Punch & apple melon) it's not bad when I mix w/ water. I'm scared to weigh myself so I have opted not to do so until my 2 wk f/u this Friday! I'm grateful for this site b/c I'm able to read others experiences & get encouragement --- my emotions are all over the place. THANKS AGAIN!!!!

5 days post-op - intense cramping when I drink anything
NuMe2014 replied to wiightlosshippie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 8/25/14 & I too have been in great pain & my breathing has been off too. I try to walk around the house & @ times it work but other times it does not! I also had my gallbladder removed & a hernia repair! So I'm thinking it will take me a lil longer to heal..... My pain is ok for the most part except The area where they pulled the extra stomach out of- that hurt beyond words!! Reading others experiences have been helpful -
5 days post-op - intense cramping when I drink anything
NuMe2014 replied to wiightlosshippie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the encouraging words! I've been doubting myself a bit -
This site is very NEW to me... Still trying to learn how this works! It's been difficulty getting my Protein in & I've been experiencing diarrhea since trying some diluted mashed potatoes. I'm hungry most of the time because the liquids are currently going through me. I think I am allergic to the whey in the iso-pure because it makes my throat itch. I'm going to give the iso-pure protein liquid a try by putting it in some Water to dilute it. I feel weak a lot of the time. The biggest thing is to try to get down my liquids every day
